One Piece Jeans Freak Vol. 6 - Roronoa Zoro
This figure is available in two different color variations and shows Zoro standing firmly with his arms crossed. His short spiky green hair is just like the anime and his face has been carefully painted. His thin eyebrows and eyes make his look confident while his mouth has been sculpted into a slight smirk. Zoro also has a scar down the middle of his left eye just, like after the two year time skip. The manufacturers didn't forget the smaller details of Zoro’s design, like his earrings on his left ear. The first color variation has Zoro wearing a dark blue t-shirt with a thick grey stripe going down the middle. The jeans and sandals of this variation are also black. The other color variation has Zoro wearing a teal t-shirt with a yellow stripe going down the middle while he wears light blue jeans and the same black sandals.

Ichiban Figure One Piece Great Banquet Zoro
This figure shows Zoro mid-fight as he releases one of his sword moves. He wears dark green baggy pants which are tucked into his black combat boots. His green coat is undone and hanging by his hips, showing his light green striped haramaki underneath. His broad figure is exposed revealing his large diagonal scar along his muscled chest and his strong arms both hold a sword in each hand with his third sword held by his teeth. Both arms are wide apart and mid-swing as he looks ready to attack. The scabbards to the three swords are all hanging by his waist and each one is decorated with a different pattern, as seen in the One Piece series. Although his expression is hard to see due to the sword in his mouth and his black bandana covering the top of his head, a simple glance at his eyes is all it takes to intimidate anyone who happens to make eye contact.

The black bandana usually tied around his arm is wrapped around his head to show that he is serious as he has one sword unsheathed. His other two swords are sheathed and hanging by his waist. The unsheathed sword is in his right hand while the scabbard is held in his left as he prepares to unleash an attack. Coming from the sword are blue and purple colored flames that follow where his sword just sliced. His arms have been painstakingly crafted to show veins bulging, showing how much strength Zoro is using to release an attack.

About Roronoa Zoro
Roronoa Zoro is the second main character to appear in the series of One Piece and the first character that Monkey D. Luffy, the main character, recruits into his pirate crew. Zoro is a master swordsman and uses his unique Three Swords Style in the hope to one day become the best swordsman in the world to fulfill a promise he made to his deceased friend. Zoro has some sides of him that are carefree and irresponsible as he sleeps through many events, but he is mostly serious and understands how society works. He is a very cool-headed and determined individual, believing there are some lines that can be crossed and forgiven, but breaking some rules require the proper judgement to be forgiven. He is a man of his word and wholeheartedly believes in the words of Luffy and trusts him fully.
Reviews
Zoro is a popular character, as seen by many of the figures being out of stock or very limited supply. These figures show off Zoro’s nicely built body as he executes his sword attacks. The figures of Zoro often have him frozen in time and posing mid-attack, allowing the sculptor to add an incredible amount of detail to the figure, whereas a move used by Zoro only lasts seconds in the anime. These figures capture Zoro during his coolest moments causing them to be in great demand.
