Step into the New World with Monkey D. Luffy as portrayed in the ONE PIECE television anime, brought to collectors through the highly articulated S.H.Figuarts action figure series. This Monkey D. Luffy -New World- release captures Luffy's post-timeskip appearance with his signature red open jacket, blue shorts with fur-trimmed cuffs, yellow sash, straw hat, and sandals. Standing approximately 145 mm (5.7 inches) tall, the figure is designed around the expressive posing and character recreation that S.H.Figuarts collectors expect from Bandai Spirits.
What makes this Luffy particularly interesting is its emphasis on range of motion. The figure incorporates an advanced articulation system, including the Japanese patent-pending "Retract-Flex Joint", which allows the thigh area to retract when the knees are bent. Combined with carefully engineered soft parts, this construction helps preserve Luffy's distinctive silhouette while allowing more natural crouching, kicking, jumping and combat poses. With interchangeable facial expressions, wrist parts and hair components, collectors can recreate a variety of Luffy's recognizable expressions and action stances from the New World era.
Luffy's New World appearance is one of the most recognizable stages of his character design, and this S.H.Figuarts release is built around the physicality that defines his fighting style. His open red jacket, loose blue shorts and flowing yellow sash give the character a naturally dynamic silhouette, while the articulation system allows the figure to move considerably beyond a conventional standing pose.
The Retract-Flex Joint is an important part of the figure's engineering. Traditional articulated figures can sometimes lose natural proportions when the knees are heavily bent because the thigh area has to accommodate the joint mechanism. This design addresses that issue by allowing part of the thigh structure to retract as the knee bends. The result is greater flexibility for deep knee bends and action poses while helping retain the visual proportions of Luffy's legs.
The use of soft parts is equally important for an expressive Luffy display. Rather than restricting the figure's movement around areas of the costume, the construction allows the outfit to work with the articulation. This is especially useful when recreating the exaggerated movement associated with Luffy's combat scenes.
Luffy's personality is central to ONE PIECE, so facial expression is just as important as physical articulation. The set includes three interchangeable face parts, giving collectors the ability to change the character's expression depending on the desired display.
The included four types of interchangeable left and right wrist parts further expand the figure's posing options. Different hand configurations can be used to create relaxed poses, action-ready stances and expressive gestures.
The interchangeable hair parts work alongside the facial components to maintain a cohesive appearance when changing Luffy's expression. Together, these accessories make the figure considerably more versatile than a single-pose representation of the character.
For collectors, this means the same figure can occupy several different roles within a display: a relaxed Straw Hat captain, an action-ready fighter, a running or jumping Luffy, or a dramatic combat pose inspired by the New World story arcs.
This release is particularly well suited to collectors who enjoy action-oriented anime displays. Luffy's distinctive New World costume already creates a strong visual silhouette, while the articulation engineering allows the figure to be positioned in ways that communicate movement and personality.
The approximately 5.7-inch scale also makes the figure practical for display alongside other S.H.Figuarts releases. Collectors can build a Straw Hat Pirates display, create a dedicated Luffy collection covering different eras of the character, or combine the figure with other ONE PIECE action figures for a larger anime shelf.
The combination of character-specific sculpting, interchangeable expressions, multiple wrist configurations, flexible costume elements and advanced leg articulation makes this a release aimed at collectors who want to actively pose their figures rather than simply display them in a neutral stance.
For fans of ONE PIECE, this S.H.Figuarts Monkey D. Luffy -New World- captures an important stage in the character's journey while retaining the expressive, highly articulated approach that has made the S.H.Figuarts line popular among anime figure collectors.
