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: The Bulls won six championships in the nineties, and Luffy has never lost a fight that really mattered. That’s two legends in one 14.5-centimeter figure for about $64. Roughly ten bucks per championship.
How to tell your wife: It comes with a basketball and a special stand with the Bulls logo, so it’s officially sports memorabilia. Real Bulls memorabilia goes for thousands at auction. I’m saving us a fortune.
How to tell your parents: Remember when I wanted to be the next Michael Jordan? That didn’t happen. But a pirate in a Bulls jersey did, and he’s 14.5 centimeters of second chances.
How to tell your kids: This Luffy has his own basketball, so nobody else needs to throw balls in the house. That’s his job now. If you see a ball flying, it had better be Luffy.
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.
