posted on by Egan Loo
Some diligent animators took Banpresto's "One Piece Cry heart ~Fuyujima ni Furu Sakura~) (One Piece Cry heart ~The Cherry Blossoms That Fall on Winter Island~) line of crane game prize figures and created a five-minute stop-motion short last month. The "One Piece: Cry heart~" short recreates the famous "Hiluluk's Cherry Blossoms" scene from Eiichiro Oda's manga and anime:
Unlike most figures, Banpresto's "Cry heart" figures is deliberately designed to encourage people to create their own stop-motion shorts. The figures come with multiple faces and flexible joints, and fans can use them to create animation with smartphone apps or other means. The first set of the figures will arrive in Japan in the second week of March, and the second set will arrive in the third week.
