The Yamato — Banpresto figure

About this One Piece figure

The Yamato belongs to the One Piece side of the floor, released under the King of Artist line. It stands about 8.7 in. What ships is what you see in the photographs — a single fixed pose, no articulation, no accessories to attach beyond the base it stands on.

What the listing specifies

Taken from the product listing, trimmed of the sales language:

• Standing at approximately 8.7" tall, Yamato is seen in their popular pose!

Looking after it

Sunlight is the enemy here. Pigments used on prize runs are not formulated for years of UV, and a figure parked on a bright windowsill shifts colour long before a shaded one does. A dry brush beats a duster: anything woven will snag a hair spike eventually.

Where this Banpresto figure sits in the hall

On the One Piece shelf this is the 83rd 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.
