One Piece x Panson Works Soft Vinyl Figure

Banpresto made an agreement with Panson Works to produce several lines of figures using the easily recognizable visual style of Panson Works.

As the very peculiar design style of Panson Works gained an acclaimed success in Japan, this style has been applied to several shounen series characters, One Piece being only one among them all.

Those figure lines are all made under the same brand: One Piece⊗Panson Works, which currently holds 3 different lines. They were all produced as prizes for the UFO catchers that can be found in game centers.
