Orders Open for Shanks x Chicago Bulls One Piece and NBA Collab Figure
Bandai has officially opened pre-orders for a striking new figure of Red-Haired Shanks representing the Chicago Bulls as part of the massive ongoing crossover between the iconic anime series One Piece and the NBA.
This brand new statue headlines the second wave of the impressive ONE PIECE x NBA MASTER STARS PIECE collection that expertly pairs legendary anime characters with official professional basketball teams.
The statue captures the powerful pirate captain wearing the classic red uniform and stands at approximately 19cm tall including its dedicated display base.
Fans were originally treated to a full reveal of this ambitious ten-figure lineup during a special NBA HOUSE JAPAN event earlier this year.
The monumental crossover between the global sports organization and the swashbuckling adventure series was originally announced back in November 2025.
Since the initial reveal, the partnership has generated multiple successful merchandise lines, including S.H. Figuarts action figures of Luffy and adorable plush toys featuring Chopper.
The ONE PIECE x NBA MASTER STARS PIECE line stands out by offering incredibly detailed display pieces that merge the unique personalities of Eiichiro Oda’s famous creations with the athletic intensity of the sport.
Joining Shanks on the court for this second wave is the Straw Hat crew’s master swordsman Roronoa Zoro, who is proudly representing the Boston Celtics.
While these two characters make up the current offering, there are still six more stunning designs waiting to be released in future drops.
The remaining roster of upcoming figures in this ten-part crossover includes the following pairings:
- Trafalgar Law (Golden State Warriors)
- Sanji (Indiana Pacers)
- Nami (Denver Nuggets)
- Sabo (Memphis Grizzlies)
- Portgas D. Ace (New York Knicks)
- Yamato (Milwaukee Bucks)
These future additions will be released in consecutive pairs over the coming months as the manufacturer continues to expand the collaborative line.
Latecomers still have a chance to grab the first wave of figures that originally launched back on April 25, 2026.
The initial drop featured Monkey D. Luffy in his powerful Gear 5 form representing the Los Angeles Lakers, alongside Enel commanding the court for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The new Chicago Bulls Shanks figure is priced at 14,300 yen (approx. $91 USD / £72 GBP).
The Boston Celtics Zoro figure is available to order for 12,100 yen (approx. $77 USD / £61 GBP).
Pre-orders for both of these incredible new statues officially opened on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at 10:00 AM exclusively through the Premium Bandai online store.
Shipments for this second pair are currently scheduled to begin rolling out to buyers in November 2026.
Pre-orders for the first wave remain open via Premium Bandai, though remaining stock may be extremely limited.
The first releases are scheduled to begin shipping to buyers in October 2026 and eager collectors will need to act quickly to place their orders as stock may be limited and could sell out at any time.
