The Strongest Swordsman Returns!
The time has come to sharpen our gaze and draw our swords for another legend—Mihawk joins the P.O.P Neo DELUXE line again, and this version is every bit the masterpiece you’d expect for the “Greatest Swordsman in the World.” Not only does he capture Mihawk’s fearsome reputation, but he brings a new level of quality that makes this second figure a must-have, even for those who already treasure the first one.
A Touch of Untouchable Greatness
Attempting to re-sculpt a character as iconic as Mihawk was no small challenge, but Ishiyama Yuuki stepped up and delivered magic. Building on the original work of the legendary Black Sabbath sculptor, Mihawk Ver.2 elevates every aspect—from sharper detail to more customizable options. Every inch of the figure breathes luxury, from the ornate embroidery of the crimson coat to the meticulous carving of his belt and the deadly beauty of Yoru, his famed sword.
The Count of the Seas
Mihawk’s appearance remains striking and regal. His lean, athletic frame is captured perfectly, along with his signature short beard, pointed sideburns, and that sharp, calculating gaze. His black wide-brimmed hat, crowned with an extravagant feather, casts a dramatic shadow over his eyes, enhancing the air of mystery. Beneath his open red-and-black jacket, he proudly displays the golden crucifix dagger—a subtle but deadly accessory that adds to his intimidating aura.
The coat itself is a work of art, embroidered with intricate floral patterns that are not just painted but sculpted with stunning depth. Every wrinkle and fold of his pants, every twist of the boots around his thin legs, screams expert craftsmanship. The textures, the gradients, and the tiny painted touches work together to make this figure feel almost alive.
The Might of Yoru
No Mihawk figure would be complete without Yoru—the world’s greatest sword—and here it’s an absolute showstopper. With its curved black blade, ornate golden guard accented with green and blue beads, and a cross-shaped silhouette, Yoru is almost a character in its own right. The detailing on the hilt, including the tightly bandaged grip and the oversized bead at the end, shows an incredible respect for the original design. It’s so well-crafted that you’ll find yourself just wanting to hold it for a moment and appreciate its sheer presence.
Alternate Display Options: Double the Coolness
Mihawk Ver.2 goes beyond being a static statue. You can switch between two awesome display poses: the iconic crossed arms stance that radiates superiority, or the weapon-holding stance, ready for battle. Each pose changes the figure’s entire vibe, offering dynamic ways to show off his character. And for an extra bonus, you can even remove his hat to reveal his spiky black hair—a rare sight even in the manga and anime! This small touch feels like a treasure hunt reward for true fans.
Conclusion: An Upgrade Worth the Blade
When you combine the improved sculpting, the display flexibility, and the insane attention to every tiny detail, Juracule Mihawk Ver.2 easily becomes one of the jewels of the P.O.P Neo DELUXE line. With the first Mihawk figure now a prized (and pricey) collectible, this newer version offers a perfect chance to own the strongest swordsman in his full glory—without sacrificing an ounce of quality. It’s a figure that doesn’t just sit on a shelf—it dominates it!
