A Dereshi Worth Repeating: Nico Robin's Most Heartbreaking Smile

It's been a while since the last review, and what better way to jump back in than with a reissue of one of the rarest and most emotionally charged figures in the P.O.P lineup—Nico Robin Ver. Dereshi! First released in 2009, this petite portrayal of Robin as a child became an elusive gem among collectors. Thankfully, MegaHouse brought it back in 2014 to celebrate the Megahobby EXPO, giving fans another chance to snag this tender, powerful piece of One Piece history.

Pure Nostalgia in a Purple Dress

The sculpt captures a moment straight out of Robin's heartbreaking backstory—when Jaguar D. Saul told her to smile through the pain. She’s crouched down low, hands delicately placed, eyes wide and innocent. Her purple dress drapes softly around her small frame, with sculpted folds that add a gentle sense of motion and depth. The color palette is soft but not dull, and the glossy finish on her shoes adds a sweet touch of realism. It’s subtle, but incredibly effective in grounding the character in her vulnerable childhood form.

Two Faces, One Tearjerker

Robin comes with two expressions, and both are must-display worthy. The standard face is gentle and solemn, but it’s the “Dereshi” smile that steals the spotlight. That forced, quirky grin carries so much emotional weight—especially if you know the context. The sculptor didn’t just give us a funny alternate face; they captured a whole story in a single smirk. It’s the kind of detail that elevates a small figure into something unforgettable.

Tiny Figure, Big Impact

There’s a peek of her underwear due to the pose, which may raise some eyebrows, but it's clearly intended to mirror her childlike vulnerability rather than be provocative. Her posture and scale are absolutely on point; she looks appropriately small next to adult figures, making her a perfect pairing piece for fans who love displaying narrative-driven setups.

Conclusion: Cute, Sad, and Totally Essential

This figure may be simple on paper—no flashy base, no extravagant effects—but the emotional value is off the charts. It’s a powerful visual cue from one of the darkest yet most formative chapters in Nico Robin’s life. Whether you're a completionist, a CB collector, or just someone who loves Robin's character arc, this one's a must-have. It's not just about the pose or outfit—it's about the story behind that little “Dereshi.”
