[ZOOM!] Marco ENCORE RESALE

Figure: Marco ENCORE RESALE - P.O.P MAS

The Blue Flames Return! MegaHouse P.O.P MAS Marco (Encore Resale) Takes Flight Again

The 1st Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates is back, and he is hotter than ever! When MegaHouse originally dropped the Portrait.Of.Pirates MAS (Motion Ability Statue) Marco, it instantly achieved legendary grail status among collectors. Released in April 2017 for an original retail price of ¥9,250, this highly anticipated Encore Resale edition gave fans another chance to grab one of the coolest Mythical Zoan statues ever produced. While it retains the phenomenal dynamic mold that put the MAS lineup on the map, this reissue brings an electrifying twist to the color palette that changes the entire visual vibe of the piece!

Kinetic Mastery: Sculpting the Mythical Zoan Mid-Shift

Just like our look at the first release, the overall sculpt here remains an absolute triumph of dynamic engineering. Marco is captured mid-air, caught right in the middle of unleashing the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix. His lean, ripped physique is carved to absolute perfection, showing off cut abdominal muscles, defined collarbones, and his signature Whitebeard Pirates chest tattoo emblazoned proudly across his sternum. His loose violet coat flutters backward with incredible weightlessness, capturing the wind resistance of flight. Up top, his pineapple-styled blond hair is sharply separated into defined spikes, perfectly framing that confident, nonchalant half-smirk that screams pure Marco coolness. The balance of human anatomy gracefully transforming into an avian beast is second to none.

The Ultimate Repaint Twist: Icy Blue Talons vs. Golden Claws

Now let us get into the headline feature that makes this Encore Resale unique: the paint overhaul on his phoenix legs! In the original first edition, Marco featured bright yellow, bird-like legs tipped with jet-black talons. For this Encore version, MegaHouse swapped out the yellow in favor of stunning anime-accurate icy blue scales fading into deep cerulean at the feet, finished off with crisp, gleaming white claws. This chromatic shift completely unifies the color scheme, seamlessly bridging his bird legs with the spiraling blue flames engulfing his limbs. It creates a much cooler, ethereal aesthetic that feels pulled directly out of the anime's Marineford scenes. Above his waist, the rich matte finish on his violet jacket and deep navy three-quarter trousers contrasts beautifully with the glossy translucent effects. The towering phoenix wing erupting from his right shoulder remains a show-stopping explosion of clear resin, graduating from deep sapphire blues into vibrant turquoise and fiery chartreuse tips, perfectly echoed by the flame licking up over his left eye.

Fiery Foundations: Base Design and Finishing Touches

To keep such a wildly top-heavy, asymmetrical sculpt securely airborne, the figure utilizes a brilliant integrated display system. Marco’s left talon is anchored straight into a swirling burst of translucent blue flame effects that doubles as an organic support column. This fiery geyser plugs firmly into a sleek, dark blue hexagonal base bearing the silver Portrait.Of.Pirates insignia. Even the smaller costume elements pop with incredible texture, particularly the metallic burnished gold rings lining his leather hip belt and the smooth sky-blue cloth wrapped loosely around his waist. Every detail works in tandem to ensure that despite the figure's intense verticality and wing span, it maintains absolute rock-solid stability in the cabinet.

Final Verdict: A Mythical Grail Worth Every Penny

Whether you missed the initial run or specifically prefer the unified blue-flame aesthetic over the original yellow talons, the MegaHouse P.O.P MAS Marco Encore Resale is an undeniable masterpiece. The color tweak gives his Mythical Zoan shift an undeniably mystical aura, making those giant translucent wings and blazing eye effects pop harder than ever before. It stands tall as one of the peak triumphs of the entire MAS line and an unmissable centerpiece for any serious One Piece figure collection!
