Shopping Guide
There are a lot of One Piece toys sold with sweets, but it could be said that “One Piece Styling” is especially popular even among them. It is a figure series that – due to its constant selling pace, the new characters of the original manga who are added to the lineup instantly, and its realistic modeling and painting – is popular not only among One Piece fans but hobby fans as well.
The total amount sold of the series will surpass 10 million in July, and if counted from “One Piece Figure Collection,” a series before “Styling,” this year is its 10th anniversary. To commemorate that, it was decided that the third part of the “Anniversary Year Project,” “Super One Piece Styling Suit & Dress Style 1,” and the fourth part, “Super One Piece Styling Suit & Dress Style 2,” will be sold consecutively in September and October.
“Style 1” and “Style 2” both include four kinds of figures, all of which cost 609 yen including tax. These figures are the 3D versions of the original illustrations in which the Straw Hat Pirates are wearing suits and dresses.
Furthermore, the production of a commercial for the “Super One Piece Styling” series was also decided upon in synch with the release of part one, “Super One Piece Styling Kimono Style” (5 kinds altogether, 998 yen including tax), which is scheduled for July 30. The commercial is planned to begin broadcasting on television at the end of July.
