Figure review time! In this review, we are going to take a look at Megahouse’s figure rendition of Princess Shirahoshi, a character from the long running anime and manga series, One Piece. I’m familiar with One Piece and its main characters, but honestly, I’m really outdated when it comes to the new characters (like Shirahoshi). Let’s get started!
The Princess Shirahoshi figure is a part of Megahouse’s P.O.P. figure line. P.O.P. is a an acronym for “Portrait Of Pirates” and this figure line had already released a bunch of figures based on the characters of the anime/manga series, One Piece. This is my very first P.O.P. figure.
Like what I’ve mentioned earlier, I’m familiar with the anime but not really a hardcore fan of it. I don’t even know who Princess Shirahoshi is! That’s how dumb I am for not watching or even reading the manga since most of my friends told me that the series is super awesome.
As a figure collector myself, I really don’t need to know the anime series before purchasing a figure. If a figure looks beautiful, I preorder/purchase it right away. Similar thing happened to this Shirahoshi figure, I really don’t know the character but I super love the figure! I’ll try my best to give you the background info of this character but I’m sure that most of you already know her (I think I’m the only one who doesn’t lols).
Whew! Another figure review done! I hope you enjoyed and liked the pictures in this review and I do hope it made it easier for you to decide when it comes to purchasing this figure in the future. Fan or not, this figure is a must have for figure collectors. I myself is not a fan of the entire One Piece series, but the moment I saw this figure, I was really impressed and preordered her right away.
If you have the budget and the item is still in stock, this figure rendition of Princess Shirahoshi is HIGHLY recommended!

Arrr the catch of the day =D
She’s so pretty *omg* and even sexy, the face looks especially well done, so kind and beautiful. I think the blues work very well with the pink hair.
I guess I prefer legs even though the fish fin is something unusual.
“I really don’t need to know the anime series before purchasing a figure.” same here, as long as they are appealing and have a good quality it is enough to justify a possible purchase.
When I know the character I have a tendency to be very picky ^^
@Wieselhead: Thanks Buddy! I’m really not a fan of One Piece’s art style but It all changed when I got this figure. Not really sure how Megahouse did it but she’s really really beautiful in this figure rendition! Do you also watch One Piece? I still have 478 episodes left hahahaha!
Great photography as always. I don’t own a Megahouse figure myself, but their quality seems up their with big names like GSC and ALTER.
@Baldwin: I agree sir! Years ago, Megahouse figures SUCKS. But today, they’re now on par with leading figure manufacturers like Alter and GSC. I hope they continue making great figures in the future.

Ah I see, well this figure is exceptionally pretty, I’ve never seen her in the show to be honest, maybe I’ll take a peek later.
I only know the dubbed One Piece which is airing in my country all the time. They show these very old episodes so I haven’t really followed it so far. I might like it with Japanese voices, but I also have to say that the animation style looks a bit strange, at least to me.
Its hard when you haven’t been following these long running shows from the start, I would like to watch Gintama someday, but it’s too long.
@Wieselhead: Same here hahaha! Not really sure if I can basically have the patience to watch all of the series’ episodes without getting bored. Well you know, fillers etc etc.
