Luffy One Piece - Figures
Figures of Monkey D. Luffy from the incredibly popular One Piece series are always in high demand. Since its original airing in Fall 1999, the One Piece anime series continued to gain popularity as it showed the many adventures of Luffy and his pirate crew. Due to it being such a long-running series, the many different arcs shown in the series have inspired an unbelievable amount of figures of Luffy. From the diverse range of figures currently available, here are some popular figures such as the "Variable Action Hero Monkey D. Luffy (Re-run)", "Battle Memories Luffy Gear 4 Snakeman", and "Luffy Taro."
One Piece Variable Action Hero Monkey D. Luffy (Re-run)
This action figure of Luffy is rather flexible due to the many moveable articulation points in his joints, allowing for a wide range of poses. He is wearing his usual blue shorts and red unbuttoned shirt, exposing his X-shaped scar on his stomach. His signature straw hat rests around his neck and is also removable. This figure also comes with three different facial expressions: a smiling face, a frowning serious face, and an angry expression that is often seen when fighting. This figure also includes various hand parts like his hands clenched into fists, normal relaxed hands, and those with his palms spread flat, which allow for an even wider range of poses. The great articulation and extra pieces also allow for poses like his iconic Gear Second pose, where he bends down with one hand clenched into a fist on the ground while the other rests on his leg - one of the most famous poses in the series.

He is posing with his legs spread apart and in a kabuki-like pose as he has one hand spread out in front of him while the other hand is behind his head holding a katana. Instead of his usual hairstyle, his messy black hair has topknot on his head so he can fit in with the people in Wano Country. He is also seen grinning with a stick between his teeth as he looks excited and determined like he is about to swing his katana.
