Hello to all you subscribers of BAM Collectibles!
I hear you're about to see an awesome Luffy statue...
I will be watching too because I'm interested to see the statue.
I love Luffy! I hope you enjoyed the statue
and uh yeah keep uh keep watching because it's awesome!
Thank you so much colleen you do a fantastic job at voicing Luffy in the English
dub version of One Piece. Welcome back to BAM Collectibles and
I'm super stoked today to be able to showcase to you
a statue that represents all four gears of Luffy and in my opinion one of the
greatest statues of him! It's not the largest but
definitely one of the greatest made by BP Studio. On the front we'll see
Luffy's name and the numbers 1-2-3-4 representing the gears
and then a very cool straw hat pirates logo or coin on the back.
Surprisingly this base is actually not as heavy as you would imagine even
though it's really large i think a lot of the rocks on the
base are actually hollow inside. The large flat surface in the back will
soon be filled with a very large effect piece.
I know I said that the base wasn't as heavy as I thought it was but this
dang giant tidal wave that I'm going to be attaching to the base is freakishly heavy!
It attaches to the base via that strong steel rod and then
also the notch in the bottom that fits into those grooves at that back side of the base.
Very nice clear resin I love the
different shading from dark to light blue going to the top.
This absolutely huge Gear 3 fist is going to be
the very backbone of the statue. It is actually perfect to do a fist bump!
Towards the very top of this piece you will see the shoulder socket of Luffy
which will be used to attach to him later with that tiny steel rod.
They did an absolute masterful job with the paint job and sculpt.
It's really cool you can see the veins on the side there but I love the
coloration of both the black and purple and how they blend together so nicely on this.
Gear 4 fist coming in just as large and in charge as the Gear 3 is.
Once again I am speechless for the paint application on this fist and just the
overall massivity size of this thing. Just like Gear 3
is going to be it is considered to be one of the backbone pieces on the statue
that holds together a lot of different things and allows it to connect.
The square sections you see on the side
will either be used to attach some dust particles and rubble.
So I got a little bit of inside information for you, if you're into One Piece content statues...
I have a Gear 4, 1/4 scale, 3ft tall Luffy statue coming in the future when it releases
stay tuned i cannot wait to share that with everybody.
It will not be one from my personal collection but it will be a close friend
of mine and of the channel so very excited to
share that with everybody. This is also one of many effect pieces
that will be attached to the statue from Gear 3 coming crashing into the rocks.
Next there's an awesome dynamic looking
flag that is going to attach to the right side of the base
and is actually going to be used to allow Gear 2 Luffy to attach safely.
Zooming in we'll see some very cool textures were added all throughout the flag as well.
Gear 2 coming in looking nice hot and steamy!
What's extremely cool about this sculpt is it has a level of transparency almost
to it when we get close up. It's as if it was casted in clear
resin maybe a little bit of orange dye was added to it
but I'm just blown away at how they brought this to life and also
all these little kind of steam particles and effects were sculpted separately at
least about five or six of them were and you attach them individually.
All of the yellow belts or sashes that Luffy wears for each gear is actually
sculpted separately and added on via a magnet.
For now I'm gonna take this off because the installation process is a bit tricky
and i don't want it to accidentally fall off, break or snap.
To further accent the awesomeness of the Gear 3 crashing down into the rocks
like I mentioned there's going to be some of these fiery effect pieces that
they had sculpted. Now a question that I have for the
viewers is this is regular resin that was painted on to
look like fire but should they have maybe
casted this in clear resin instead? Would it have looked better overall?
To me it does actually make it look a bit too busy
but that's my personal opinion let me know in the comments below what your
thoughts are on it!
As I've said so far this statue is one of the most impressive statues I've ever
seen in person but it's also one of the most pain
in the butt to put together! This cloud particle piece that we're going through
right here is literally one of the trickiest things
I've ever had to install on a statue.
That notch with a magnet that we just saw actually attaches to the Gear 3 fist
towards the bottom and then the very top portion rests on the top of the wave.
I wanted to turn this sideways so I could show you how everything is angled.
Once that magnet's in there it does stay it's a little bit wobbly but as long as
it's resting on that top of the wave it shouldn't go anywhere.
For those of you that don't know BP Studio is actually the same studio
that produces some of the naruto statues that I share on the channel made by
Singularity Workshop. As you can see taking a step back this Gear 4 Luffy is pretty big.
Because his hair is rather pointy thankfully they did sculpt the head
sculpt separate and his straw hat also comes on with a nice magnet and keeps it all into place.
You'll see this right side cavity here that is going to later be used to attach
to the dust cloud. Again his sash is included separate this
one actually is not on with a magnet it kind of just sits in there and
friction holds it into place.
This is the second cloud particle you'll see on the very bottom there's a large
steel rod that is going to go into the shoulder
area the socket of the Gear 4 Luffy.
With that installed here comes the
hardest and most difficult installation of a statue that I've ever had to do.
So I'm going to take off his head and his hat to make sure that those
are safe and this socket up top here has to connect over here on that side and
then also obviously a shoulder needs to connect to the large
fist in the center but it's almost as if I needed three hands while doing this.
I'll try to show you how i went about it.
As deceiving as my videos might be this actually took about 30 or 40 takes to
get this in on camera correctly so you have to
connect that top cloud particle first a little bit and then a little bit with
the shoulder socket and keep on connecting them both
slowly until they do actually take, stick and firmly hold into place.
Next up we're going to be decorating that Gear 4 fist a little bit more
with some effect pieces of the dust cloud the rock and
rubble and it really does kind of take what's
going on to the next level and make it even more dynamic.
Gear 1 Luffy coming in with a pretty awesome pose now this is really scary
because other than the head being sculpted separately everything is
one giant piece. I would have thought that they would have taken that long
extended leg maybe sculpted it separately attached it
with a magnet but no they were gutsy enough to sculpt this whole
thing and the textures details all throughout are just immaculate.
He connects with that little kneecap there. It'll go right onto the base but
absolutely phenomenal how accurate and good this looks.
For those installing this be careful with the red vest that does like to
brush up against the white cloud which does not go well.
Gear 3 Luffy is nothing but perfection we can see that little socket there on
the shoulder which will later connect to the large black and purple fist and
hair, head sculpt, hat, everything was just
executed so well. His sash is connected via a magnet just like Gear 2.
The statue does not come with a certificate of authenticity instead
it has this edition size coin we can see it is number 345
of 666 sold that's actually a very large edition size
that's a lot to be made for an unlicensed statue.
Also came with this cool acrylic coin stand so you can display it proudly
right next to the statue. With everything now assembled and together I have to say
this is one of the most beautiful works of art i've ever seen how they
balance all four gears together on this statue
it's just absolutely mind-blowing. Thank you so much to my members the
intro that we had in this video that had the actual english voice actor
of Luffy is able to happen because of amazing
people like you that give back in a way that allows me to pursue opportunities
like that so thank you so much for all that you do!
