Chibi-Arts Tony Tony Chopper
Looks like Bandai has announced that their next One Piece Chibi-Arts character to be released this year is Tony Tony Chopper!
I’m not sure why they’re giving us new Chopper when the current Chibi-Arts Luffy and Nami are still in their old outfits, but either way he’s still adorable. Aside from his sitting body and two extra face plates, it looks like Chopper will have a nice assortment of accessories, including his medical book, syringe, medicine mixing bowl, and his cotton candy.
Chopper is due to be release something in August and will be going for about ¥3,675 (roughly $37).

Congratulations to Trafalgar Law of One Piece for winning Pop GO’s second annual Fan Favorite tournament! Thanks to the votes of many readers and supporters, the War Lord was downright surgical throughout the tournament, effortlessly slicing through the competition. His path to glory culminated in the most lopsided victory in the entire tournament, as he sent The Doctor packing in his TARDIS back through time and space, earning him the title of ultimate Fan Favorite of 2012-2013.
Many thanks to our readers for enduring 48 character match-ups, 26 days and 5 rounds of voting, taking part in our little tournament and helping Pop GO crown another champion. Your participation has made the effort of the staff throughout the month worthwhile.
Until next year…The good of the people is the greatest Law!
Don’t forget to cast your vote for the Championship match-up — The Doctor (Doctor Who) vs. Trafalgar Law (One Piece) — before the poll closes tomorrow at 8 am PT.
Every little vote counts, so please help do your part to crown (or prevent from crown) this year’s Fan Favorite!

After 46 characters, 26 days and 4 rounds later, we’re finally down to the final 2: a Time Lord and a War Lord!
One is a famous television veteran of the geek world who had to work extra hard to win each match, the other is a notorious manga upstart from the otaku world who dominated every single opponent he faced. Both are two strong combatants with immense power. Both are sorta-but-not-really representatives of the medical field. Both have rabid fanbases. But only one will remain standing.
Who will be crowned 2013’s Fan Favorite: The Doctor or Trafalgar Law? Two days of voting will be allotted for this championship match-up, so help decide by voting after the break!

Don’t forget to cast your vote for the second Final 4 match-up — Joseph Joestar (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure) vs. Trafalgar Law (One Piece) — before the poll closes tomorrow at 8 am PT.
Every little vote counts, so please help do your part to send (or prevent from sending) the otaku character representative into the Championship!
Click here to vote now!
Today’s penultimate battle decides which final character will have the chance to fight for the title of Fan Favorite. And it’s only fitting that the final spot comes down to the only two characters who have dominated their opponents in every single round.
Despite not having used the family’s secret technique up to this point, Joseph Joestar has effectively managed to run away from the competition. On the same token, Trafalgar Law has separated himself so far from every competitor he’s faced, that no one has even come close to his spherical territory.
Who will be the one to represent the Otaku Bracket in the championship match? Help decide by voting after the break!

Our final Elite 8 match-up features a pair of manga powerhouses coming off dominating performances.
Saitama punched his ticket to the Elite 8 by knocking out his opponent before the chaos began, and Trafalgar Law proved pirates are better than ninjas when his devil fruit ability overpowered his opponent’s ninjutsu.
Who will be the fourth and final character to land in the Final 4? Help decide by voting after the break!
