Fans can now preorder a stunning collectible statue of One Piece's Poison Pink.
Available on Sideshow, the Vinsmoke Reiju figurine retails for an impressive $685 and stands just short of two feet tall. The item showcases her battle uniform with a butterfly wing and a wing made from liquid poison jutting from her back. Her signature 6 tattoos can be seen emblazoned across her thighs.
Beloved One Piece Characters as Collectible Figures
The only daughter of the Vinsmoke family isn't the only popular One Piece character who has recently inspired expensive collectibles. For example, Sideshow is also accepting preorders for a Boa Hancock figurine that comes with a price tag of over $800. The statue depicts the Snake Princess wearing her signature attire of a colorful sarong skirt and a dark red blouse with a deep V-neck. It also references her Mero Mero no Mi Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, which allows her to transform anyone attracted to her to stone.
Moreover, Bentham of the Wild (aka Mr. 2 Bon Clay) and his colorful sense of fashion have been immortalized in a figure that retails for $296. The item sees the former member of Baroque Works and the new leader of Newkama Land wearing his flamboyant, ballet-inspired outfit with a threatening sneer on his face. While Bentham was originally introduced as an antagonist, the gender-non-conforming pirate eventually develops a deep friendship with protagonist Monkey D. Luffy and actually sacrifices himself for the future King of the Pirates during both the Arabasta and Impel Down arcs.
Of course, Eiichiro Oda's beloved story doesn't only inspire companies looking to leverage One Piece's popularity to turn a profit; it also ignites the creativity of fans who craft their own content for the franchise, particularly cosplay. For example, Instagram user Mia_raspberrycosplays joined forces with fellow cosplayer Linichii to accurately bring to life Nami, the Straw Hats' weather-controlling navigator. The two-for-one cosplay recreates the character's designs from before and after the story's time skip.
Similarly, a One Piece fan on Reddit perfectly captured Vinsmoke Sanji's cool personality. As the chef of the Straw Hat Pirates, Sanji is responsible for keeping the crew well-fed. One of the many commentators on the post asked the cosplayer if he could cook, and he responded, asserting, "I make a mean Pop Tart."
Oda's One Piece manga is distributed in North America by VIZ Media, and the anime adaptation by Toei Animation is available to stream on Crunchyroll, Netflix and Hulu.
