The First BB Robin—And What a Debut!
It took a while, but 2016 finally kicked off with something truly hot: Nico Robin Ver.BB - P.O.P Limited Edition. After a quiet spell with no new P.O.P figures, this one dropped like a bombshell. As the second release in the BB line—and the very first BB take on Robin—it came to make a statement. And trust us, she’s not holding back.
This version of the Straw Hat archaeologist trades in her usual composed elegance for something far more daring. It’s certainly an exaggerated take on her canon look... but who's complaining?
Generous Curves by Inada Masaki
Sculpted by the legendary Inada Masaki, this figure embodies everything the BB series is known for: boldness, beauty, and unapologetically generous curves. Robin is given a dramatically voluptuous body—far beyond what we see in the anime or manga—but in terms of aesthetics, it’s undeniably stunning. “Excessive”? Maybe. Eye-catching? Absolutely.
The real showstopper is that vibrant blue bikini, tightly hugging her form, paired with a loose, oversized cotton-textured sweater that drapes over her shoulders. It’s just open enough to flaunt her impressive bust, and the gradient shading on the fabric gives it a surprising sense of realism. The all-blue palette? A perfect match for Robin’s cool, composed style—with a twist.
Ponytails and Attitude
Robin’s usual sleek hairdo gets a bold update here—double ponytails. It’s a playful choice that contrasts with her calm demeanor, and yet it somehow works. Add in her signature sunglasses resting casually on her head (yes, they’re removable), and you get a Robin who looks ready to relax... or ruin your life with a smirk.
She’s Got Back, Too
Let’s not pretend—we know this figure was sculpted to be admired from all angles. The back view delivers just as much impact as the front. From the sculpted detail of her hips to the subtle curve of her waist, it’s all been handled with care and craftsmanship. She’s seated in a relaxed position, but the pose oozes just enough attitude to make you question if you’re the one being studied.
A Welcome Addition to the BB Line
Up until now, most extra/limited figures leaned heavily on Nami (and the occasional Chopper). So finally getting a Robin in the mix felt long overdue—and this version doesn’t disappoint. Unlike some entries that can feel a bit generic, this one retains enough of Robin’s personality to still feel authentic. Sure, it’s got extra spice, but that’s what the BB line is all about.
For Robin fans, this is a must-have. For BB collectors, it’s a milestone. Either way, she earns her spot in the spotlight—and she does it with style.
