As the first major ship of the Straw Hat Pirates, the Going Merry played an unforgettable role throughout the early adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew. Bandai faithfully recreates the ship's distinctive appearance, from its iconic sheep-shaped figurehead and curved hull to its large sails and detailed deck equipment. Designed as a larger-scale display model, the kit measures approximately 280mm (11 inches) in length after assembly. The increased size allows Bandai to reproduce numerous details that would be difficult to capture on a smaller ship model. The hull includes molded wood-grain texture, while the ropes feature realistic knot details. Even the wrinkles and folds of the sails are represented to enhance the overall appearance of the completed ship. The kit also includes the Straw Hat Pirates' crew figures, allowing fans to place their favorite characters aboard the Going Merry and recreate the atmosphere of the original anime. The included character figures represent Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Tony Tony Chopper. Additional ship accessories such as cannons, anchors, and cargo equipment further enhance the model's appearance. The anchor is articulated, allowing the Going Merry to be displayed in either a sailing or anchored configuration. Bandai also uses different materials for the various ropes, helping make the assembly process easier while providing a more realistic finished appearance. The kit includes nylon cord along with plastic components, decals, stickers, and a dedicated display stand. With its large size, detailed ship construction, character figures, and classic Going Merry design, this kit is an excellent centerpiece for any ONE PIECE collection. 🔧 KEY FEATURES 🐑 Iconic Going Merry Design Faithfully reproduces the first ship of the Straw Hat Pirates, including its unmistakable sheep-shaped figurehead. 🚢 Large 280mm Display Size The completed model measures approximately 280mm (11 inches) in length, giving it a substantial presence on a shelf or display case. 🌳 Detailed Wood-Grain Hull The hull incorporates molded wood-grain textures to recreate the appearance of a traditional wooden sailing ship. 🪢 Realistic Rope Details Rope knots and rigging details are reproduced throughout the ship, while nylon cord is included for selected sections. ⛵ Detailed Sails The sails feature molded details representing the wrinkles and folds of fabric for a more realistic appearance. ⚓ Movable Anchor The anchor can be positioned to represent the Going Merry either sailing or anchored in port. 💥 Ship Accessories Cannons, cargo, anchors, and other small ship components are included to add additional realism. 👒 Straw Hat Crew Figures Miniature figures of the original Straw Hat crew are included, allowing the characters to be displayed aboard the ship. 🏴☠️ Display Stand Included A dedicated display stand provides a stable platform for showcasing the completed Going Merry. 🎨 Multiple Decal & Sticker Options Water-transfer decals, marking stickers, and foil stickers are included to add additional detail to the finished model. 🛠️ Bandai Plastic Model Engineering The kit uses Bandai's familiar plastic-model construction system, providing a rewarding assembly experience for experienced model builders and ONE PIECE collectors. 🧰 INCLUDED EQUIPMENT Going Merry ship model Dedicated display stand Straw Hat crew figures Monkey D.
