We Build the LEGO Going Merry Pirate Ship from 'One Piece'

But LEGO besides designs fictional boats highly well. The longstanding LEGO Pirate Ship has been connected merchantability since June 2020, and it is inactive 1 of LEGO's finest sets. And this acceptable – a recreation of the Going Merry Pirate Ship from Netflix's 'One Piece' – continues that trend. Ship skipper Monkey D. Luffy is an unconventional pirate captain, and this LEGO exemplary accurately captures his innocent, whimsical attack to life. It is the friendliest looking pirate vessel I've ever seen, with rounded-off angles, chunky decorations and hidden treasures beneath deck.

The acceptable consists of 10 bags and 1 tiny expanse of stickers. First, you physique the bottommost of the boat, which includes the ship's galley and quarters. You don't cognize it yet, but you're besides gathering the hollowed-out areas wherever you volition yet spot hidden crates and the precocious decks of the ship, which descent successful easy to make a seamless, singular structure. The vessel has the ethos of 1 of LEGO's modular buildings – you tin easy instrumentality it isolated and enactment it backmost unneurotic for amended interactivity.

The acceptable is filled with tiny details and nods to the show. There's a pizza successful the galley for Monkey to eat. There's a monolithic sheep figurehead hanging disconnected the ship's fore. There's Nami's tangerine trees astatine its aft. There's a postulation of Wanted posters beneath deck. Four random ones travel with this set; determination are 8 collectible posters successful total.

Last are the masts, positive a monolithic sail decorated with a straw hat-wearing Jolly Roger. The riggings, alternatively than being the thin, achromatic thread of LEGO's much accepted vessel models, are integrative cords that springiness the content of rope. This allows for plentifulness of swashbuckling photograph opportunities, and the aforesaid goes for the remainder of the ship. The vessel is wide enough, with capable exposed LEGO studs connected its deck, to make elaborate scenes.

Aiding successful this effort is the minifigure inclusion of Season's 1 full five-person pirate crew. This is not 1 of those 'gacha' situations wherever they dispersed the main characters retired implicit a fig of sets, pressuring you to walk more. You get Monkey D. Luffy (with his signature straw hat), Zoro (with his 3 swords), Nami (with her bo staff), Usopp (with his slingshot) and Sanji. My favourite is Zoro, whose 3rd sword comes with an attachment that allows him to 'hold' it successful his mouth.

LEGO One Piece is the latest franchise to look from the LEGO/Netflix partnership. It is based connected the live-action Netflix adaptation of the aforesaid name, which is itself based connected the long-running manga that launched successful 1997. The archetypal LEGO One Piece motorboat consists of 2 Brickheadz (one of Monkey T. Luffy, the different of Buggy the Clown) and 5 ample sets.

The Going Merry Pirate Ship is the flagship acceptable (pun intended) of the bunch. It's a simple, straightforward build, with a cartoonish look that makes it look much plucky than imposing; it's befitting of the ragtag misfits that sail nether its banner. And assuming determination volition beryllium aboriginal LEGO/Netflix One Piece sets (the archetypal anime is successful its 21st play and inactive going strong), this acceptable – similar the Season 1 that inspired it – makes a bully archetypal content and promises large things to come.

LEGO One Piece Going Merry Pirate Ship, Set #75639, retails for $139.99, and it is composed of 1376 pieces. It is disposable present astatine Amazon and the LEGO Store.
