Five characteristics (strengths)

1. The definitive pose of Luffy from the Summit War arc

   • This figure recreates the dynamic, forward-leaning pose as he charges to the front lines to save his ace.

   • The determined expression, clenched teeth, and wide-open eyes convey the tension of the scene.

2. Gear 2's "red glow" and steam effect

   • The paintwork recreates the state when Gear 2 is activated, where blood flow increases and the skin turns red.

   • The effect, which evokes steam rising from the characters' bodies, instantly conveys the intensity of the battle scenes.

3. The sculpting is so detailed that it includes muscles and even wrinkles in the clothing.

   • The voluminous, bulging muscles of the arms and legs, and the intricate details of the wrinkles in the clothing that undulate with the running motion, are meticulously crafted.

   • Despite its small size, the meticulous attention to detail gives it a sense of density that prevents it from feeling cheap.

4. It looks great even in a small space thanks to its flashy effects.

   • The series' common feature is the use of clear molding for effect parts that resemble flames and shockwaves, so the impression changes depending on how the light hits them.

   • Despite its compact size of approximately 12cm in height, its impressive volume makes it stand out even when placed on shelves or in the front row of a Detolf display case.

5. You can recreate the "Summit War" by displaying them together in the series.

   • Several characters from the Marineford Summit War arc have also been made into figures, allowing you to enjoy displaying them alongside the comrades who head out to rescue Ace.

   • By combining it with Luffy and other forms from the "Super Fierce Battle -EXTRA BATTLE-" series, it's possible to create a display that follows a timeline.
