Modeling writer Asakuma Toshio interview harboring the soul of the character to the animals
The animals have become the characters of "One Piece"! ?
Facial expressions and gestures while comical, its modeling, texture is realistic ......
Meanwhile, no one figure series that did not imagine
It is "FiguartsZERO Artist Special".
"One Piece" original author Eiichiro Oda and anthropomorphic animal figures
I was born in collaboration with the famous modeling writer Asakuma Toshio Mr.
"Artist Special" is, in the large-scale model of about 20 ~ 30cm
Following the series expansion, easy is now collected in a compact
New series one after another in the line-up of about 10 ~ 15cm size.

So, while Mr. Asakuma looked back on these new and old lineups, he talked about his commitment to animal modeling and his commitment to One Piece characters.
- Are you on how the concept of animals of each character?
Especially impressive ones and, if such an episode of the Oda sensei, please tell us, including a few examples.
I've always been a fan of One Piece, so I thought I'd like to make the crew into animals, so I decided on an animal to some extent.
When I received the invitation of collaboration from Mr. Oda is, It was another happy to come true that I had imagined.

Is when the first of the gang of production will be provided with a meeting with Mr. Oda, went decided to consult from unbiased I was thinking animal.
Troubled have been Usopp (chameleon), was determined to stunning at the suggestion of Oda's.
Robin image of How can bird was considered in the panther, and the thing to falcon in.
This is also It was tried Once satisfied that "aha" to make, I think that it was good because I could have shed Kurohyo later ace.
Frankie, rhino is good to out to work I decided to start gorilla! Was the immediate answer and "It is a rhinoceros Speaking of armed" contact the place to Oda's thought.
   
I asked to leave for a little bit after the character.
For some reason, it's easy for me to think of an animal as a character in One Piece, and so far I haven't had any trouble deciding which animal to choose.
Almost, it has been produced in the first to float's animal.
- In that animal of up to now, please tell me a fondness character (favorite character).
Brook is the minute you have a hard time it takes even the most time, I like.
White beard and ace is rice also the meaning of the memorial, went into considerable feeling.
   
MONKEY.D.LUFFY as Monkey released in July, new sizes have been adopted, but how about it?
 
  Collected I think that it is a good size to align with.
Labor itself of production does not change, but it is good that the scale is easy to reproduce between the characters.
White beard is what was very too large. (Lol)
After production this time of Luffy, it was interesting and quite scale the match and align with this white beard.
New and old contrast image
- Please tell us a commitment point of Don Quixote de Flamingo as flamingo and Shanks as Lion.
Don Quixote de Flamingo as Flamingo

Anyway, evil seems to!
Although wings was Ru's is very work, is the sunglasses of the most obsessed with.
I think that it has become quite Rashiku Doflamingo in sunglasses and tongue.

  Shanks as Lion

We try to be the stately standing figure.
Also in that respect Lion was the best.

――In making One Piece characters into animals, is there anything in particular that you are conscious of in regards to modeling rather than your own original work, Mr. Asakuma?
Usually a lot to make a carefree animals, also from Oda's, but it's also what was said, "It is Luffy monkey may be something like sipping a cup of tea in the Table in", in this series aims to sportiness you.
In particular, in the expression to consciousness, it will be similar to the considerably character in the inner end of eyebrow and eye.
- Is there a character you want to try to future animal of?
I have a lot, but ...
By force is a buggy to name.
I want to make right away, but looking forward to the re-emergence of become more flashy plays a Nanabuumi entering.
Nanabuumi is I want to align all!
- Finally, do you have a message to the user of everyone.
The concept of this series is that the animals are borrowing the character's costumes and playing one piece, just like you drew in the One Piece.
Because so it is not to fight weapons are expressed, such as a tree.
If you enjoy the way animals are fully made to cosplay hard, and I think.
