[ZOOM!] Portgas D. Ace

Figure: Portgas D. Ace - P.O.P Neo 2

A Fiery Yet Flawed Representation

The P.O.P Neo 2 figure of Portgas D. Ace is a decent addition to the One Piece Portrait of Pirates line, though not without its flaws. While Megahouse did a good job capturing his signature pose and fiery presence, the execution isn’t quite perfect. The biggest drawback? Ace’s facial sculpt, which appears slightly off, giving him an unusual, somewhat deformed look. This was a disappointment for many collectors, especially considering how beloved Ace is within the franchise.

Redeeming Qualities

That said, the figure still has plenty of redeeming qualities. The flame effect on his arm is well-crafted, bringing his Mera Mera no Mi abilities to life, and the details on his outfit and accessories—including his beaded necklace, dagger, and signature hat—are handled with care. His back tattoos, a crucial part of his character design, are also faithfully recreated.

Reissue Improvements

Recognizing the facial sculpt issue, Megahouse later released two limited-edition reissues with some corrections, though these versions were harder to obtain. If you missed out on those, the original still remains a decent collectible—especially for Ace fans or those looking to complete their One Piece P.O.P lineup.

Final Thoughts

While not the strongest entry in the series, Ace’s P.O.P Neo 2 remains an important piece in the Portrait of Pirates history and a sought-after figure for many collectors.
