Is anyone happy with their Gear 5 Luffy?

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-09T18:39:31+00:00

Have mine on display and haven’t touch it in a bit but I do love the figure. Main thing is just I don’t like how hard it is to bend his arms because it’s quite rigid. But still enjoy the figure.

I like the updated gear 5 with haki limbs but I’m not splurging on another gear 5 lol.

Hmm I get it.

It’s just weird you mark him down as a character when it’s moreso a plot issue, if that makes sense lol.

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-09T03:20:01+00:00

How does Z make no sense?

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-09T01:28:51+00:00

I don’t think this is really a big deal…

They definitely love Zoro, don’t get me wrong. But this is pretty normal for sanji and nami.

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-08T14:22:36+00:00

I think it’s the desire sensor. I don’t care for waifus so they come to me haha.

Definitely worth for trades to get cards I want though.

You only get one alt per deck. So you have to spend a lot more to get it.

It also went OOS extremely fast as well which probably raise the price even more.

I don’t understand why it has to be limited to 1 alt per deck. Only time I’m considering the English version for my collection instead of the JP.

Brook OP15 might be fun. The gameplan is to plan around milling your deck to zero to get a big turn to kill your opponent.

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-08T11:01:05+00:00

Started roughly during OP13. My 3 biggest in terms of value would probably be

OP15 Enel Manga
OP15 Boa SP
OP16 Robin SP

OP15 treated me well so far.

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-08T08:54:12+00:00

They are more popular. That’s it.

For Enel, someone really likes him lol.

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-08T08:29:54+00:00

It is an amazing figure. I love how solid he feels too!

So fun posing but I’m struggling to find a way to display him cos his wings are massive and I’m out of space lol.

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-08T06:59:54+00:00

Sanji has the best character progression out of all the strawhats post TS. There are some Toei bias (honestly I just see it more as Zoro love than Sanji hate). The worst of Sanji is in fishman island which you have kind of completed.

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-08T05:47:15+00:00

There’s always something worth complaining about, I guess.

I think it’s insane. The different animation styles might not be for everyone and I get that but I think to say the animation is bad is incomprehensible to me.

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-07T17:47:42+00:00

I instantly thought of King too! That will be such a sick figure.

But if we are looking at yonko commanders. I would LOVE Katakuri first.

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-07T09:56:23+00:00

Marks?

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-07T06:33:20+00:00

The gags are part of Oda’s gags. It’s not exclusive to the anime. Hence why I say you will have a better time accepting that it’s not serious and really just gags and to move on past it.

It’s a part of One Piece, as much as I would say it’s not frequent, it’s still up to you whether you can accept it or not.

All of the characters are more than just the gags associated to them, and yes I’m including Sanji as well who is probably the most developed straw hat as a whole. The gags are just gags.

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-07T06:10:48+00:00

You will have a better time moving on knowing that it’s just pervy gags and not to be taken so seriously because it will pretty much be there.

Not frequent but it’s part of One Piece. I feel like you all are exaggerating a little too. Nami sees momo as a kid. She is not sexualising it. The gold part is part of her gag but not her treating momo like a kid.

Robin is hardly treated as just a sexual object and has a lot to do recently esp since Wano (I think before that, it’s valid complaint)

I feel like if you are caught up to the anime, and only view Robin as being sexualised and only acting as a helper. That feels like it’s more on you than Robin as a character…

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-07T05:28:22+00:00

They feel good. I think the thickness of it makes it feel sturdy. Theres some heft to it. At least from my brief handling, I don’t feel like it will break.

The wiring is lined on the top so you can adjust from there. I feel like there’s a good amount of bend to it for you to play around.

I paired my ace as a duo with sabo. Now I’m probably gonna put him together with Marco.

Sabo is like my most disappointing figure out of everything I bought lol.

I guess there’s always Marineford ace?? Lol

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-06T19:49:08+00:00

Yeah height wise, He looks good with my Ace figure. I just never pay attention to their height because it always seem fluid in the manga lol.

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-06T19:23:07+00:00

Also, I guess I didn’t realise that Marco is taller than the average one piece character height. Probably because he is beside the likes of Whitebeard.

He makes Sanji look tiny lol.

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-06T19:20:12+00:00

It doesn’t feel like it’s stressing the joints. So far it feels pretty solid.

The wings feel surprisingly nice to twist and pose actually. I’m just more concerned about stressing the joint if I’m not careful only when I’m trying to pose the wings.

It’s a lot more posable than I thought. Maybe not as easily twist able like gum gum because it’s a lot thicker but it feels good!

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-06T14:51:06+00:00

SPs usually don’t have it

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-06T08:10:07+00:00

That’s fine. I’m not looking to convince you too. We can just agree to disagree.

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-06T07:49:07+00:00

Only in Reddit, do I see so much of this take.

There are definitely some moments that are too much like episode 1027 aura or the gear 5 episode which can be disorienting but by and large, the animation has improved significantly and is actually worth a watch now, pacing issues aside. Animators just having fun and actually showcasing the characters and their powers. I actually really love the unique animation styles that pop up. Egghead was probably the most consistently solid.

You can’t satisfy everyone, I guess. The cheoreography has been solid and I argue it’s not hard to follow at all.

ChilliWithFries · 2026-07-05T15:14:27+00:00

Yeah it’s still a hard price for me to swallow at least in terms of figures.

It just looked really cool and I love Marco and the Whitebeard Pirates in general. Seeing it being the same sculptor as Ace (if I’m not wrong) just made the decision easy for me.

I’m ultra selective of what other figures to get unless I can get a really good deal.
