"There are so many One Piece figures — where do I even start?" "What's the difference between Banpresto, MegaHouse, and Bandai?" "Should I buy a prize figure or save up for a P.O.P. scale?"

One Piece is the best-selling manga of all time, with over 520 million copies in circulation worldwide — and the figure market reflects that scale. Every major manufacturer has an active One Piece lineup. Characters from every arc are represented. And with the Final Saga now in its final chapters, 2026 is one of the most active years yet for new releases.

Main Manufacturers: What Each One Does
Banpresto
The highest-volume One Piece figure producer. Banpresto runs multiple concurrent lines at accessible price points, covering virtually every character across every arc:
- WCF (World Collectable Figure) — small (~7–9 cm), affordable, every character covered
- DXF — medium size (~17–20 cm), solid sculpt, the bread-and-butter prize figure line
- GRANDISTA — large format (~28–33 cm), strong shelf presence
- Ichibansho — the top of Banpresto's One Piece lineup; quality close to entry-level scale figures, often with dynamic poses and effect parts
- Chronicle Master Stars Piece — collector-tier Banpresto; highly detailed, larger format
If you're starting a One Piece collection, Banpresto is the right entry point.
MegaHouse – Portrait of Pirates (P.O.P.)
The Portrait of Pirates series is the gold standard for One Piece scale figures. Running since 2002, P.O.P. has released figures for virtually every major character across several sub-lines:
- P.O.P. Sailing Again — main line, ~1/8 scale, ¥8,000–¥15,000
- P.O.P. NEO-MAXIMUM — larger, higher detail, ¥15,000–¥25,000
- P.O.P. NEO-DX — dynamic poses, key character moments
- P.O.P. LIMITED EDITION — exclusive colorways, often lottery or retailer-specific
- Sweet Style Pirates — female characters (Nami, Robin, Boa Hancock, Perona) in stylized poses
If you're buying one quality figure per character, this is the line.
Bandai – S.H.Figuarts and Figuarts ZERO
Bandai handles two distinct lines:
S.H.Figuarts — articulated action figures with wide range of motion, swappable hands, and effect parts. Best for fans who want to pose and interact with their figures. Price range: ¥8,000–¥15,000.
Figuarts ZERO — fixed-pose display figures, larger and more detailed than S.H.Figuarts. The "Extra Battle" series produces some of the most impressive single-figure pieces available — the Kaido Extra Battle and Gear 5 Gigant releases are standout collector pieces. Price range: ¥10,000–¥30,000+.
Good Smile Company
Nendoroids and POP UP PARADE cover the main Straw Hat crew. One Piece Nendoroids are particularly popular for displaying the whole crew together. POP UP PARADE offers a clean, affordable fixed-pose option at ¥4,000–¥6,000.
All 10 Straw Hat Crew: Best Figures
Monkey D. Luffy
The most-represented character in the One Piece figure market. Gear 5 (Sun God Nika) has dominated releases since 2023 and remains the priority purchase in 2026 — white hair, exaggerated rubber expressions, and cloud-burst effect parts make for exceptional display figures at every price point.
- S.H.Figuarts Gear 5 — articulated with effect parts and alternate faces; the definitive action figure version
- Figuarts ZERO Gear 5 Gigant — massive, fixed-pose, absolute shelf centerpiece
- Banpresto Ichibansho Luffy Gear 5 — the best budget version
Top pick: Figuarts ZERO Extra Battle Gear 5 Gigant Budget pick: Banpresto Ichibansho Gear 5 Luffy
Roronoa Zoro
The second most popular character and arguably the one with the best action poses. Three-sword stance, Onigiri, and post-Wano versions are all well-represented.
- MegaHouse P.O.P. NEO-MAXIMUM Wano — collector benchmark, exceptional haori and blade detail
- S.H.Figuarts Zoro — best poseable option
- Banpresto GRANDISTA Zoro — strong budget pick with real shelf impact
Top pick: MegaHouse P.O.P. NEO-MAXIMUM Roronoa Zoro (Wano) Budget pick: Banpresto GRANDISTA Roronoa Zoro
Nami
Strong representation in both prize and scale categories. MegaHouse P.O.P. handles her Clima-Tact poses well with excellent paint on her warm color palette.
Top pick: MegaHouse P.O.P. Nami (Sailing Again or NEO-DX) Budget pick: Banpresto Glitter & Glamours Nami
Usopp
Fewer premium figures than the main trio, but MegaHouse P.O.P. covers him well. His sniper pose and Sogeking alternate identity make for distinctive displays.
Top pick: MegaHouse P.O.P. Usopp Budget pick: Banpresto DXF Usopp
Sanji
His Black Leg and Ifrit Jambe Wano forms have spawned strong figure releases. Watch for Final Saga Sanji releases in 2026.
Top pick: MegaHouse P.O.P. Sanji (Wano version) Budget pick: Banpresto Ichibansho Sanji
Tony Tony Chopper
Chopper works uniquely well in smaller formats. The Nendoroid Chopper with alternate Monster Point form is a fan favorite. His WCF versions are among the most charming small figures in the One Piece lineup.
Top pick: Nendoroid Tony Tony Chopper (with Monster Point parts) Budget pick: Banpresto WCF Chopper
Nico Robin
Robin's Hana Hana no Mi ability (multiple arms) creates visually striking figure designs. MegaHouse P.O.P. NEO-MAXIMUM Robin is widely praised. Banpresto Glitter & Glamours handles her color palette well for the budget range.
Top pick: MegaHouse P.O.P. NEO-MAXIMUM Nico Robin Budget pick: Banpresto Glitter & Glamours Robin
Franky
Franky's cyborg bulk works well in larger formats. MegaHouse P.O.P. covers him in both pre- and post-timeskip versions.
Top pick: MegaHouse P.O.P. Franky (Post-Timeskip) Budget pick: Banpresto DXF Franky
Brook
Brook's skeletal design renders surprisingly well in figure form. His Soul King form (with guitar) is particularly popular. Banpresto WCF is a surprisingly effective representation at minimal cost.
Top pick: MegaHouse P.O.P. Brook Budget pick: Banpresto WCF Brook
Jinbe
Excellent figure options following his formal induction into the crew. Banpresto Ichibansho Jinbe (Wano version) is the best accessible option.
Top pick: MegaHouse P.O.P. Jinbe Budget pick: Banpresto Ichibansho Jinbe
Key Villains and Supporting Characters
Shanks
Shanks' role in the Final Saga has made him one of the most-released characters in 2025–2026. His figures consistently sell quickly. If Shanks is your favorite, act fast on new releases. The MegaHouse P.O.P. NEO-DX version — cape, scar, and sword pose — is a genuine collector centerpiece.
Kaido
Both human form and Dragon form figures exist. The Figuarts ZERO Extra Battle Kaido vs. Luffy diorama piece is one of the most impressive One Piece figures ever produced. Banpresto GRANDISTA Dragon Form Kaido is a strong budget pick with real shelf impact.
Portgas D. Ace
Ace remains consistently popular. His flame effect parts are visually spectacular at every price point — both Banpresto and Figuarts ZERO handle the fire motif exceptionally well.
Trafalgar Law
Law has some of the strongest non-Straw-Hat figure options. Both S.H.Figuarts and MegaHouse P.O.P. have produced excellent Law figures across multiple versions.
Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard)
With Blackbeard at the center of the Final Saga, new figures are releasing regularly in 2026. Watch for scale figure announcements as the arc concludes.
Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom)
Her imposing scale and Napoleon sword pose work well in large-format figures. Banpresto Ichibansho is widely available; MegaHouse P.O.P. handles her distinctive design with excellent detail.
What Is Ichiban Kuji? (And Should You Buy Ichibansho?)
Ichiban Kuji is Banpresto's lottery-style merchandise system, originally sold through Japanese convenience stores and hobby shops where you drew a ticket for a random prize tier. Many items now sell individually as "Ichibansho" at standard retail — no lottery required.
However, production is limited and popular grades sell out quickly. The A Prize figures in recent One Piece Ichiban Kuji lots are genuinely impressive — larger than standard prize figures with noticeably better sculpting. If you see an Ichibansho figure you want, don't wait.

One Piece Final Saga: What to Watch in 2026
- New Shanks releases — every major manufacturer has tied releases to his arc role
- Blackbeard premium options — scale and Figuarts expanding
- Imu and Gorosei — first figures appearing for previously faceless characters
- Commemorative sets — diorama and group releases marking the series' finale
- Gear 5 Luffy still in full production — new variants and colorways continuing
If you're interested in Final Saga characters specifically, watch pre-order announcements closely — limited releases tied to the finale will move fast.
How to Display Your One Piece Collection
Group by arc or crew for visual coherence. A full Straw Hat crew shelf — one figure per member, same line — looks dramatically better than a mixed display. P.O.P. Sailing Again or DXF covers all 10 members. A Wano shelf (Luffy, Zoro, Sanji in kimono) or a Marineford shelf (Ace, Whitebeard, Shanks) creates strong narrative groupings.
Size contrast works. A large GRANDISTA or P.O.P. NEO-MAXIMUM at the back, standard P.O.P. or DXF in the middle, WCF or Nendoroid at the front adds natural depth.
Lighting recommendation: warm white LED strips enhance One Piece's warm color palette — Luffy's red vest, Nami's orange hair, Zoro's green haori all read better under warm light than cool white.
See the full figure display guide for cabinet and shelf setups.
How to Avoid Fake One Piece Figures
One Piece bootlegs are widespread, particularly for Luffy, Zoro, and Ace. Telltale signs:
- Price that seems too good (a P.O.P. scale figure for ¥2,000 is a counterfeit)
- Paint bleed on fine details — hair tips, sword edges, facial features
- Box printing that looks slightly off or uses incorrect copyright text
- Missing JAN barcode or incorrect manufacturer information on the box
See the full counterfeit figure detection guide for a complete pre-purchase checklist.
Buying One Piece Figures from Japan
Most One Piece figures are produced for the Japanese domestic market first:
- Japanese release dates are 2–6 months ahead of international retail
- Some figures are Japan-exclusive — particularly P.O.P. LIMITED EDITION, certain Ichiban Kuji grades, and lottery items
- Prices are lower buying from Japan directly, especially for prize figures (¥1,500–¥3,000 at source vs. significantly more internationally)
See the buying from Japan guide for the full process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best One Piece figure overall? For most collectors: MegaHouse P.O.P. NEO-MAXIMUM Roronoa Zoro (Wano) or Figuarts ZERO Extra Battle Gear 5 Luffy Gigant. Both are exceptional display pieces.
What is the best budget One Piece figure? Banpresto Ichibansho or GRANDISTA — the best value-to-quality ratio in the affordable range. DXF is reliable for any character at entry level.
What's the difference between P.O.P. and regular scale figures? P.O.P. (Portrait of Pirates) is MegaHouse's One Piece-specific scale figure line with decades of releases covering the full cast. Quality is consistently high and the figures are designed to look good displayed together.
Is S.H.Figuarts or P.O.P. better? Different purposes. S.H.Figuarts is better if you want to pose and interact. P.O.P. is better as a fixed display piece with higher sculpt detail. Both are excellent.
What One Piece figures are hardest to find? P.O.P. NEO-DX limited editions, Figuarts ZERO Extra Battle diorama pieces, and out-of-print P.O.P. Sailing Again releases. Check secondhand markets for these.
Are there good One Piece figures for every character? Yes — One Piece has the most comprehensive figure coverage of any anime franchise. Every Straw Hat member, most major villains, and many supporting characters have multiple options at multiple price points.
