Red-Haired Shanks – Stronger, Sleeker, and Stylish as Hell
Today we’re diving into the P.O.P Strong Edition of none other than Red-Haired Shanks! While he didn’t appear in the actual Strong World movie, this version of Shanks is based on a special game design that got the MegaHouse treatment alongside Fire Fist Ace—and honestly, it was a brilliant move.
Elegance Meets Badassery
Despite not coming with tons of flashy extras, this figure absolutely nails what matters most—Shanks looks elegant and deadly. His deep black alligator-skin suit catches the light with just the right amount of gloss, paired with shiny black shoes that scream luxury. The flowing coat draped over his shoulders adds a dose of drama and balances his cool, calm aura perfectly. It's huge, well-sculpted, and anchors the figure’s silhouette like a boss.
The Face of a Yonko
You get two interchangeable heads here: one with that iconic, intense glare and another rocking stylish sunglasses. Both look fantastic, but let’s be real—the classic head steals the show. The sculpted detail around his eyes is next-level, with deeply etched scars that bring out his character’s past and presence. And the hair? Finally, a Shanks figure that gets it right—mature, textured, and true to the adult version we know and respect. A massive upgrade over the earlier Neo sculpt.
Armed and Ready
It wouldn’t be Strong Edition without some firepower. Like his fellow releases in this line (except Nami), Shanks comes with a large, sleek handgun that’s full of fine sculpt detail. You even get an extra hand part so you can pose him with or without it. Whether you want him to look like a chill boss or a no-nonsense captain, you’ve got options—and they’re all cool.
Still a Fan Favorite
Sure, this version of Shanks never officially appeared in the film, but that doesn’t stop it from being one of the most stylish and satisfying P.O.P figures out there. Yuuki Ishiyama once again proves he knows exactly how to turn a static pose into a powerful visual story. If you don’t already have this figure, now’s the time to hunt it down—it’s a must-have for any serious One Piece collector.
