About this One Piece figure
This is Monkey D. Luffy Gear 5 (Special Edition), out of the One Piece roster, released under the Grandista line. It stands about 9.8 in. It arrives finished: one static pose, no joints to set, no parts to glue, just the figure and the base it locks onto.

Looking after it
Two things shorten a prize figure's life: a sunny shelf and a damp cloth. Keep it shaded, and when dust settles use a dry make-up brush — cloth fibres hook on sculpted hair and fingers and take them off.
Where this Banpresto figure sits in the hall
On the One Piece shelf this is the 3rd dearest of 176 Banpresto figures, and the shelf as a whole runs $11 to $91. For scale, the deepest shelf in the hall is Dragon Ball with 115 collectable figures on it; a Dragon Ball piece from the same line as this one is built to the same height and finish, which is the quickest way to judge a Banpresto format before committing to it.
