[NEW SHOTS] Monkey D. Luffy "Gear 5" - P.O.P Evolutionary History

Figure: Monkey D. Luffy "Gear 5" - P.O.P Evolutionary History

The Sun God Descends: Monkey D. Luffy Gear 5 Joins the P.O.P Evolutionary History Line!

We finally have some fresh, in-hand looks at the highly anticipated Monkey D. Luffy Gear 5 from the Portrait of Pirates Evolutionary History line. Scheduled for release in October 2026, this static scale figure perfectly captures the wild, cartoonish freedom of Luffy's peak form. The dynamic pose features Luffy leaping joyously into the air with his right arm thrust forward and his elongated left arm looping overhead in a wildly elastic arc.

Aesthetic Details and Sculpting Brilliance

MegaHouse has absolutely nailed the Nika expression here. The face sculpt shows off Luffy's massive, open-mouthed laugh and those distinct, concentric spiral eyes that define his awakened state. His pure white hair swirls organically in every direction, matching the chaotic energy of the transformation. The torso detailing is crisp, featuring a beautifully shaded chest with his iconic X-scar clearly visible. Down below, he wears his signature white shorts trimmed with fluffy, cloud-like cuffs, while his trusty straw hat casually dangles against his muscular back. The close-up shots even reveal the incredible texture work on his feet, showcasing perfectly sculpted toes resting in woven straw zori sandals with dark straps.

Riding the Celestial Clouds

One of the most striking elements of this release is the gorgeous effect base supporting the figure. Functioning as both a thematic display and a structural riser, the base is designed as a swirling, ascending vortex of smoke and clouds. The color gradient is stunning, transitioning smoothly from a soft sky blue at the bottom to a pale lavender and white at the crests. For collectors who love seeing the engineering, the new shots also show the figure detached from the base, revealing a solid peg connection right in the center of the cloud column to keep the airborne pose secure.

Final Thoughts on the Evolutionary History Gear 5

This October 2026 release is shaping up to be an absolute centerpiece for any One Piece collection. The buttery smooth paint application leans into a slightly pastel, ethereal color palette that perfectly suits the Gear 5 aesthetic. From the playful, floating posture to the intricate cloud base, this Portrait of Pirates release captures the exact moment the drums of liberation start beating.
