After the timeskip he should be Eustass Adult.
Figuarts' One Piece line has received a
ton of criticism, and seeing video reviews of Luffy, Sanji and Zoro... yeesh! But I just couldn't resist getting my hands on
Eustass Kid, I just love the guy! He can't possibly be as terrible as Jin... could he?
He is not. For starters, you get four faceplates, four right hands, a stand and an
obnoxiously heavy cape. No, really, the cape is
heavier than the figure, and the figure is already larger than your average Figuarts! So good luck trying to stand him with it, might as well be an
useless accessory. It's not all bad news, the figure looks
incredibly, Tamashii captured his likeness
perfectly, and a lot of work went into him. The design of his pants is
sculpted onto the figure as are all his scars and musculature. And, to be
fair, I love how the cape was sculpted, it's just that it's too heavy for the figure itself.
While Jin was a bust, Jesus, this guy is
amazing. He has swivels on his arms and legs, has inverted butterfly-joints(They go
INTO his neck from the bottom to the top), has an ab crunch AND a waist swivel... and I haven't even gotten to the
best part...
His mechanical arm has INDIVIDUAL fingers that can BEND. The amount of fun stuff you can do with him is almost
endless, I've had as much fun posing him as I did with Makima.
My one caveat is that he has those ugly, slim Revoltech-like shoulder joints. It's not the nicest looking joint... but it's not too bad. He is taller than the Bucky Cap mold.
Honestly, this one goes right next to my
favorite Figuarts, heck, action figures in
general. Sure, the cape is pretty much useless, but, BUT, it's not like you need the cap for him to look good, now is it?
