Crocodile Arrives With His Own Weather System
Bandai Spirits built this release around a single battle. The figure stands roughly 180mm tall, and its joints are tuned for the poses Crocodile throws during the Marineford summit war. That is plainly where the sculpt's engineering went.
The parts list backs that up. Tamashii Web, the collector-toy storefront run by Bandai Spirits under its Tamashii Nations brand, lists three interchangeable right hands, an effect-equipped right wrist part, three swappable expression parts, a replacement head assembly with effect pieces already attached, and a crescent-shaped sand-dune arm part for his Barjan. The coat is actual cloth rather than sculpted plastic, and the figure is made of PVC, ABS and fabric, rated for ages 15 and up.
Those sand effects are the reason this figure exists in this form. Crocodile's Suna Suna no Mi (Sand-Sand Fruit) turns his body into sand, a state most action figures cannot depict without a fistful of translucent add-ons, and Japanese anime news site Anime Anime's report on the release describes the optional parts as reproducing that ability rather than as generic accessories.
The Marineford Shelf Is Filling Up
The most telling inclusion is a bonus that only pays off if you already own another box. Crocodile ships with a replacement expression part made for the S.H.Figuarts Monkey D. Luffy -Marineford-, which is sold separately.
That is not a throwaway pack-in. Tamashii Web currently lists Marineford versions of Luffy and Shanks in the same sub-line, so Bandai Spirits is assembling this arc as a group rather than as isolated one-offs. A face part that changes Luffy's expression puts the two figures on the same shelf, in the same scene, facing each other.
A Series That Keeps Rewriting Its Own Records
One Piece started running in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump issue 34, on sale July 22, 1997, and passed 25 years of serialization in July 2022. Volume 1 arrived in December 1997.
The print numbers are where the scale becomes obvious. Volume 57, released in March 2010, shipped a first print run of 3 million copies, the largest first printing in Japanese publishing history at that point. Eiichiro Oda's series held that 3 million baseline and then beat itself: volume 67, out August 3, 2012, launched with a first print of 4.05 million. As of March 4, 2026, worldwide circulation has passed 600 million copies, with more than 450 million of those in Japan and more than 150 million overseas.
The anime has been running on the Fuji TV network since 1999 and marked its 25th anniversary in 2024. Since April 2026 the broadcast has been working through the Elbaf arc, which sits several hundred episodes past the Marineford material this figure draws from. The Netflix live-action adaptation has two seasons streaming, with a third planned for 2027.
Looking Ahead
S.H.Figuarts Sir Crocodile -Marineford- goes on sale September 19, 2026 at a suggested retail price of ¥12,100 including tax. Japanese preorders opened on April 3, 2026, so anyone coming to it now is working with whatever stock retailers have held back.
For international collectors, Tamashii Web maintains an English product page, and overseas hobby importers including HLJ have the figure listed for shipping outside Japan. No separate Western distribution date has been announced.
The manga is published in English by Viz Media, with recent chapters available free on Manga Plus. The anime's Elbaf arc is currently airing in Japan, and Netflix's live-action take returns for season 3 in 2027.
