The Pirate Empress Returns in Stunning Purple
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the P.O.P. ONE PIECE line, the gorgeous Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock, makes a dazzling return! Following Nami in the Bathing Beauty line, this special limited edition color won the fan-voted "Transform Me Again" poll. It perfectly captures Hancock's alluring charm in a beautifully repainted swimsuit inspired by her iconic series outfits.
Sculpting a Masterpiece
Sculptor Inada Masaki has truly delivered a 135mm tall masterpiece that demands attention. Releasing in January 2025 for 16500 Yen, this figure perfectly captures Hancock posed elegantly sitting down, leaning back slightly with her legs gracefully crossed. Her left hand delicately plays with the thin strap of her bikini top, while her right hand rests on the ground behind her, supporting her relaxed yet striking posture. Her expression is wonderfully captivating, featuring a soft, confident smile with a light blush on her cheeks, and beautifully detailed blue eyes that draw you right in. Her signature long black hair flows seamlessly down her back, spreading gently across her right arm and adding a fantastic sense of volume to the sculpt. The attention to detail extends all the way down to her beautifully painted purple fingernails and toenails, which perfectly match her outfit.
Metallic Kuja Aesthetics
Since this is a stunning repaint of the original Ver.BB_EX release, the absolute star of the show is the incredible new colorway. Hancock is wearing a tiny, deep metallic purple bikini that shimmers beautifully under the light. The right cup of the top is proudly adorned with the Kuja Pirates skull emblem in a contrasting tone, adding a fantastic exclusive touch to the design. The thick, golden snake earrings dangle elegantly from her ears, providing a gorgeous contrast against her dark hair and the purple swimwear.
A Base That Reflects Her Beauty
To elevate the display experience, she sits on a special oval mirror base framed by a thick, metallic purple rim. This reflective base is incredibly fun and perfectly suits the Bathing Beauty theme. Not only does it add a premium feel to the overall presentation, but it also allows you to appreciate the meticulous sculpting and her gorgeous, soft curves from some very cheeky, alluring angles without ever having to pick the figure up. The reflection gives you a dangerously teasing view that makes this Bathing Beauty release truly unforgettable.
Final Thoughts on the 20th Anniversary Empress
Wrapping things up, this P.O.P Limited Edition Bathing Beauty Shichibukai is an absolutely stunning piece, but it comes with a catch. This figure is a must-have only if you don't already own the original red version. If you missed out the first time, this gorgeous metallic purple Ver.BB_EX is the perfect opportunity to add the Pirate Empress to your collection and celebrate the Portrait of Pirates legacy!
