Bandai's GASHAPON division, known for its popular "Tsumande Tsunagete Mascot" (つまんでつなげてますこっと) series, is launching an exciting new collection based on the hit anime "ONE PIECE"! Get ready for the "ONE PIECE Tsumande Tsunagete Mascot Gear 5 Collection" capsule toys, priced at 400 JPY per play and slated for release in the second week of August 2026.
Luffy's iconic Gear 5 form made its anime debut in episode 1071 during the climactic Wano Country Arc, when he was pushed to his limits against Kaido. This powerful transformation is the awakened form of the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, previously believed to be the Rubber-Rubber Fruit. Gear 5 allows Luffy to fight with cartoon-like freedom, imbuing surrounding objects with rubbery properties. The Five Elders deem it the "most ridiculous ability," yet it stands as the ultimate embodiment of freedom!
The "ONE PIECE Tsumande Tsunagete Mascot Gear 5 Collection" focuses entirely on Gear 5 Luffy, capturing his various dynamic poses from the series in an adorable, approximately 2-head tall chibi style, standing at about 3.9 cm. The collection features five distinct sculpts (A-E), including Luffy in his Sun God Nika running pose, a surprised expression, and even an upside-down laughing pose. Despite their cute proportions, the figures meticulously recreate the intricate wrinkles of his clothing and the dynamic cloud effects surrounding him. Each figure comes with either a ball chain or a lobster clasp, resulting in a total of 10 different variations. Collectors can connect multiple figures using the lobster clasps to create an impressive display, showcasing all five Gear 5 Luffy poses in a single, continuous chain!
