One Piece

One Piece is this Jap manga by Eiichiro Oda which started in 1997. It is a pirate adventure comic about the adventures of this kid Luffy on the search for the ultimate treasure, One Piece. Along the way he forms a team of crew, currently 9 people which in order of appearance swordsman Zoro, navigator Nami, marksman Usopp, cook Sanji, Doctor Chopper, archaeologist Robin, shipwright Franky and musician Brook. They are named the Straw Hat Pirates and each character has their own role to play and different powers and abilities. The story is filled with action, humour as well as lots of creativity that constantly intrigues readers. Till date its latest book is Vol 60 and more than 200 million copies of One Piece have been sold so far with Vol 60 3.4 million copies of first print. I really love the story and the ideas the author comes up with for the story. Im trying to focus my collection mainly on One Piece stuff nowadays, which has really lots of different kinds. Currently the best line of One Piece merchandise is the Portrait of Pirates POP by Megahouse, which I collect, as well as a few other line of items which are really good like Grandline Men, World Collectible Figure, Mini-big Head etc. Will try to update interesting and nice items on One Piece now and then. Will start off by listing some interesting customs I have seen, which some are freaking expensive as well.

This is just the Ban Presto Game Prize Super DX Boa Hancock snake moved onto Megahouse's POP Boa Hancock. The Super DX Boa is now pretty hard to get after Ban Presto decides to stop letting its arcade prizes leak out of Japan or specifically the arcade machines.Well this Black Bleard looks interesting although not that great I find but not too bad with the Devil Fruit effect..
This is a custom Boa Hancock made from POP except the costume is changed but closed at a freaking 73000 yen!! Custom of Shiki which so far no company has produced a full sized figure of it, thus build from its own. It was closed at 48,500 yen. Another great custom of White Beard before his death, with wound marks and blood, modified from Kuji Whitebeard. Admiral Kizaru is made from scratch having no figures of that size currently as well. Time Skip Zoro! Looks really good and highly detailed, current price is 73,000 yen but 2 more days till closing. *update: item closed at 121,000 yen! omfg!!! These are works by this guy called Young Gunners. Really great customs I must say
CP9 Kaku, no figures of it so far as well
Ivankov custom *death wink!
this is probably one of the nicest custom so far I have seen but no bidders yet on the item with the asking price of 50000 yen. It is the scene where Admiral Akainu delivers the blow to kill off Ace. The effects is good along with the flames and the lava effect of the Devil Fruit. Will try to post pictures of other interesting figures of One Piece as well as items I bought..
