Sanji Goes for Full Sex Appeal in Ab-Revealing Figure

Anime News Network's merchandise coverage sponsored by Tokyo Otaku Mode.

Move over Nami and Robin, a new, brooding Sanji figure is upping the sex appeal ante.

The Portrait of Pirates (P.O.P.) line of figures is adding a new acronym, "SOC." The SOC series celebrates the 12th anniversary of the P.O.P. figure line and will focus specifically on characters sitting in chairs and Sanji is kicking it off on April 1 by sitting in a leather chair in low-rise pants and an open jacket.

Premium Bandai will begin accepting pre-orders on April 1 for 12,528 yen (US$111.50).

Manga creator Eiichiro Oda said that 2016 would be the "Year of Sanji." He started it off early by revealing the character's full name.
