TOYS Bobbing Head One Piece S3 Gekko Moriah - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» In his prime fighting days when he was going to war alongside the Marines, Gekko Moria nevertheless had a pear-shaped body and probably had a body mass index of at least 45. At least. Gekko was once a member of the Shichibukai (Warlords of the Sea) who wielded great power and commanded minions. However, he's since been dismissed from the Shichibukai and has likely eaten himself into a BMI of at least 55. At least.

Despite Gekko's banishment from the Shichibukai, Japanese manufacturer Plex is inducting him into their "Bobbing Head" series of toys. The Gekko figure stands at attention at 14cm tall but if you bop him on the noggin, his head will undulate up and down for a few seconds before resting. Unlike other head-jiggling toys, Gekko's arms and wrists may be moved and twisted around and used to grip a pair of scissors. In the manga/anime, Gekko uses the scissors to snip the shadows from hapless victims which he uses to animate his zombie underlings. Preorders for the Gekko Moriah toy are welcome to ship in July 2010.
