Monkey D. Luffy - The Character

Captain of the Pirates of Straw Hat, known as "Straw Hat Luffy", grew up in the village of Foosha with his brother Ace. As a child he met the great pirate Shanks and set sail to fulfill his promise to find him, return his hat and become the Pirate King. After the Barbabiaca War, Luffy trained with Rayleigh to learn how to use ambition; however, like anyone who has eaten the Devil Fruit, he is unable to swim. He loves meat, which helps him recover very quickly after a fight, thanks to the particular rubber metabolism.

The Gear 4 is another level of the Gear. Luffy, blowing air into his muscles, grows bigger and fights while being empowered by the Ambition of the armor. In particular, it is the arms and torso that are strengthened, increasing the elasticity of the inside of the body which allows it to move by bouncing.

Monkey D. Luffy Bandai Event Exclusive

For some years now the graphic layout has been identical both for the two statues and for the whole line of Event Exclusive Color Edition, which is characterized by a completely black backdrop with white writings and the silhouette of the character used in a contrasting color. The color used in this case is red which recalls the protagonist's shirt. As always, on the front there is a transparent part that lets you see what is inside. Once the box has been opened and the blister removed, we find a very simple plastic film to remove, which has the function of preserving the product and the most delicate parts from any accidental damage. Once the film has been removed, you will not have to do anything more, because the statue is ready to be exhibited and is already fixed, thanks to the small joints adopted, to the hexagonal-shaped base. We would like to clarify that the base is not essential for display purposes, because the effects of the statue themselves balance it and support it without needing anything, in prati everything ends with your personal choice.

This statue is presented in a truly dynamic pose, showing the pirate as he is about to unleash one of his deadliest blows, namely the “Leo Bazooka”. Luffy develops a height of about 18 cm and is entirely made of PVC. His face is very faithful to the original character design, the pirate is depicted in an attack pose with an angry look, while he is about to hit his opponent with this deadly attack. The smoke that also acts as a support base, in this version was made of yellow plastic with orange shades, in order to emphasize the dynamic pose more. The figure is well detailed, the physical features are reproduced with particular detail highlighting the anatomical part of the thoracic musculature, immortalized during the transformation resulting from the powers of the Devil's Fruit. In Luffy's face there is the care and detail given by the sculptors to highlight his aggression combined with his devastating anger towards the enemy. Among other things, we must be very careful to handle the statue with care precisely because it is very pointed at several ends.
