MG FIGURE-RISE 1/8 Barnaby・Brooks Jr. (Prototype Suit

Barnaby Brooks Jr. (バーナビー・ブルックスJr.) is a rookie hero who does not conceal his identity and the newest addition to Hero TV. Partnered with and possessing the same power as Wild Tiger, he relies more on strategy than force. He is liked by many people as he is cool and handsome and is currently the top hero, with the title "King of Heroes."

This is the hero suit Barnaby wears in the first episode, prior to being officially introduced as a hero. Predominantly gray and black, it has no sponsor logos but instead features white barcodes on the arms and across the chest (the spots where Barnaby's usual suit has sponsor logos). The numbers and letters beneath the chest barcode read 199808J0 HS20030106 AP156984236. The two flaps in back serve as small booster packs, which provide Barnaby some maneuverability in the air even without his powers activated.

S.H.Figuarts Cell (Perfect Form)

Cell (セル, Seru) is one of the major supervillains of the Dragon Ball manga and the Dragon Ball Z anime, and is the ultimate creation of Dr. Gero, designed to have all the abilities of the greatest fighters to have ever inhabited or visited Earth. The result is a "perfect warrior", possessing numerous favorable genetic traits and special abilities. Cell is the only Red Ribbon "Android" to not have the Red Ribbon insignia on him. He is also one of the few Androids not directly created by Dr. Gero; the others are Android 13, Android 14, Android 15, and possibly Android 8. Both Cell and Androids 13, 14 and 15's conceptions involved Dr. Gero's Super Computer.

Cell's personality changes drastically throughout the Androids Arc. He is unique among most villains of the series in that he is quite sophisticated. As his evolution proceeds, he can be observed as having a more patient and calculating approach towards his goals. Because of his genetic composition from other warriors, he is able to psychologically manipulate those warriors and exploit their weaknesses to his advantage.

Cell is composed of cells from Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, Frieza, King Cold, and according to the manga title page, a number of other lifeforms (in the FUNimation dub, it is also stated that he has cells from Krillin, Gohan, Nappa, and Tien Shinhan). He also possesses information on Nappa, Raditz, Gohan, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Krillin, Yamcha, and Future Trunks that is collected by Dr. Gero's remote tracking device and stocked in the Super Computer. Cell is therefore able to use their attacks (ex. Kamehameha, Regeneration etc.).

P.O.P One Piece "LIMITED EDITION" Nico Robin Repaint Ver

Nico Robin is the archaeologist of the Straw Hat Pirates. She is originally introduced as the Vice President of Baroque Works known as Miss All Sunday before joining up with the Straw Hats. She is the seventh member of the crew, the sixth to join, and (including Nami), is also the second to rejoin, doing so near the end of the Enies Lobby Arc. Robin is also the first member to have been a former antagonist. She ate the Hana Hana no Mi

Nico Robin is a tall, slender, yet athletic woman with shoulder length black hair. Her eyes are blue in the anime with dark, wide pupils (brown eyes in the manga and the 10th movie), and she has a long, thin and defined nose. In the anime, Robin's skin tone is slightly darker unlike in manga coloured artworks where it is lighter. Robin also resembles her mother greatly, with the exception of her hair color and style as well as having slightly darker skin tone than her. Robin's limbs are very long, especially her legs, contributing greatly to both her fighting capabilities (given the nature of her powers) and overall height, and like most female characters in the series, she has a narrow waist. Many people consider her to be very attractive or beautiful.

She has no trademark look like the others, though her all-purple cowgirl look from when she was first introduced is often associated as her trademark look. Like Nami, she seems to be fond of revealing outfits, as she is frequently wearing somewhat revealing clothing that are either dark in color (often black or purple) or consists of leather (sometimes both). She is also fond of high heels, and they do not seem to affect the way she walks or her speed.

Robin sometimes wears a gold arm band with white strings attached to it and the letter N on it, which stands for her family name, and also had a similar one with BW on it, which stood for Baroque Works, but she no longer wears it as she is no longer affiliated with the group; she has also worn a cowgirl hat on numerous occasions.

After the two year timeskip, Robin's hair has grown longer, down to her lower back and is pulled back, revealing more of her forehead and ears. Her outfit after the timeskip now consists of a long pink sari-like skirt with a partially-zipped purple leather vest with a V-neck line similar to Boa Hancock's and a white rose printed on the left breast near the shoulder, sunglasses, pink high heeled pumps, and a pink backpack. She wears sunglasses which she hangs on her forehead and is seen wearing them during the battle with the New Fishman Pirates in the Gyoncorde Plaza. Like Nami, her breasts have gotten larger. In the anime, her skin is much lighter in color after the timeskip. This skin tone is much closer to what her skin tone has always been in the manga.

Figuarts ZERO Huang Paolin


Pao-Lin Huang, also known as Dragon Kid, is a young Kung Fu fighter armed with a staff and able to produce lightning. Her Chinese-styled uniform includes advertising for Japanese food company Calbee and Japanese website DMM.com.For the time being, it seems she is in the care of a trusted adult while she is away from her parents, and that same trusted adult often scolds her for not being more feminine. Dragon Kid often chooses not to be girly and at other times seems insecure about it as well (episode 13). She seems to have some trouble understanding her parents' feelings, and recently with the help of Wild Tiger she understood why her parents gave her such a girly hair clip.

Dragon Kid is an adept martial artist and skilled staff fighter. She is able to generate and control electricity. She has been seen electrucuting criminals through direct contact, through a conducter such as the metal of a car, and through her staff which is is presumably metal as well.

Robot Damashii: Code Geass - Guren Seiten

The Guren now uses the Energy Wing similar to that of the Lancelot Albion, but with four energy "feathers" instead of three. The wings can also serve as Cutting Weapons, Shielding Weapons and Ranged Weapon. The system allows the Guren to move at blinding speeds, such that it appears to be little more than a purple blur in flight. Its radiant wave surger arm has gold highlights on the fingers and forearm, and has been upgraded significantly. It can be fired like a Slash Harken, and has a Harken Booster for controlled flight and can be a sharp Battering Ram Like Drill. The arm still functions when launched as such. Its original functions are retained and far more potent: the ordinary radiation burst can block a Hadron Cannon blast with seemingly no effort and the hand can crush energy shielding without the aid of the emitter. It is also capable of firing disk-like radiation projectile. The Guren's fork knife is also upgraded, having been retrofitted with MVS capability and made about twice as long. Its MVS (which is colored purple as opposed to the usual red) is evidently more potent than normal versions, as it can cut through the Lancelot Conquista's MVS swords.
Additional armor is also present on the knees and ankles. The antennae have been extended and enlarged, making them appear to be giant ears. Its chest is completely different, with the orange part extended further and a pair of green jewels featured prominently on the front. Its namesake comes from its operation system, which is Superlative Extruder Interlocked Technology Exclusive Nexus (S.E.I.T.E.N.) Eight 

Elements. It also is equipped with two Slash Harkens attached to its shoulders.
