[ZOOM!] Shiliew - P.O.P Neo DELUXE

From Impel Down to Your Shelf: Shiliew of the Rain Joins the P.O.P Lineup!

Shiliew of the Rain—once the infamous Chief Guard of Impel Down, later the cold-blooded right-hand man of Blackbeard—is now striking a pose in the Portrait of Pirates Neo DELUXE series! Yes, this brutal swordsman who traded justice for chaos is finally part of our figure collections, and what a presence he brings. This piece totally made my day—Shiliew’s brooding charisma, his intimidating stance, and a pose that screams danger all come together to deliver a figure that feels like a declaration: *the Blackbeard Pirates have officially entered the game*.

A Milestone for Blackbeard Pirates Collectors

Before this release, we had only seen Teach himself get the P.O.P treatment. Shiliew becomes the second Blackbeard Pirate to be immortalized in figure form, and that's a big deal. Even though we haven’t seen much of him yet in the main story, there’s no doubt that Oda’s saving this guy for something huge. This figure feels like a preview of things to come—like Shiliew is just waiting to unsheathe that deadly blade in a future showdown. If you’re collecting major villains or prepping for the inevitable war arc, this figure is a must.

Big, Bold, and Battle-Ready

Let’s talk size and presence: this figure stands tall and firm with a dominant posture that’s pure intimidation. The pose is versatile and highly customizable—there are over three different display configurations you can play around with. My personal favorite is the attack stance. The way Shiliew grips his katana gives off an aura of brute strength and ruthless precision. It’s that kind of detail that elevates a good figure into a collector’s highlight.

Uniform of a Former Warden, Colors of a Future Menace

Shiliew’s outfit is packed with military authority and a touch of villainous flair. He wears a crisp officer's uniform layered under a long, flowing coat that’s draped like a cape—a signature look that really accentuates his silhouette. The coat is painted in a combination of white, yellow, and black with striking kanji on the back (獄, "Goku" meaning “prison”), linking him visually to his dark past. His black officer hat features a red band and distinctive white ear flaps, while his maroon gloves add a final note of menace. The glossy finish on the hat, gloves, and uniform gives the whole figure a slick, premium look that catches the light just right on your shelf.

The Sword That Speaks Volumes

Of course, we can’t ignore the katana—this is a P.O.P figure, after all! Shiliew's sword is a beauty: a long blade with a square guard and a unique sheath split into red and white halves. The attention to detail is phenomenal, from the sculpt of the blade to the satisfying “click” sound it makes when you slide it in and out. I’ve always loved how MegaHouse treats their swords with respect, and this one is no exception—it’s functional, fierce, and flat-out fun to pose.

Final Thoughts: A Ruthless Addition You Can’t Miss

If you're looking for a villain with presence, history, and future relevance, Shiliew delivers all that with a deadly grin. From his imposing build to the beautiful paint job, every inch of this figure shows why the P.O.P Neo DELUXE line is beloved by collectors. Whether you display him preparing to draw his blade or standing menacingly with arms crossed, Shiliew is here to stay—and this might just be the beginning of a full Blackbeard Pirates invasion in figure form.
