Version 1.5 One Piece Shanks Action Figure Wears a Cloth Cape

MegaHouse announced the Variable Action Heroes figure of Shanks from One Piece will return, with the latest iteration of the anime character now wearing an actual cloth cloak. Stores like AmiAmi and Big Bad Toy Store are already taking pre-orders for the 10,450円 (~$67) item ahead of its October 2024 debut.   

This version of Shanks is inspired by his Four Emperors appearance in One Piece. He has a cloth cape this time around. His sword is also available, either for him to wield or holster in his scabbard. He comes with three face plates, with two notable ones showing him laughing or looking determined. He also comes with different hand parts for various poses. 

Here’s a better look at how the figure will appear once he’s released:

The original Shanks One Piece Variable Action Heroes figure debuted back in 2017. When it launched, it cost 8,800円 (~$56.35). However, it didn’t feature some of the same features as this new version. For example, that release had a plastic cape, rather than a cloth one.

The Version 1.5 Variable Action Heroes Shanks figure will launch in Japan in October 2024. The One Piece anime is on Crunchyroll, the live-action show is on Netflix, and Viz Media handles the manga.
