In the latest buzz from the toy industry, Hot Toys is expanding its horizon by introducing a new collection inspired by Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the popular manga series, “One Piece.” With the first season now available for fans to binge, this new range of figures promises to elevate the excitement surrounding the series. As Luffy’s adventure to uncover the legendary treasure intensifies, the collection ensures that fans have a piece of this epic journey.
Luffy Leads the Charge in the Collection
Monkey D. Luffy, portrayed by Iñaki Godoy, is the first character to be honored in this collection. Luffy’s dream of becoming a pirate sets the premise of the series. As he strives to stand out among the revered captains and sailors, securing the world’s most coveted treasure remains his primary goal. Hot Toys, known for its attention to detail, has designed the Luffy figure with a pioneering rolling eyeball mechanism, enabling collectors to adjust Luffy’s eye direction. But that’s not all. The figure is accompanied by interchangeable hair, a signature straw hat, a set of versatile arms, and an elongated right leg. This allows enthusiasts to replicate Luffy’s iconic rubber-infused combat moves.
Roronoa Zoro: The Fearsome Swordsman
Following Luffy is the formidable Roronoa Zoro, played by Mackenyu. Zoro’s aspiration is clear: to be recognized as the greatest swordsman ever. However, the race to obtain the One Piece might challenge his plans. This figure comes with dual headsculpts – one that displays a stern expression and another featuring a sword between his teeth. Hot Toys’ rolling eyeball innovation is a key feature in both sculpts. Completing his look is a pristine white robe, contrasting black trousers, and a belt adorned with sword sheaths. The figure is armed with three swords, offering fans the opportunity to recreate Zoro’s legendary swordsmanship. Those eager to get their hands on these figures can expect them to be shipped out next year. However, Sideshow is currently accepting pre-orders for the duo.
Setting Sail with ‘The Going Merry’
As summer draws to a close, Netflix has poured significant resources into the premiere season of “One Piece.” With eight episodes currently available, fans can follow Luffy’s tale, which gradually unfolds. Introduced as an isolated orphan, it will be intriguing to watch Luffy’s transformation as he integrates into a newfound family. Emily Rudd’s Nami harbors ambitions of her own – to draft a map detailing the world in its entirety. To make her dream come true, she will require unwavering support. This season is a testament to camaraderie, where once-misfit characters discover their true tribe. They navigate through a world punctuated with high-octane battles and dramatic confrontations.
