The new release recreates Shanks in his Marineford outfit from the final stage of the Paramount War.

Unlike a fixed-pose display statue, this version belongs to Bandai’s articulated S.H.Figuarts line. Its main features include a poseable body, cloth cloak, four interchangeable expressions, a removable straw hat and two versions of Shanks’ sword, Griffin.

The package also includes a bonus face for the separately sold S.H.Figuarts Monkey D. Luffy -Marineford-, allowing collectors to build a more connected Marineford display.

What Is Included?

The official package contains:

Main Shanks figure
Four interchangeable facial expressions
Two interchangeable right wrist parts
Straw hat with a dedicated holding wrist
Griffin in its sheathed state
Griffin in its drawn-sword state
Removable cloth cloak
Bonus face for S.H.Figuarts Monkey D. Luffy -Marineford-

The Marineford Luffy body is not included. The bonus expression can only be used with the separately sold compatible Luffy figure.

Marineford Outfit and Cloth Cloak

This version of Shanks is based on his appearance during the Marineford conflict.

The figure recreates his open white shirt, patterned cropped trousers, sandals and long black cloak. These costume elements make the release visually different from figures based on later Shanks scenes.

The cloak is made from cloth instead of rigid plastic. This should allow it to fall more naturally around the body and interfere less with the shoulder joints during sword poses.

A fabric cape can also be adjusted for standing, walking and airborne arrangements. Collectors should handle the stitching carefully and avoid leaving the material tightly folded for long periods.

Straw Hat Accessory

The straw hat is one of the most story-specific accessories in the package.

Shanks is directly connected to the hat that later became Luffy’s signature item. Bandai includes a dedicated wrist part so the figure can hold the accessory naturally rather than simply placing it beside the character.

The hat supports several display ideas:

Shanks holding the hat in front of his body
A calm character-focused Marineford pose
A display beside the separately sold Marineford Luffy
A timeline shelf connecting Shanks and Luffy

This accessory gives the release more emotional value than a standard sword-only action figure.

Griffin Sword Parts

Shanks’ sword, Griffin, is included in two separate forms.

The sheathed version works with standing, walking and non-combat poses. The drawn version is designed for attack stances and more dynamic action displays.

Providing two complete forms is useful because collectors do not need to insert and remove a narrow blade from a small scabbard. It also helps the sheathed sword maintain a cleaner appearance.

Articulation and Display Options

The Marineford release is designed as a fully poseable character figure rather than a fixed statue.

The promotional images show Shanks in standing, leaning, sword-drawing and airborne arrangements. Shoulder movement, torso articulation and leg range are particularly important because the figure wears a large cloak and loose trousers.

Collectors can use the figure for:

Marineford arrival scenes
Standing Emperor poses
One-handed sword attacks
Airborne arrangements with a compatible stand
Shanks and Luffy character displays

A display stand is not listed in the official package contents. Anyone planning an airborne pose should check for a compatible stand separately.

Four Interchangeable Expressions

The figure includes four alternate facial expressions for calm, serious and combat-focused displays.

This is useful for Shanks because his character often shifts from a relaxed expression to an intimidating presence within the same scene.

A neutral face works well with the sheathed Griffin and straw hat. More intense expressions are better suited to drawn-sword poses and battle photography.

Bonus Marineford Luffy Face

The bonus item is an alternate expression for the separately sold S.H.Figuarts Monkey D. Luffy -Marineford- figure.

It does not include a second full figure. Collectors need the compatible Luffy body before the extra expression can be used.

For anyone building a connected Marineford shelf, the bonus face creates a stronger relationship between the two releases and provides another character-scene option.

Shanks Marineford vs Shanks Divine Departure

The new articulated figure and the Figuarts ZERO Shanks Divine Departure collectible are made for different display preferences.

Feature	S.H.Figuarts Marineford	Figuarts ZERO Divine Departure
Product type	Articulated action figure	Fixed-pose display figure
Main theme	Marineford appearance and character posing	Divine Departure attack scene
Articulation	Fully poseable body	Primarily fixed pose
Main features	Cloth cloak, straw hat, Griffin and expressions	Sculpted attack effects and complete display composition
Best for	Posing, photography and scene building	Strong visual impact with minimal setup

The Marineford version is more suitable for collectors who prioritize articulation, accessories and changing poses.

The Divine Departure release is better suited to collectors who want a complete Shanks attack scene without adjusting joints or changing parts.

Prefer a Fixed Shanks Battle Display?

The Figuarts ZERO Shanks Divine Departure collectible focuses on a complete sculpted attack scene rather than full articulation. Check the live product page for the current price, selected version, packaging and availability.

Who Should Consider Ordering It?

The January 2027 release is most relevant for collectors who:

Want a fully articulated Shanks figure
Prefer his Marineford appearance
Want a removable cloth cloak
Plan to display Shanks holding the straw hat
Already collect S.H.Figuarts One Piece characters
Plan to pair the figure with Marineford Luffy
Prefer posing and photography over a fixed display

Collectors who mainly want Shanks’ Divine Departure attack and a complete effect composition may still prefer the fixed Figuarts ZERO release.

Before ordering the new Marineford version, confirm the retailer price, preorder conditions and estimated delivery date for your own region.

Final Verdict

S.H.Figuarts Shanks -Marineford- offers a flexible, character-focused alternative to fixed Shanks collectibles.

Its strongest features are the cloth cloak, two Griffin sword forms, straw hat accessory, four expressions and the compatibility bonus for Marineford Luffy.

The release does not depend on a large attack effect. Its value comes from articulation, interchangeable parts and the ability to recreate both calm and action-focused Shanks scenes.

For collectors building a Marineford shelf or a poseable One Piece character lineup, it is one of the most relevant Shanks releases scheduled for early 2027.
