“One Piece” Luffy and Shanks jumped out! The wafer confectionery “Niformation” sticker is now available as a figure

Welcome back to the I Am Anime website

From the TV anime “ONE PIECE”, four types of “Niformation Creation” figures are now available, each model depicting a character popping out from a sticker. “Gear 5” Luffy, Shanks, Buggy, and Teach have been made into three-dimensional figures based on the illustrations of the wafer confectionery “Niformation.” Pre-orders are currently being accepted at Premium Bandai.

“ONE PIECE” is a huge hit comic representing Japan, which was first serialized by Eiichiro Oda in “Weekly Shonen Jump” in 1997, and has sold over 500 million copies worldwide. This is a story in which the Straw Hat Pirates, led by the main character Monkey D. Luffy, go on an epic adventure in search of the One Piece Treasure left behind by the legendary Pirate King Gol D. Roger.

The TV anime began broadcasting in 1999 and celebrated its 25th anniversary in October 2024. The commemorative event “ONE PIECE EMOTION” will be held at the Kumamoto venue, Grand Messe Kumamoto, from December 28th, following the Tokyo venue (ended). While looking back on the 25th anniversary, we will hold an exhibition where you can experience the world view, focusing on the Wano Country edition and the Egghead edition.

The “ONE PIECE Niformation Creation” that has recently appeared is one that entered the deformed figure category of “ONE PIECE WORLD FIGURE COLOSSEUM”, a top battle for figure sculpting kings based on this work. At this tournament, which was held for the first time in four years, sculptors and Bandai Namco’s brand developers teamed up to take on the challenge of a team competition for the first time. A battle was unfolding in which each of them put their prestige on the line, aiming to become the strongest “King of Modeling” in history.

Included in “One Piece Great Pirate Seal Wafer” from the “Niformation” sticker collection “Niformation” that expresses the charm of the work with deformed illustrations of “Ni” Toshin (2 heads and bodies) “Gear 5” Luffy, Shanks, Buggy, and Teach have been carefully selected and made into three-dimensional figures.

This is a one-of-a-kind figure that combines original expression and character, sculpted with the image of a character popping out from a sticker.

Particularly interesting is the pedestal, which looks as if the seal on which it was created has been broken. Even though they are deformed, they are three-dimensional so that the image of each character is conveyed as is.

Luffy’s “Gear 5” appearance, which has reached the highest point, is expressed with gradation painting that makes use of clear parts.

Shanks has a cool expression with sharp eyes, and he has a dynamic feeling that seems like he’s about to attack at any moment. The pose is such that it cuts through the seal and pops out.

Also, the characters of Buggy and Blackbeard Teach are perfectly expressed. Even though it has been condensed to a size of about 10cm, it is still impressive to see the size and the shape that gives you a sense of pressure and power that you cannot imagine from a deformed figure.

Let’s welcome figures with unprecedented ideas and enjoy them together with the “Niformation” stickers.

The four types of figures “Niformation So” from the TV anime “One Piece” are priced at 4,950 yen each (tax included). Pre-orders are currently being accepted on the mail order site “Premium Bandai”.
