Chara Fortune is a series of small charms (3 cm tall) produced by the Japanese company MegaHouse. Those charms are small figures (literally designed as mascot in Japanese) representing super deformed versions of anime or manga characters, and with each charm comes a fortune note, much like Chinese fortune cookies.
The first set, released in 2005, featured characters from Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny. Ever since, MegaHouse has randomly released sets from popular franchises such as Bleach, Gintama, Naruto, etc.
One Piece's first Chara Fortune set was released in 2008. Since then, the number of releases has increased. While it originally included only the main characters of the manga, the series has recently expanded to encompass a wider variety of characters from the latest arcs.
