LEGO and Netflix unveil the first full range of One Piece sets
The LEGO Group has unveiled the first full line up of LEGO One Piece products. Based on the live-action show produced by Netflix and Tomorrow Studios, and ahead of the return of One Piece Season 2, the new sets bring scenes from Netflix's Season 1 to life in LEGO brick form for the first time. Based on Eiichiro Oda's manga series, the first season of One Piece sailed into Netflix's Global Top 10 Shows where it spent eight weeks. All sets will include one or more of eight collectable 'Wanted' posters featuring some of the series' most notorious pirates, with all sets available on August 1, 2025 and pre-orders starting now. The Straw Hat Pirates' ship is brought to life with the LEGO One Piece The Going Merry Pirate Ship set. The set features over 1,376 pieces, bringing the ship's detailed deck and interior to life, with a large, printed sail featuring the Jolly Roger skull. The LEGO One Piece Battle at Arlong Park set enables anime fans aged 9 and up to recreate the showdown between the Straw Hat Pirates and their rivals, with details such as a collapsing Arlong Park pagoda. The set comes with Minifigures of Monkey D. Luffy, Nami, Usopp, Arlong and Chu with features like the shooting gallery for target practice, three 'Wanted' posters and the forest, in which Usopp fights the villain, Chu. The LEGO One Piece Buggy the Clown's Circus Tent can be flipped around to create a larger play area. The LEGO One Piece Windmill Village Hut set lets fans re-enact the scene in which Monkey D. Luffy sneaks a bite from Shanks' hidden Gum Gum Fruit. Adult fans of One Piece can grab a seat at the LEGO One Piece The Baratie Floating Restaurant. The 3,402-piece set offers intricate details and easter eggs, including five collectable 'Wanted' posters. 'Bringing the Straw Hat Pirates in LEGO brick form to fans worldwide has been a dream assignment', said Yi-Chien Cheng, Associate Design Lead on LEGO One Piece. 'I have always been a big fan of the story of One Piece and it was so exciting to work with the team on building all the details from some of our favourite locations and scenes in the live-action Netflix show in brick form. I cannot wait for fans of both the LEGO Group and One Piece to get their hands on these sets and start charting their own courses into the Grand Line.' "It's an incredible opportunity for Netflix and the LEGO Group to deliver something so meaningful and authentic to One Piece fans around the world," said Josh Simon, Vice President of Consumer Products and Experiences at Netflix. "The overwhelming feedback received from when we first teased the line was phenomenal. It was clear that this was a collection the fans have been wanting for a very long time. We're thrilled to bring fan favourite moments from both the franchise and the Netflix series in this collection and deliver a grand adventure for Straw Hat fans around the world."

India a country just as powerful as the world of 'One Piece': Usopp voice actor Kappei Yamaguchi
The bond between Japan and India is a precious one and people from both sides should cherish it, says Japanese actor Kappei Yamaguchi , known for his voice starring role in the globally popular anime series " One Piece ". Yamaguchi, who voices the fictional character Usopp in the franchise created by Eiichiro Oda, said India is a country just as powerful as the world of the long-running Japanese show. "'One Piece' can really make everyone smile, and I think that's the case in India and, of course, in America and even in Europe. I've been able to experience this for myself by going to various places. It's a really precious bond (between Japan and India) that we should continue to cherish... "I thought India was a very powerful country, an exciting country, and I myself have grown to love this country, but the fact that the people of this country are supporting 'One Piece' makes me think that it is a country that is just as powerful as the world of 'One Piece'," Yamaguchi told PTI in an interview. The actor was recently in India along with his "One Piece" co-star Hiraoki Hirata for the Mumbai Comic Con 2025. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover Affordable Medical Insurance Options for Seniors in the Philippines 2025 LocalPlan Search Now Undo The series, which has been on air since 1999, follows the adventures of Monkey D Luffy, a boy whose body gained the properties of rubber after unintentionally eating a Devil Fruit. With his crew, named the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy explores the Grand Line in search of the world's ultimate treasure known as the "One Piece" in order to become the next King of the Pirates. Hirata, who voices Sanji in the show, said he is happy to see "One Piece" being recognised in India. "I'd heard that it was really popular all over the world, but I only experienced it for real when I went to America and saw how enthusiastic the fans there were. So, as Kappie said, when people from countries like India get excited, the power they show is incredible..." he added. While Yamaguchi and Hirata have been voicing the characters of Usopp and Sanji for 25 years now, both the actors originally auditioned to essay Luffy and Roronoa Zoro. Mayumi Tanaka and Kazuya Nakai eventually voiced the roles of Luffy and Zoro, respectively. Yamaguchi said he had never before played a role like Usopp, a member of the Straw Hat Pirates who serves as their sniper. "I was really worried at first. But now it has been 25 years of me working with the character, I am able to do it now. I think the character of Usopp has already become familiar to me, to the point where I wonder what my initial concerns were... "The character has changed a lot (over the years), as I've been able to put more and more of my own feelings and various aspects of myself into it. I think he's probably the character I have the most freedom with now," he added. Voice starring in "One Piece" has had "a huge impact" on Yamaguchi, he said. "The fact that I can feel happy about being able to work on this series is the greatest thing of all. We have been given a wonderful gift in the form of the 'One Piece' series, which brings a smile to people's faces and allows them to talk to each other." Hirata said Yamaguchi was already a famous voice actor, but he was unknown before joining the cast of "One Piece". "So, when I got the role of Sanji in 'One Piece', my life completely changed. When I was chosen as Sanji, 'One Piece' fans didn't know who I was at all," he added.
