Bandai’s Tamashii Nations confirmed that there will be new One Piece SH Figuarts figures based on the Netflix live-action show. The announcement didn’t include a look at any prototypes or announce any characters that will appear. However, it did reveal that people will get to see the in-development figures at Anime Expo 2023.
Here’s the announcement. It only shared the logo for the live-action adaptation of the series. Given that the Straw Hat Pirates in this first season include Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Usopp, and Zoro, it could be possible that one or all of them could appear in the line up. This would likely mean One Piece SH Figuarts figures that will bear a resemblance to Inaki Godoy, Emily Rudd, Taz Skylar, Jacob Romero Gibson, and Mackenyu.
We're thrilled to announce a very special collaboration! Combining the creative forces of NETFLIX ONE PIECE and TAMASHII NATIONS action figure brand S.H.Figuarts! A world's first sneak peek is set to be revealed at ANIME EXPO 2023!#netflixonepiece #shfiguarts #tamashiinations pic.twitter.com/yq46t8UOHp

As a reminder, the Luffy and Zoro standard SH Figuarts figures will return this year.
The One Piece live-action show will appear on Netflix on August 31, 2023. The anime is streaming on Crunchyroll, with some movies on Netflix. The manga is localized by Viz Media. There’s no release date for the One Piece SH Figuarts figures based on the live-action adaptation yet, but they’ll be on display at Anime Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center July 1-4, 2023.
