Figure: Nefertari Vivi - P.O.P Playback Memories

Vivi Dances Again! Playback Memories Brings the Heat!

It's about time our favorite desert princess returned in her most iconic look! The "Playback Memories" line continues to deliver nostalgic gold, and this time it brings us a version of Nefertari Vivi that fans have been waiting for since the Alabasta arc first aired. Sculpted by Kibayashi Norio, the same master behind Vivi’s legendary 2005 figure, and painted by Taumokei, this piece is a brilliant blend of elegance, dynamism, and just the right dose of fan service. Let’s dive into the beauty of this dancer’s revival!

The Return of the Belly Dancer Outfit

This isn’t just any Vivi—this is the Vivi who captivated the audience as a performer in Nanohana, gathering intel while dazzling with every move. Her dancer outfit makes a stunning comeback, loaded with rich color and attention to detail. The flowing lavender skirt is semi-translucent and gorgeously sculpted to give a sense of movement, as if caught mid-twirl. Her pink-and-gold top is dazzling with intricate patterns and delicate fringe that hangs just right, accentuating her midriff without going overboard. Everything about this outfit screams “classic Vivi,” and it’s a total win for fans of that unforgettable arc.

Sculpting That Shines with Every Spin

Kibayashi Norio proves again that no one sculpts Vivi quite like he does. From the way her hips are slightly twisted to the arch of her back and the raised arm holding her veil, this pose captures both elegance and attitude. There’s a real sense of performance here—it feels like Vivi is dancing for her life and her kingdom. Her limbs are slender and graceful, with natural curves and balanced proportions that look even better from every angle.

Colors That Pop Like an Alabasta Sunset

Taumokei's paintwork brings this figure to life. The golden details shimmer under light, while the pastel tones of her veil and skirt create a soft contrast that feels totally Alabasta. The jewels on her outfit, especially the bright blue and red stones, pop beautifully and don’t get lost among the fabric folds. Her skin tone is smooth and warm, giving her a lively glow that matches her expression. This is a figure that shines with warmth and energy, perfect for brightening up any shelf.

That Gorgeous Face

Vivi’s smile here is something else—it’s gentle, confident, and filled with that same spirit she showed while fighting for her people. Her big, expressive eyes have a shimmer that gives the figure a lively emotional edge, while her iconic blue hair flows down her back in soft waves, pinned with those trademark red ornaments. Everything works together to bring back the feeling of her time with the Straw Hats, full of courage and kindness.

Verdict: The Belly Dancer Vivi We've Been Waiting For

Megahouse absolutely nailed this one. From the flowing movement of her pose to the detailed textures of her costume, this figure is pure Playback perfection. It doesn’t just remind us of one of Vivi’s greatest moments—it enhances it, turning a treasured memory into a centerpiece collectible. Whether you're an Alabasta arc fan, a Vivi devotee, or just a collector who loves dynamic female figures, this is one you won’t want to miss.

One Last Thought...

If we ever get a matching Nami from this scene, it might just break the internet. Until then, this Vivi is more than enough to steal the spotlight... and maybe a few hearts too.
