There are collaborations, and then there are moments that simply redefine what a collector expects from a crossover. The new S.H.Figuarts ONE PIECE×NBA Monkey D. Luffy -CHICAGO BULLS ver.- is one of those figures that makes you pause, look again, and then just smile at the sheer audacity of it all.
This is the S.H.Figuarts ONE PIECE×NBA Monkey D. Luffy -CHICAGO BULLS ver.- figure, manufactured by TAMASHII NATIONS of BANDAI SPIRITS. It stands approximately 14.5 cm tall and costs 9,900 JPY. The release window is scheduled for December 2026.
A Red and Black Dynasty Beckons
This isn’t a casual uniform swap; it’s a character inhabiting a new role. Seeing Monkey D. Luffy, the future King of the Pirates, don the Chicago Bulls’ iconic red and black jersey just works. Following the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks versions, this Bulls outfit might be the most fitting yet for Luffy’s exuberant personality. The combination of his signature straw hat with a basketball uniform feels natural, not forced.
Engineering the Gomu Gomu Dunk
S.H.Figuarts has a reputation for delivering excellent articulation, and Luffy’s basketball rendition appears no different. The figure is designed for dynamic posing, allowing collectors to recreate passes, jump shots, or even a rubbery dunk. Interchangeable hand gestures and multiple face plates – a wide grin, a side-eye smirk, and a focused expression – let you tell a full story on the court.
The Devil’s in the Detail: Number 5656
Collectors often appreciate subtle nods, and this figure delivers one with its jersey number: 5656. This clever phonetic play on “Go-Mu Go-Mu” (Gum-Gum) from his Devil Fruit power is a perfect touch. It grounds the fantasy in a way that respects both the NBA and ONE PIECE lore. The inclusion of his straw hat, a basketball, and a dedicated stand bearing the Bulls logo rounds out the package thoughtfully.
Building the Dream Court
The figure arrives ready for solo display, but it also integrates perfectly into a larger scene. A dedicated base with the Bulls logo makes it stand out on any shelf. For those looking to fully realize the basketball fantasy, this Luffy pairs with the separately sold S.H.Figuarts ONE PIECE x NBA Basketball Hoop Set. It’s a complete vision for display, ready to bring the hardwood to your collection.
The Collector’s Survival Guide: How to Justify This
The Collector Math: Look, the market for unique crossovers like this one is consistently undervalued at release. With Luffy in a Bulls jersey, this piece represents a convergence of two global phenomena; its future scarcity makes the 9,900 JPY investment a hedge against regret.
How to tell your wife: Honey, remember how you said my collection needs more color? This new Luffy figure in his Chicago Bulls uniform will add a vibrant splash of red to the display, really tying the room together visually. Plus, it arrives in 2026, so the cost is totally spread out over time.
How to tell your parents: You know I have an eye for discerning quality in modern pop culture artifacts. This Monkey D. Luffy figure isn’t just a toy; it’s an early capture of a unique cross-cultural phenomenon, a potential landmark in collectible design, priced at just 9,900 JPY. It shows real market foresight to acquire something like this now.
How to tell your kids: Kids, this is Monkey D. Luffy, the greatest pirate, and he’s also the best basketball player on the Chicago Bulls. His jersey number, 5656, is a secret code for his Gum-Gum powers. Remember, you can look closely at his little basketball, but you can’t touch the figure without asking first.
This Luffy, in its Chicago Bulls uniform, embodies the unexpected joy that good art toys can bring. It’s a fun, dynamic piece that earns its place by celebrating both its source material and the spirit of sports with a healthy dose of playful invention.
