Set sail with the Straw Hat Pirates and build one of the most recognisable ships in anime with the Bandai Spirits One Piece Grand Ship Collection – Thousand Sunny Model Kit.
Part of Bandai's compact Grand Ship Collection, this plastic model recreates the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hat Pirates' famous vessel, in a colourful and display-friendly format. Its distinctive design includes the radiant lion-head figurehead, wooden-style hull, bright red and white details, green deck and the ship's unmistakable Jolly Roger sail.
Designed with accessibility in mind, the kit uses Bandai's convenient snap-fit assembly system, allowing the parts to connect without glue. The components are already moulded in multiple colours, while the included marking stickers add further finishing details without requiring the model to be painted.
Once completed, collectors can choose between two display styles. Present the complete ship on its standard blue base or use the included transparent blue wave-effect pieces in a waterline-style configuration to create the impression of the Thousand Sunny sailing across the Grand Line.
Compact, colourful and beginner-friendly, it's an excellent model kit for One Piece fans who want to experience the fun of building without committing to a large or highly complex scale model.

🏴☠️ Build the Thousand Sunny
The Thousand Sunny is one of the defining symbols of the Straw Hat Pirates' adventures.
Bandai's Grand Ship Collection transforms the famous vessel into a compact plastic model while retaining many of the visual elements that make the Sunny immediately recognisable.
At the bow sits its cheerful lion-head figurehead, while the colourful hull combines wood-like brown sections with bold red and white elements.
🦁 Iconic Lion-Head Figurehead
One of the model's most distinctive features is the Thousand Sunny's famous lion figurehead.
Its bright and cheerful appearance gives the vessel its unmistakable personality while concealing the powerful Gaon Cannon within the ship's fictional design.
Bandai recreates this recognisable bow section as a focal point of the completed model.
⛵ Detailed Straw Hat Pirate Ship
Despite its compact size, the model incorporates many recognisable details from the Thousand Sunny.
Highlights include the large curved white mainsail featuring the Straw Hat Pirates' Jolly Roger, green grass-covered deck, lookout structure, side paddle-wheel details and distinctive aft section.
These elements give the completed model plenty to explore without requiring a large amount of shelf space.
🌊 Two Display Options
One of the kit's most attractive features is its versatile display system.
Full Hull Display
Assemble the complete Thousand Sunny and position it on the included blue oval display base for a clean traditional model presentation.
Waterline & Wave Display
Alternatively, configure the ship with the included transparent blue wave-effect pieces to create the appearance of the Thousand Sunny travelling across the sea.
The translucent effects add an instant miniature diorama feel without requiring collectors to build their own water scenery.
🔧 Beginner-Friendly Snap-Fit Assembly
You don't need to be an experienced scale modeller to enjoy building the Thousand Sunny.
Bandai uses a snap-fit construction system, meaning the model's parts are designed to press together during assembly without requiring glue for the standard build.
The parts are also moulded in the ship's principal colours, so painting is not required to achieve a colourful finished model.
A supplied sheet of decorative stickers provides additional markings and finishing details.
🎨 Great for Beginners – Customisable for Experienced Modellers
Straight from the box, the Thousand Sunny is designed to produce an attractive result without painting.
Beginners can simply assemble the coloured components and apply the supplied stickers.
More experienced hobbyists can also use the kit as a foundation for additional detailing, painting, panel work or weathering to create their own customised version of the Straw Hat Pirates' ship.
📏 Compact Bookshelf-Friendly Size
At approximately 13–15cm long when assembled, the Thousand Sunny has been designed with compact display spaces in mind.
Its smaller footprint makes it ideal for positioning:
- Alongside One Piece manga volumes
- Between anime figures
- Inside display cabinets
- On desks and bookshelves
- Within larger Straw Hat Pirate collections
You get the satisfaction of building a model without needing to dedicate a large display area to the finished ship.
