■ The trio don their Onigashima battle costumes to raid S.H.Figuarts!
Three characters from "One Piece" come to the S.H.Figuarts series, which combines technologies in modeling, movability, and coloring in the pursuit of recreating faithful character expressions through humanlike movements.
This time we highlight S.H.Figuarts MONKEY.D.LUFFY -The Raid on Onigashima-
(released in August 2023), S.H.Figuarts RORONOA ZORO -The Raid on Onigashima- (released in September 2023), and S.H.Figuarts SANJI -The Raid on Onigashima- (released in October 2023)!
This is the first time that "One Piece" characters have been released from S.H.Figuarts brand since 2010! With that in mind, we want to highlight this trio of figures that have been made with the technology cultivated over the last 10-plus years!
*The images displayed in the article are of colored prototypes. They may differ from the actual product.
*Each of the three characters are sold separately. In addition, the posing on display in some images may require a separately sold stand (such as TAMASHII STAGE).
All three figures appear in costumes from the TV anime's currently airing Wano Country Saga and Raid on Onigashima arcs!
The fierce battle the three took part in on Onigashima really comes to life, doesn't it?
■ A wide range of poses are possible with the additional joints!
As S.H.Figuarts is a brand of movable figures, they are natually all about mobility!
The three characters introduced here incorporate new technology into their movable parts, allowing them to make poses more faithful than ever to how they look in "One Piece."
Let's look at the shoulder joint first. This compound joint allows you to recreate poses with the arms held out in front of the body!
If you look at SANJI in the image below, it's easy to see the compound joint with his arm out in front of his body.
Next is the abdominal joint. Putting a joint mechanism in the abdomen makes it possible to assume poses leaning forward.
Can you see the joints in LUFFY's abdomen?
Also, check out LUFFY's feet in this next image.
His sandals can move independently of his feet, allowing him to make more Luffy-like dynamic poses!
Of course, the other joints also have a wide range of motion and can be moved freely, just like past S.H.Figuarts products!
This makes it possible to pose each character to look like they jumped out of the anime!
Reproduce the various expressions of Luffy and his crew!
A wealth of facial expression parts are also included so you can show off the high range of emotions typical of "One Piece"!
LUFFY comes with a standard face, an open-mouthed smile, a clenched jaw, and a surprised face.
ZORO comes with a standard face, a grinning face, a yelling face, and an astonished face.
...And of course, ZORO also comes with a face wearing a bandana with a sword clenched in his teeth.
SANJI has a normal face, a grinning face, a screaming face, a surprised face, and...
...SANJI's familiar lovey-dovey face with heart-shaped eyes is included too!
The ZORO figure comes with LUFFY's shocked face (pictured below, on the left), and the SANJI figure comes with LUFFY's drooling face as bonus parts.
With a rich lineup of facial expression parts, you can enjoy recreating various situations and come up with your own! For example...
LUFFY, ZORO, and SANJI are all surprised! Or...
...you can also create unique scenes, such as the one above with an adoring SANJI celebrating while LUFFY and ZORO watch him quietly. We hope that fans will collect all three for maximum fun!
■ Recreate powerful action scenes!
Naturally, part of the appeal of "One Piece" is watching each character using their abilities in impressive action sequences!
Of course, all three figures come with interchangeable hands to recreate various poses. ZORO also comes with three swords, and SANJI comes with an effect for his Diable Jambe attack.
Here are some pictures recreating some of their most impactful action scenes!
So, what do you think?
We hope we gave you a good taste of the bold and dynamic poses these three figures can make!
You could say that these three figures are a long awaited S.H.Figuarts release. They're must-haves for both those who have always wanted a "One Piece" movable figure, as well as for fans of the series who have yet to experience S.H.Figuarts!
