The BB Queen Returns—Now in Deep Blue
To mark two decades of P.O.P greatness, Nico Robin is back with a new repaint. The Ver.BB_02 20th Anniversary doesn’t just bring back one of the most unique BB sculpts—it gives it a sleek repaint that feels like a celebration in itself. If you missed the original pink version, this updated release is your chance to see Robin lounging like royalty, this time in a deep blue swimsuit that screams elegance.
Gravity-Defying Grace
This figure breaks the mold of the BB line by placing Robin flat on her back, a pose that instantly stands out among the standing and kneeling staples of the series. It’s playful, yet serene—her long legs gracefully extended, both hands resting gently on the base beside her. The curves are sculpted with a clear sense of natural weight and flow, especially in the way her hips press slightly into the mirrored surface. Speaking of which, the mirror base is a brand-new addition not present in the original version, offering a fresh viewing experience and doubling the visual appeal. It’s a subtle flex of anatomical realism and display creativity that sets this one apart.
Color That Speaks Sophistication
The new deep blue swimsuit isn’t just a palette swap—it transforms the figure’s mood. Where the original pink polka dots felt fun and flirty, this version leans into Robin’s mature, mysterious charm. The glossy finish on the swimsuit contrasts beautifully with her soft skin tone, and the silver accent on her sunglasses pop even more. It feels like a post-timeskip Robin moment, composed and confident.
Details That Elevate
Her facial expression is calm, intelligent, and quietly alluring—but let’s be honest, it doesn’t exactly scream “Nico Robin.” It’s a beautiful face, no doubt, but the likeness is a little off, especially for longtime fans who know Robin’s sharper features. Still, the sculptor Motoki Inada (HEPTA) nailed the proportions, and Taumokei’s paintwork enhances every delicate detail. Her flowing black hair spreads behind her like a silky fan, with slight wave details that keep it from feeling flat. And the mirrored base? It doubles the visual impact, letting you admire the pose and sculpt from every angle—literally.
A Rare Pose Worth Repeating
Most BB figures go for bold, upright stances or dramatic kneels, but this laid-back pose adds diversity to the line. It’s not overly showy, yet it exudes confidence—Robin doesn’t need to stand tall to make an impression. The way her limbs are posed keeps things elegant rather than exaggerated, which makes this figure appealing even to fans who don’t usually collect BBs.
For the Fans, By the Fans
This version’s color scheme was chosen by fans, and it shows. There’s something satisfying about knowing this wasn’t just a random repaint—it’s the result of genuine community love. And while some might roll their eyes at yet another BB rerelease, this one hits the sweet spot between collector nostalgia and visual refresh.
Final Thoughts: Robin’s Lounge Act
We’ve all had our fair share of BB figures—maybe even a bit too many—but every now and then, one comes along that feels like a breath of fresh air. This 20th Anniversary edition of Robin hits that sweet spot. It’s elegant, easy on the eyes, and a great reminder of what made the BB line fun in the first place. If you’ve still got room (and patience) for one more, this one’s worth laying down some shelf space.
