One Piece's most anticipated Red Hair Pirates showdown is getting MegaHouse's flagship statue treatment. Confirmed via MegaHouse's official Portrait.Of.Pirates reveal and reported by Toy People, the SA-MAXIMUM Shanks Divine Departure statue releases August 2026, priced at 29,700 JPY (approximately $200 USD), with pre-orders opening January 30, 2026 at 1 PM.
This is a confirmed release with locked pricing, so here's what's included.
MegaHouse's official reveal, as reported by Toy People, confirms the following:
Capturing the exact moment Shanks intercepts and defeats Eustass Kid gives this statue direct ties to one of the most significant Red Hair Pirates moments in the current story arc, rather than a generic action pose disconnected from a specific narrative beat. Statues built around a specific, identifiable story moment tend to hold more lasting display value than generic character portraits, since collectors and visitors alike can immediately place the scene rather than seeing an isolated pose.
As MegaHouse's flagship One Piece line, the SA-MAXIMUM designation signals a higher tier of sculpting and paint detail than the standard Portrait.Of.Pirates releases, reflected in the multi-layered paintwork used across the dynamic effect parts surrounding Shanks. Collectors already familiar with standard P.O.P entries should expect a noticeably higher level of finish and a correspondingly higher price point from this tier.
For a 25cm statue with extensive effect-part detailing, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps the multi-layered paintwork dust-free.
For elevated centerpiece display, EVORETRO's acrylic display risers add shelf presence for the dynamic sword-swinging pose.
With pre-orders having opened back in January 2026, collectors who haven't already secured a unit should watch for any remaining allocation or secondary retailer stock ahead of the confirmed August release.
Shanks and Eustass Kid represent two of the story's most powerful Emperor-tier and rookie-tier figures respectively, so a statue capturing Shanks decisively ending that confrontation gives collectors a scene that carries real narrative weight within the current arc rather than a hypothetical or fan-imagined matchup. Kid's defeat at Shanks's hands was a genuinely significant story beat that reshaped the balance of power among the series' strongest characters, which is part of why MegaHouse chose this specific moment for its flagship SA-MAXIMUM treatment rather than a more generic action pose.
At 29,700 JPY, the roughly $200 USD estimate will shift with exchange rates at the time of purchase, so collectors ordering through Japanese retailers or import specialists should treat that figure as an approximation rather than a locked price, and should factor in shipping costs separately when comparing total spend against other premium One Piece statue releases.
Flagship-tier statue lines like SA-MAXIMUM typically receive a manufacturer's most experienced sculptors and most careful production oversight, since these releases are meant to represent the brand's best possible work on its most requested characters and moments. That positioning tends to make flagship releases a reliable long-term hold for collectors, since the extra production care generally translates into stronger secondary-market interest compared to a standard-tier release of the same character.

Shanks decisively defeating Eustass Kid, one of the series' strongest rookie-tier characters, was a significant moment that reshaped the current power balance among top-tier characters.
No, since the statue is priced in JPY, the USD equivalent shifts with the exchange rate at time of purchase.

Having a case and risers ready keeps the statue's dynamic pose protected and well-displayed.
