Another Z... but with a Stylish Twist!
The BEAMS T Ver. of Tony Tony Chopper from the P.O.P Edition-Z series isn’t just another re-release—it’s a bold, fashion-forward twist on the original. While it shares the exact same sculpt as the standard Edition-Z Chopper, this version flips the script with an all-monochrome color palette that brings a surprising amount of depth and contrast to the tiniest Straw Hat member. Released as part of the BEAMS T collaboration line, this figure is the fourth in the monochromatic series and comes out swinging with a look that’s both cute and classy.
Same Sculpt, New Attitude
Let’s get it straight: this figure is 100% the same mold as the original Edition-Z Chopper. From the oversized pirate hat with its fabulous feather tail to the detailed weapons strapped to his tiny body, everything sculpt-wise is identical. But the magic here lies in the paint job. The BEAMS T Ver. trades in the bold pirate reds and shimmering golds of the original for a sleek, grayscale gradient that turns Chopper into a walking art piece. Shadows and light are painted in, creating a sense of depth that’s shockingly effective given the limited palette.
The Monochrome Arsenal
Despite being small, Chopper still comes geared up for battle. He’s got his sword in his left hand (yes, apparently our doctor is a lefty), twin pistols slung on his back, and a full pirate ensemble. The paint might be subdued, but the detailing is as crisp as ever. What was once a playful splash of pirate gold is now a study in texture and tone. The hat feathers, the coat’s folds, even the shine on the boots—all still pop, just in grayscale.
Three Hats, Infinite Charm
Just like the original, this version includes three interchangeable head options: the comically oversized pirate hat, the nostalgic Doctor Hiluluk hat, and the polka-dot bandana for a more casual vibe. No matter which one you choose, Chopper’s expressions come to life even without the help of color. The monochrome scheme surprisingly enhances the mood of each look, giving them a slightly more artistic edge.
Should You Get It If You Have the Original?
If you already own the standard Edition-Z Chopper, you might ask yourself—do I need this one too? And the answer is… maybe more than you think. The BEAMS T Ver. is less about pirate flair and more about visual storytelling. It’s a stylistic companion, not a replacement. Side-by-side, they look like a “before and after” from a movie flashback, or a dream sequence version of Chopper caught in an old black-and-white reel. It’s the same pirate, but reimagined for a different kind of shelf aesthetic.
Conclusion
The Tony Tony Chopper BEAMS T Ver. - P.O.P Edition-Z might be a repaint, but it’s no lazy release. It transforms the original sculpt into a collector’s piece with serious artistic flair. For fans of Chopper, the monochrome BEAMS T line, or just unique figure variations, this one’s a tiny treasure worth snagging. Pirate charm, medical genius, and high fashion? Chopper’s got it all—this time in black and white.
