Bandai Spirits' TAMASHII NATIONS is launching an entirely new statue-style figure series. Confirmed via TAMASHII NATIONS' official product reveal, Figuarts ZERO STARTune debuts with Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece, releasing December 2026, priced at 8,250 JPY (approximately $56 USD).

This is a confirmed release with locked pricing, so here's what's included.

What's Confirmed About This Launch

TAMASHII NATIONS' official product reveal confirms the following:

  • Release date: December 2026
  • Price: 8,250 JPY (approximately $56 USD)
  • Titled "Monkey D. Luffy - Setting Sail for the New World -"
  • Depicts Luffy following the two-year timeskip, at the start of the Straw Hat Pirates' new journey
  • Future STARTune entries teased for Naruto Uzumaki and Son Goku

A Fresh Concept Within an Established Line

Building STARTune as a new sub-line within the existing Figuarts ZERO statue format, rather than a standalone brand, gives Luffy a display concept designed specifically around recreating the atmosphere and world of a chosen scene, distinct from Figuarts ZERO's typical single-character poses.

Why Starting With Luffy Makes Sense

Leading a brand-new multi-franchise statue line with One Piece's most recognizable protagonist, ahead of already-teased Naruto and Dragon Ball entries, gives STARTune broad initial visibility across anime fandoms before expanding into other franchises.

For displaying this atmospheric-style statue, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps it dust-free and protected.

For giving Luffy shelf presence, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds a dedicated display tier.

Common Mistakes Collectors Make

  • Confusing STARTune with the standard Figuarts ZERO line rather than its own new sub-series
  • Assuming Naruto and Dragon Ball entries are already confirmed rather than just teased via silhouette
  • Missing the December 2026 release date while planning a pre-order
  • Underestimating the display footprint needed for the diorama-style base
