Needless to say, it’s a good time to be a One Piece fan. The live action One Piece series recently burned it up on Netflix and the Wano Country arc wrapped after 4 years. Funko also released yet another wave of Pop figures last week that includes figures of Carrot, Katakuri, Luffy Gear 5 (with a chance at a GITD Chase), and a super-sized Kaido in Man Beast Form. This week, they’ve added a gorgeous Pop of Yamato (Man Beast Form) in standard and exclusive variants. Pre-orders for all of these Pops can be found below.

The new One Piece Funko Pop wave follows hot on the heels of a series of figures inspired by the Wano arc, and you can find details about that wave below.

One Piece’s Plans for 2024

During Jump Festa 2023, One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda teasing the anime and manga’s plans for 2024, “Wano reached its emotional conclusion and now we’re heading to Egghead!!..’Course that doesn’t mean I’ll be sittin’ on my hands when it comes to the manga. So many characters went through some significant challenges this year. Their world can be a truly terrifying place. If Luffy and crew manage to make it out of Egghead safe and sound…do you think they might go to…THAT island? I mean, I thought up a route for them that doesn’t involve it but…I’m not sure I could stop Luffy, even if I wanted to.” 

Then Oda dropped a massive tease for something big coming in the franchise this year, “If they do go, you that means there’s gonna be a no-holds-barred struggle to obtain…THAT thing! And last but not least…the long awaited clash between THAT PERSON and THAT OTHER PERSON just might have an unexpected outcome! It’s time! Get hype for next year’s One Piece and the anime’s 25th anniversary celebration!”
