From Dream to Reality: Nami’s 1/4 Swimsuit Figure Revealed
Remember that mysterious Jump Festa poster—the one that sent collectors spinning with theories about a P.O.P x B-Style crossover? Well, the curtain’s finally lifted. The 1/4 scale Nami Swimsuit Ver. has been officially unveiled, and here’s the twist: it’s not a Portrait of Pirates figure anymore. MegaHouse has removed the P.O.P label entirely, leaving this as a pure B-Style release in collaboration with FREEing. So that legendary 42cm P.O.P dream? Consider it shelved.
Preorders, Scale, and Details
Preorders open on September 5, 2025, at 13:00, with the figure scheduled to ship in March 2026. At approximately 380mm tall, Nami makes her entrance in B-Style’s signature swimsuit treatment, and the scale alone guarantees she’ll dominate any display. Her playful smile, sculpted hair, and confident posture feel larger than life—turning that poster tease into an actual centerpiece.
Craftsmanship That Shines
This isn’t just about size—it’s about detail. The log pose on her left arm is made with clear parts that give it a glossy, crystalline effect, while her skin texture feels carefully polished to avoid the “plastic” look big figures sometimes suffer from. Sculptor Quell and painter Nakano Figure School (Fukui) clearly poured work into balancing realism with Nami’s iconic anime charm.
The Big Shift: No More P.O.P Label
For those who were anxious about having to add a bikini-clad giant to their P.O.P shelves, here’s the good news: you don’t have to. This release is officially outside the Portrait of Pirates family, standing on its own as a B-Style showpiece. For P.O.P completists, that’s a sigh of relief. For Nami fans? It’s a grail-sized temptation. Either way, the “P.O.P 20th anniversary giant” we imagined from the poster turned out to be just that—imagination.
Final Thoughts
The journey from a single glossy silhouette at Jump Festa to this full announcement has been wild. What started as a mysterious tease with the P.O.P logo ended as a bold, standalone B-Style release. So, is this the figure to crown your collection, or just a beautiful detour outside the P.O.P world? One thing’s certain—Nami’s 1/4 scale Swimsuit Ver. is real, it’s huge, and it’s not to be ignored.
