■ About the Figure
The CB-EX series captures popular One Piece characters based on their childhood appearances. Its newest edition features the popular Ghost Princess, Perona, in her famous gothic lolita style.
Holding hands with a ghost she made using powers granted to her by the Horo Horo no Mi, floating through the air using her red umbrella at a height of approximately 16.5 cm (6.5”, which includes her display pedestal and umbrella). She’s wearing a red dress with the same pigtails she has as a member of Thriller Bark. With a sense of style that suits the princess, Perona is depicted wearing a crown and was designed by the sculpting unit Jango who also worked on CB-EX Rebecca and Sugar. It also has a very gothic look to it, from the red, black, and pink notes of her gothic chic outfit and accessories to the Thriller Bark-like diorama.
She comes with an exclusive message card with “Trick or Treat” written on it, so she’s even perfect as a Halloween present. Pre-orders started on Perona’s birthday, Tuesday, June 7, at 1:00 pm.
