One Piece isn't new by any stretch of the imagination, the long-running series kicking off more than 25 years ago. However, the manga likely has a lot of new fans right now as for the first time, part of its story has been given the live-action treatment. Dropping on Netflix two weeks ago, season one has already been smashing records held by heavy hitters like Wednesday and Stranger Things, pulling in millions of viewers. Now some of those viewers can pick up a couple of new One Piece Funko Pop! figures.
The reveal that One Piece now has a lot more Funko Pops was revealed as part of this week's Wednesday Pop drop (via ComicBook.com). While not directly inspired by the Netflix adaptation and its success, the timing of their arrival couldn't be better. All nine of the new figures are from One Piece's Wano arc, and they are available to pre-order right now. Release dates vary depending on the Pop! with some shipping as soon as October 22, 2023.
