The ONE PIECE × NBA MASTER STARS PIECE THE SHANKS CHICAGO BULLS is a new Premium Bandai exclusive from Banpresto, and it puts Red-Haired Shanks from One Piece in Chicago Bulls colors. It’s scheduled to ship in November 2026 and is priced at ¥14,300 including tax. I’ll be honest: of all the team pairings in this crossover, this is the one that made me grin first.
The ONE PIECE × NBA MASTER STARS PIECE THE SHANKS CHICAGO BULLS is a pre-painted finished figure of Shanks from One Piece, made by Banpresto and sold through Premium Bandai. It comes with a dedicated display base. It is scheduled to ship in November 2026 for ¥14,300 including tax.
Why Shanks Fits the Bulls So Well
Shanks is the Red-Haired Emperor, and the Bulls are the team whose whole identity is red. That’s not a stretch pairing; that’s a color match somebody should’ve made years ago. I also like the attitude overlap, because Shanks carries himself like a guy who already knows how the game ends, and Chicago fans have a certain swagger about their franchise history too.
Paint and Sculpt: What to Watch For
The MASTER STARS PIECE line is Banpresto’s larger-format range, and the height quoted for this one counts the base, so plan your shelf with that in mind. The thing I’ll be looking at closely is how the red of the hair plays against the Bulls red of the outfit, since two reds sitting side by side can either sing or turn into one muddy block. Banpresto’s own note warns that paint can vary a little from piece to piece, which is normal for figures at this price and worth knowing before you get picky about a single brushstroke.
How It Stacks Up
This isn’t trying to be a Prime 1 Studio statue, and it shouldn’t be judged like one. What Banpresto does well is clean, readable sculpting with confident poses that look right from across a room, and that’s the bar I’d hold it to. If you want Shanks with Megahouse Portrait.Of.Pirates levels of fabric detail, this sits a step below, but it also sits in a much friendlier price bracket.
Building the Lineup
Shanks joins a crossover roster that already includes Ace with the New York Knicks, Sabo with the Memphis Grizzlies, Law with the Golden State Warriors, Yamato with the Milwaukee Bucks, Nami with the Denver Nuggets and Sanji with the Indiana Pacers. Premium Bandai says orders may close once the planned quantity is reached, and this one won’t be released as an amusement prize. We’ll keep an eye on that order window and update readers if anything changes.

The Collector’s Survival Guide: How to Justify This
The Collector Math: Shanks has a bounty of 4,048,900,000 berries, and the entire Navy has never managed to bring him in. Banpresto is delivering him to my front door this month, standing on his own base, for ¥14,300. Honestly, the Navy owes me four billion berries.
How to tell your wife: Babe, at Marineford Shanks walked in, said ‘I came here to end this war,’ and the whole battlefield stopped. He’s 19 centimeters tall, he’s ¥14,300 and he ships this month. Perfect timing, because you look ready to start one.
How to tell your parents: Mom, you spent years telling me to put down the cartoons and get into sports. Banpresto went and made the Red-Haired pirate an official Chicago Bulls figure. That’s called meeting in the middle.
How to tell your kids: This is Shanks, and he told Luffy they’d only meet again once Luffy became a great pirate. That rule covers this figure too. You can hold him the day you find the One Piece.
Shanks in Bulls red is the smartest pairing in this crossover, and the dedicated base plus a reasonable ¥14,300 price make it an easy fit for a One Piece shelf. If you’re building the NBA lineup, this is the anchor piece I’d put front and center.
