One Piece Super Deformed Figures



Since 2002, Bandai releases Super Deformed (or SD) rendition of One Piece characters. Figures have a size of about 5 cm tall and are always released along a candy, called ramune. There are 2 main series, 1 side-set and 2 special event sets.

Trivia
On October 29th 2003, the image song titled Jungle Fever was released as a single, in a regular and a special version. The special version was a package bundled with 7 figures representing the 7 Straw Hat members at the time. They were reproduction of the same figures found in World 3, but with an alternative color scheme.

Figure Collection series
Each part of the Figure Collection series, sometimes shortened to FC, is focused on a particular arc of One Piece, reproducing some of the mugiwara and characters introduced during the arc.

FC is the longuest mini-figure series, with an average release every 6 months.

At the time FC1 came out, a lot of shops listed this set as World 4. The same thing happened to FC2, listed as World 5. Indeed, the World series did come up before and shared the same characteristics as the current FC series. But after FC3 was released, it became obvious that Bandai intended FC to be a different series from the original World one, despite Bandai left numbering out after FC3 (the only exception is FC8).

From FC4 and onwards, each set comes with a unique name. As this series is only intended for Japanese domestic market, Bandai didn't give out official English names. Thus, this article gives a direct translation from Japanese. Shops may call them under different but close enough references.

Shonen Jump 40th Anniversary
For the 40th anniversary of Shonen Jump, Bandai released several figure sets featuring crossover of several Jump titles.

 * Price: 280¥ (294¥ with VAT)
 * Content: one figure, one stand and a ramune (kind of candy) inside each box

Dragon Ball x One Piece x Naruto Unrivaled 3x3 Figure
