[ZOOM!] Marshall D. Teach Ver.1.5

Figure: Marshall D. Teach Ver.1.5 - P.O.P Neo EX

Zoom on the Wicked: Marshall D. Teach Ver.1.5 Joins the Dark Parade!

When it comes to raw chaos and unfiltered villainy, few characters in One Piece can rival Marshall D. Teach, aka Blackbeard. And now, MegaHouse brings him back to the P.O.P stage with the Ver.1.5 update—leaner, meaner, and madder than ever. This isn’t just a simple reissue; it’s a complete villain glow-up that lets the terror of the Blackbeard Pirates captain radiate from the shelf with new precision.

Sculpting and Detail

This Ver.1.5 is a sculptor’s love letter to madness. The original DX version already had fans howling, but this one kicks things up several notches. The face alone is a certified masterpiece, capturing every twisted smirk and deranged glint Teach is known for. And yes—there are two faceplates here, one offering your standard dose of evil grin, and the other taking it to a terrifying level of red-eyed, unhinged insanity. It’s like watching a villain’s descent into total madness—beautifully sculpted into plastic.

Paintwork and Color Scheme

Gone is the flashy finish of the DX version—Ver.1.5 tones it down, opting for a darker, grittier color palette that’s far more in line with the anime and manga. His jacket now leans more orange-red than burgundy, and the cape has a matte, worn finish that brings extra weight to the figure's presence. His weapons are repainted too, with more metallic shine that adds realism without sacrificing his wild aesthetic. The change may be subtle, but the result is a far more accurate and sinister Teach.

Pose and Presence

Everything about his pose screams dominance and madness. Teach’s stance is wide and grounded, hands spread out like he’s about to swallow the world whole—classic Blackbeard energy. The open mouth expression and intense eyes make him feel alive, like he’s roaring right out of your display cabinet. There’s no need for crazy accessories here; the pose, expression, and sheer aura of this figure do all the heavy lifting.

Accessories and Expression Options

The figure includes two different faces, but make no mistake—they aren’t “just variants.” Each one completely alters the tone. The first captures Teach’s cocky, overconfident swagger. The second dives into full-blown lunacy, red eyes blazing and teeth clenched in chaotic fury. The fact that both expressions are so effective at storytelling is a testament to MegaHouse’s sculpting team leveling up big time. No alternate arms or weapons are needed when the face alone tells a novel.

Final Thoughts

This updated version of Blackbeard is a dark jewel in the P.O.P Neo EX crown. It doesn’t just revisit the original—it dominates it in many ways, with a stronger likeness to the manga and a sculpt that pushes the boundaries of expressive villainy. And for collectors who missed the DX release (or just weren’t ready to sell a kidney for it), Ver.1.5 is a savior. It's a worthy centerpiece for any shelf of scoundrels.
