Bandai Namco shared more details about the upcoming SH Figuarts Monkey D Luffy figure figure based on the Egghead Island Arc of the story. Currently, it has a May 2025 release window in Japan, and the Tamashii Nations official site confirms that is the launch window worldwide as well. It will also be shown at the Tamashii Nation 2024 event in Akihabara, Japan between November 15-17, 2024.
During the Egghead Island Arc, he wears a long, red jacket with white and yellow accents and the letters “SSG” on it to reference Dr. Vegapunk’s Special Science Group. He also has a headset on, his hat, and oversized boots. At the moment, the initial photos only show a number fo different hand parts will be available for different poses. It also looks like he may come with four face parts with different expressions. Bandai Namco already confirmed those will be compatible with past SH Figuarts figures of the character.
Here is the official announcement that also shows four photos of the in-progress figure.
We’re seeing a lot of Egghead Island Arc merchandise come up for One Piece, given the current progress in the anime and manga. Seiko is making a watch inspired by it, for example.
