One Piece Merchandise

Growth and Success
In Japan, One Piece can be considered a stable product line and, in overall, most sold merchandises receive good sales. The most common manufacturer of One Piece toylines is Banpresto and most goods are manufactured in China and/or Taiwan where both labour and manufacturing costs are cheap. Because of interest in selling in Korea, many One Piece products carry the Korean One Piece Logo over the normal Japanese logo, which features a black flag behind the normal One Piece logo. Outside of Japan, most products are imported from Japan, either by subcontracted companies or directly by manufacturers themselves.

Arguably, due to the failure of One Piece in America and lack of promotion from 4Kids, related merchandises do not get any success there. Toylines that do make it to high street retailers are often seen in "bargain bins". Related products are also absent from many toyline stock catalogs, when other anime toylines such as those derived from Bleach or Naruto series are found in great numbers.

One Piece toylines have also failed to become a success in the UK, more so than in America. In the UK, related products are seldom seen being stocked in shops. Most fans seeking One Piece merchandises have to seek out specialist shops, buy them from conventions or self-import them from online sources.

Since FUNimation took over the series, and with the release of their dubbed version, a whole new range of merchandises is due out shortly, as promotion for the series. It still remains unknown how successful their efforts will be.

It is possible that FUNimation has given the merchandise license to Toynami, a company who's currently releasing US duplicates of Excellent Model's Bleach PVC figure line. They're believed to hold the license due to a One Piece product they've revealed at the 2008 Toy Fair, book-ends.

Companies Producing Merchandise
Several companies produce toys and other related merchandises, as such as mirrors, school furniture, video games or food.

2 of the main companies releasing One Piece products are Bandai and Banpresto, wellknown in Japan to produce toys for every acclaimed Shonen Jump titles. Nevertheless, the most acclaimed One Piece toyline is the Portrait of Pirates series, produced by Megahouse, a company specialized in producing figures.

A number of figurines were produced by Mattel, a toy making company that is based in China. Due to safety problems with a number of product lines produced by the company, on 14th August 2007 a number of toys were recalled. Amongst the recalled products were 345,000 Batman and "One Piece" action figures.

Figurines
Bandai and Banpresto have released and are still releasing a lot of figure series related to One Piece. Bandai began to release merchandises in 2000, right after the broadcast of the anime, and since 2002 never failed to flood the market with One Piece goodies.

Generally speaking, Bandai is focused on small to mid-size figures, sold with candies (the famous Ramune), while Banpresto produces mid to big size figures that can be caught in various UFO machines. Apart from those 2 companies, there's also Megahouse, which releases big size / high quality figures under the Portrait of Pirates brandline.

Size ranges: small = 3 to 7 cm tall, mid = 10 to 17 cm tall, big = 22+ cm tall.
