One Piece is widely recognized throughout Japan as the most popular manga currently available, which can easily be understood due to its compelling story line and well-written characters. The series has never stopped building momentum since its early days in 1997, and has now become a worldwide sensation selling more than 345 million volumes. And of course, with any popular franchise, the demand for licensed merchandise is never far behind.
The most popular One Piece products to collect are the amazingly detailed character figures being produced in Japan. More than just toys, these scale replicas of Monkey D. Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates are a One Piece collector’s dream. Currently, the three major companies producing collectibles are MegaHouse, Banpresto, and Bandai.
MegaHouse – Portrait of Pirates (P.O.P)
The Portrait of Pirates figurines produced by MegaHouse are considered by many to be the highest quality One Piece collectibles on the market. Most are produced as 1/8 scale models and come with interchangeable accessories. Product lines produced by MegaHouse include Excellent Models, Neo DX (Deluxe), P.O.P Strong Edition, and P.O.P Sailing Again; each line offers different features with Neo DX being the highest quality collectible line produced by MegaHouse and P.O.P Strong Editions and P.O.P Sailing Again focusing on character realizations based on specific story arcs.
