Let’s take a closer look:
The Nami (Punk Hazard Ver.) figure is part of Bandai’s Variable Action Heroes collection of articulated action figures and has been produced as a commemorative edition in honour of Mega Hobby Expo 2016. The figure stands at 17 centimeters tall and is inspired by the Punk Hazard arc of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece manga which takes place on the island of the same name where the terrain runs the extreme between scorching deserts and freezing icebergs.
Nami's waist-length hair is tied up in a ponytail and she’s dressed only in her denim pants and yellow bikini top patterned with red stars while adopting an aggressive attitude to confront her enemies! Armed with her classic Climate Baton with effect pieces reproducing its control of clouds and lightning, the figure can be posed to recreate all those fantastic battle scenes as seen in the manga.
The figure also comes with interchangeable facial expressions featuring a Sanji-style face so you can recreate the body swap effect caused by Trafalgar Law’s Ope Ope Fruit ability for a very strange looking Nami with heart-shaped eyes and a cigarette hanging from her mouth. With its realistic sculpt and high quality paint job, Nami (Punk Hazard Ver.) is a joy to behold whether just to display or to have fun posing.
