Hey pirates! Put on your shades because things are getting bright in here. We are talking about the man, the myth, the doughnut-loving legend himself: Portgas D. Ace! But this isn't just any Ace figure; this is the return of the heavy hitter. The Portrait.Of.Pirates "NEO-MAXIMUM" Portgas D. Ace 15th LIMITED Ver. is back, and MegaHouse isn't playing around. They’ve dubbed this the "Super Limited" reprint, and word on the Grand Line is that this is the final reprint announced for the MAXIMUM series. If you missed him before, this is your absolute last call to grab this fiery masterpiece!
A Box That Screams Heat
First things first, let's talk about the major update here. The big change for this "Super Limited" edition is the box art, and wow, does it pop! Looking at the new packaging, it’s decked out in a deep, intense red that matches Ace's Mera Mera no Mi powers perfectly. You’ve got that stunning gold foil text shimmering against the fiery background, giving it a truly premium, "limited" feel. The front showcases the figure in all its glory with dynamic flame graphics swirling around. It’s the kind of box you almost don't want to open... almost.
Same Heat, New Package
If you’ve been following the blog, you know we’ve already raved about the sculpting on this bad boy. The dynamic mid-air pose, the shredded muscle definition, and those insane translucent flame effects are identical to the original release. MegaHouse didn't mess with perfection here; the figure itself remains the definitive Ace. So, rest assured, you are getting the same top-tier quality PVC as the first run, just housed in a much flashier home.
The "Super Limited" Factor
So, aside from the stunning new red and gold box art, why is this release a big deal? It’s all about the "Super Limited" tag. For sealed collectors or those who display their boxes, this new packaging aesthetic is arguably way more striking and aggressive than the original, fitting the "Fire Fist" theme perfectly. It screams premium status and creates a nice distinction between the first edition and this revival.
Last Call for the Fire Fist
The most important detail about this drop is the stakes: MegaHouse has announced this as the final reprint from the MAXIMUM reprints line. That means this is likely your absolute last chance to grab this mold at retail price. But seriously, MegaHouse really needs to fulfill their promise this time. We love these figures, but reprinting "Limited Editions" endlessly kills the value of our collections! Let's hope this truly is the last time we see this box on shelves. If you missed the initial launch, this is your golden ticket—don't let your collection go cold!
