Coming through the grandline are the pirate brothers Luffy and Ace. Produced by BanPresto, these two figures are stars in the Amusement Expo 2009 in Japan.

The main attraction of these figures are the details put into them, from the lines on the sinewy limbs to the patterns on their accessories and the masculinity that the sculptors manages to capture with this pair of siblings.

The tanned skin of Ace and Luffy are carefully brought out in different shades of paint. The texture of the white wash denim of Luffy's and the large pieces of jewelry that Ace wears are created and painted so realistically that they can fool your eyes.

By popular demand, two charismatic pirates are back, Ace and Luffy re-runs are available for:

One Piece The Grandline Men Vol.1 Pre-Painted Figure: Luffy (Re-run)	JPN		N/A
One Piece The Grandline Men Vol.1 Pre-Painted Figure: Portgas D. Ace (Re-run)	JPN		N/A

This is a hybrid of a game pad. The D pad is replaced by a joystick and the usual four buttons on the right now has six button. You can execute those moves in highspeed, provided that you have a strong, flexible thumb. You can set turbo function for all the buttons, at low, medium and high speeds, perfect for FPS lovers.

The pad comes in two colors, keep one for your own private use and leave the other color for public use when you invite your friends over for a party. Although these are perfect for fighters and shooters, you can use them for your RPGs and action games. Grip them in your hands and take over the (game) worlds.

The two new Hori game pads are available for:

Hori Pad EX Turbo 2 (Black)	US		N/A
Hori Pad EX Turbo 2 (Blue)	US		N/A
