Unlike the other Figures, this one is bubble wrapped twice as the usual.
And for the record, this figure has the most separate parts.
That's why you will have this paper of instruction for assembling.

Each are sealed inside their respective plastic.
While the swords are covered with a card board.

Here you can see the parts separates to the figure itself.

This time the figure is heavy on the lower part maybe because of the thick  dress.
There is still pegs under its feet.

Belt

Left Arm with the Bandanna.

Wado Ichimonji (The One Road of Harmony)
This is the sword he puts in his mouth when using his 3-sword-style (Santoryu)

Sandai Kitetsu (Third Generation Demon-Splitter)
This sword has a curse which caused all the previous owners to fall to tragic deaths.

Shusui (Autumn Water)
The black named blade that once sat at the waist of a legendary samurai, Ryuma.

Base

Assemble Instruction Manual.

Zoro looks great here, though he looks too old in this figure.

Each swords has pegs on it to which are inserted on Zoro's waist.

I don't like the weathering on the Boots.

The stitches on his Eye and Body is nicely done. 

The belt seems not secured after you have put the swords. 

The creases on his sleeves is nicely detailed.

Even the swords sheath's are highly detailed .

So far, so good for Banpresto. They have been successfully creating this figures into its perfection. I recommend this figure to all One Piece fans. This one is a great catch if you will buy it. Though, I have to say this again and again. The base sucks, please change it to more decent look and with designs.

That's it for now. More figure reviews to go. I hope you liked it. Thank you for viewing.
