Bandai’s Tamashii Nations is diving deeper into the world of One Piece with Luffy’s Archive of Adventure Vol. 3, the latest entry in its nostalgic mini-figure line celebrating Monkey D. Luffy’s journey across manga, anime, games, and beyond.
For those unfamiliar, think of Luffy’s Archive of Adventure as a collectible “memory capsule” series. Each figure reimagines Luffy through iconic moments and aesthetics pulled from across the franchise’s massive history, everything from early manga appearances to modern adaptations, including live-action and video game collaborations. Vol. 3 even taps into the fan-favorite fighting title One Piece Grand Battle!, giving longtime fans some deep-cut representation.
The figures themselves are small but detailed, standing roughly 3.4 inches tall (about 1/20th of Luffy’s height). Like previous entries, Vol. 3 is sold in blind-box format, meaning collectors won’t know which design they’ve pulled until they crack it open—a format that’s both exciting and occasionally frustrating.
Looking back, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 quietly built a strong following among collectors. Both waves released in Japan in the mid-2020s through Bandai’s collector channels, typically retailing around $8–$12 per individual blind box, or roughly $80–$120 for a full case set. As expected, certain rarer designs from those waves have since climbed in value on the secondary market, especially complete sets or unopened cases.

Is there value for collectors with Luffy’s Archive of Adventure Vol. 3?
From a pure investment standpoint, these aren’t guaranteed gold mines, but they do have upside. Limited distribution, franchise popularity, and the blind-box element all contribute to long-term collectibility. Monkey D. Luffy remains one of the most recognizable anime characters globally, and anything tied to major milestones or collaborations tends to age well with fans.
On the secondary market, Luffy’s Archive of Adventure figures, particularly from Vol. 1, show solid resale value on eBay. Individual figures tied to Monkey D. Luffy are consistently selling in the $30 to $35 range, with some listings pushing closer to $45–$50 depending on the design and seller expectations. That’s a notable jump from the original retail price of around $10 per blind box.
Meanwhile, complete sealed sets of 10 figures have been listed and sold for roughly $150 to $170, giving collectors a premium option for securing the full lineup. Overall, the aftermarket suggests steady demand rather than volatile spikes, making this a strong example of a collectible line that offers reliable appreciation without crossing into ultra-rare territory.
For Vol. 3, pre-orders are already popping up through specialty retailers and Bandai’s official channels, with pricing expected to land in a similar range, about $10 per box or around $100 for a full set of 10. You can also expect listings on aftermarket platforms like eBay shortly after release, especially once collectors start hunting specific variants.
