The hole in the stand fits right into the bottom of the ship, so it holds nice and firm.

Together with the previous release, the Thousand Sunny Film Gold version.

The One Piece Grand Ship Collection series keeps going just as relentlessly as the manga itself, and this time it's the Spade Pirates' Ship. The figurehead with its cute little expression is really the highlight here — it looks somewhat similar to the other pirate ships in the lineup, yet the overall design is completely different.

The overall package stays true to the series concept — with decent color separation and a hefty amount of sticker work, you can get a pretty striking result without any painting. It's still a kit where applying the stickers takes longer than the actual assembly. The vertical stripes on the hull are all done with stickers, which can look a little obvious up close, but step back a bit and it doesn't feel out of place at all.

Thanks to its cute, anime-style ship design, this series is popular with female modelers too — and if you're a One Piece fan, it's a charming little kit that's just a lot of fun to build. :-)
