ONE PIECE - Shiki - Figure Battle Record Collection 16cm

This PVC figurine depicts the character Shiki from theOne Piece manga and anime. This model is produced by Banpresto as part of theBattle Record Collection range.

The character is depicted in a dynamic fighting pose, arms outstretched, holding a sword in each hand. The sculpt faithfully reproduces the character’s official design, including his long, voluminous blonde hair, stylised eyebrows, and a cigar moulded to his mouth. His traditional-style outfit consists of a dark haori, a red sash, a pleated ochre hakama and a long orange and yellow striped cape depicted in motion at the back. The figurine stands on both feet, clad in wooden geta, and includes a stand to ensure stability when displayed on the floor.

In theOne Piece universe, Shiki, nicknamed ‘The Golden Lion’, is the captain of the Golden Lion Pirates and a historical figure from the era of Gol D. Roger. He is historically recognised as the very first prisoner to have successfully escaped from the high-security prison of Impel Down, a feat he accomplished by cutting off both his legs to free himself from his marine granite shackles.

This figurine from theBattle Record Collectionrange captures the character during his active years, notably during the events surrounding the God Valley incident or during his great naval battles. In battle, Shiki utilises the powers of theFuwa Fuwa no Mi(the Floating-Floating Fruit), a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to levitate any non-living object he touches. His two collectible swords, namedOtoandKogarasu, complete his offensive arsenal before he later uses them as prosthetics to replace his missing lower limbs.
