Portrait of Pirates Neo-EX Carue - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» When princess Nefertari Vivi joined the Straw Hat Pirates for a short spell in the Baroque Works Saga, she brought along her pet duck named Carue. Despite the bird's goofy appearance and demeanor, Carue nevertheless proves himself useful and even saves his mistress from danger in Arabasta. Prior to Carue's One Piece Portrait of Pirates turn, the only other animal featured in the popular toy model series has been Chopper. So, it's a vote of confidence on the part of the manufacturer Megahouse to produce another POP animal toy.

Carue is sculpted to 1/8 scale and measures 18cm or 7.08" in height. A barrel of beverage is slung around the duck's neck and a bendable straw protrudes from the top of the container. Duckie also wears an aviator's helmet with goggles on top of its head while an aqua-colored seat is tied to its back. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late March 2008 at JPY5040 or US$58.90 from NCS.
