Megahouse has officially dropped their Portrait of Pirates release schedule up to March 2027, and honestly, it is a bit of a mixed bag. While it is always good to see the line moving, too many reprints are starting to kill the rarity of these premium pieces. We are all waiting for fresh faces and brand-new characters to finally hit the shelf, but it seems Megahouse is playing it safe for now. Let us be real: for veteran collectors, these announcements might feel a bit underwhelming, even if they serve as a fantastic chance for new collectors to grab iconic figures without paying ridiculous aftermarket prices.
The Return of Bellamy and S.O.C Sanji
The first major drop on the radar is the Bellamy reprint coming in January 2027. He still features that signature arrogant smirk and dynamic, spring-loaded pose, but if you have had him in your detolf for years, this is not exactly breaking news. Arriving slightly earlier in November 2026 is the S.O.C Sanji reprint, now rebranded as Ver.R. Sanji sitting casually on his premium leather-style chair, shirtless under his open jacket with a cigarette in hand, remains an absolute aesthetic masterpiece. The refined, high-end sculpt is undeniably beautiful, but once again, older collectors are left waiting for something genuinely new.
Marching Toward Gunko P.O.P ELB
Looking further ahead to March 2027, Megahouse has slated the Gunko P.O.P ELB. We are still waiting to see the full painted prototype and accessories, but hopefully, the crisp paintwork and shelf presence will bring some much-needed fresh energy to the lineup. In the meantime, we are still waiting to find out exactly when the Bartolomeo reprint will happen. The barrier-wielding fanboy is definitely in the queue, but Megahouse is keeping his return date under wraps for now.
The December 2026 S.O.C Mystery
Here is where things get slightly interesting: Megahouse has teased another S.O.C series reprint for December 2026. Since we already have Sanji and Zoro covered, who is taking the holiday slot? Let us be brutally honest—it is highly unlikely to be Capone Bege. Even with his sharp mafia suit, smoking cigar, and flintlock pistol out, his overall popularity just cannot compete with the heavy hitters of the line. That leaves us looking at the big three: Portgas D. Ace, Trafalgar Law, and Sabo.
Law vs. Ace: The Final Showdown
If we factor in overall popularity rankings and sheer demand, Sabo leaning over his chair back probably sits at the bottom of the probability list. This creates a direct showdown between the Surgeon of Death and Fire Fist. Realistically, there is a 60% chance we see Trafalgar Law, and a 40% chance for Ace. Law doesn't carry a weapon for this sit-down; instead, it's all about that smug smirk, crossed legs, and his completely open dress shirt showing off those iconic Heart Pirates chest tattoos on a plush red leather armchair. Meanwhile, Ace brings a completely different vibe, kicking back completely barefoot with his signature orange hat resting right on his knee. Either way, it is yet another reprint closing out the year, leaving veteran collectors hoping that the rest of 2027 finally brings us some brand-new sculpts.
