ONE PIECE - Shanks - Figure Maximatic 25cm

Based on the One Piece series, this Banpresto figurine depicts Shanks the Red, captain of the Red-Haired Pirates and one of the Four Emperors. Part of the MAXIMATIC collection, it offers an imposing depiction of the pirate in his iconic outfit, standing 25 cm tall.

Shanks is depicted standing, in a calm and confident pose. He wears a white shirt left wide open across his chest, loose-fitting grey trousers decorated with plant motifs, and black sandals. His long black cloak, draped over his shoulders, falls almost to the ground and features intricate sculpting of the folds to lend greater volume to the figure. His red hair and the three vertical scars above his left eye complete his instantly recognisable appearance.

Shanks’s right hand grips the hilt of his sword, whose golden guard and dark handle remain visible. The sculpture thus emphasises a composed presence rather than a dynamic attack: his legs are slightly apart, his expression is serious, and his cape is billowing, all of which serve to highlight the character’s stature. The MAXIMATIC format produces a large-scale figurine suitable for display on its own or alongside other major characters from One Piece.

Character background and lore

Shanks is the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates and one of the Four Emperors who rule the seas of the New World. In his youth, he was a ship’s boy aboard Gol D. Roger’s ship alongside Baggy. The official One Piece profile currently lists a bounty of 4,048,900,000 berrys, which reflects the importance the World Government attaches to him.

Shanks plays a pivotal role in the life of Monkey D. Luffy. Whilst staying in the village of Fuchsia, he saved the young boy from a Sea King at the cost of his left arm. As he set sail once more, he entrusted Luffy with his famous straw hat, once worn by Roger, asking him to return it when he had become a great pirate. This promise became one of the driving forces behind Luffy’s journey.

Although he features relatively little in the early parts of the story, Shanks wields considerable influence. In particular, he appears at Marineford following the deaths of Ace and Whitebeard and brings the war to an end by securing a ceasefire between the pirates and the Marines. His power, his Haki and his status make him one of the leading figures of the current generation of pirates.
