A ramune, the little candy that goes along with every figure.
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.
On October 29, 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 longest 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 did not give out official English names. Thus, this article gives a direct translation from Japanese. Shops may call them under different but close enough references.

Dragon Ball x One Piece x Naruto Unrivaled 3x3 Figure[]
This set featured 3 of the most popular shonen titles at the time and in the top 5 of all-time best-selling titles in Japan. Strictly speaking, this set is not a crossover as each character rendition does not change from their canonical one.
Each series is represented by 4 figures, whose stands can be combined to make a unique circular stand.
