Ace Figure — Fire Fist Dynamic Effects
Top Pick This figure depicts Ace in one of his most iconic battle poses: Fire Fist, his right arm engulfed in flames and ready to strike. The dynamic flame effects—sculpted in translucent orange and red resin—extend across the entire arm, creating a silhouette that radiates raw power.
Ace's tattoos (the "ASCE" on his arm and Whitebeard's symbol on his back) are reproduced with care. His expression—determined, almost arrogant, typical of the character—is faithful to Oda's artwork. This is the Ace figure we recommend first for any fan looking for a piece that is both spectacular and emotionally powerful.

Ace Figure — On His Mera Mera no Mi Devil Fruit
Unique Pose A more contemplative and symbolic version: Ace is depicted leaning on a representation of the Mera Mera no Mi, the Devil Fruit that granted him his flame powers. This more composed pose contrasts with the Fire Fist’s dynamism and offers a strong narrative dimension—the bond between Ace and his fruit, passed on to Sabo after his death.
Aesthetically, this figurine features warm tones dominated by the orange and red of the Mera Mera, making the overall piece particularly inviting. It is an ideal choice for collectors who prefer figurines with a story to tell rather than pure action poses. Read more on this topic: Sabo and the Mera Mera no Mi — Ace’s legacy.
