True to its Flying Model name, a simple stand is included to display it airborne.

Together with the original Thousand Sunny.

After quite a while, a new One Piece Grand Ship Collection has arrived — the Thousand Sunny Flying Model. It's essentially the original Thousand Sunny kit with additional Flying Model parts thrown in, and a clear display stand is included so you can show it off in mid-air. On top of that, the wave effect parts and base have been updated to new versions, which does bump the price up by ¥600.

The added parts consist of the figurehead at the bow, the tail at the stern, and wings on both sides — the wings do have some up-and-down articulation. Sticking on the seals still takes way longer than the actual assembly, but even with just a straight build and seal work, it looks pretty impressive.

The overall quality is on par with previous releases, but the wings make the Thousand Sunny look even more spectacular than before, so if you're a One Piece fan, this one is definitely worth building. :-)
