What is One Piece Day 2026?
One Piece Day is the series' official birthday party, run by Shueisha and Toei each summer. This year it splits over two dates. A Premiere Eve Festival opens things on Saturday 22 August, then the main event follows on Sunday 23 August. The headline moment is the 2nd Global Character Popularity Poll World Top 100. Places 100 to 31 get revealed on the Saturday, with the top 30 and the number one crown saved for Sunday. Poll results shift what fans want. When a character spikes, their figures and Funko Pops tend to sell out fast.
The Straw Hat crew: where most One Piece collectors start
Luffy leads almost every popularity poll, and he leads our sales too. The rubber-limbed captain is the safe first buy for any new collector. Zoro sits right behind him. The three-sword swordsman has a following that rivals the captain himself, which is why our Zoro pieces rarely sit still.
Luffy picks
Want the captain on your shelf without the big statue price? The One Piece Luffy Necklace (£14.95) is a subtle everyday nod, and the Luffy Gum-Gum Devil Fruit Pin Badge (£5.95) is a cheap, satisfying grab. For wall space, the One Piece Live Action Luffy Poster (£3.99) ties in with the Netflix series.
Zoro picks
Zoro fans are spoiled here. The One Piece Roronoa Zoro Baseball Cap (£19.95) is our most-worn bit of crew merch, and the One Piece Zoro Pencil with Eraser (£3.95) makes a fun stocking-filler or pocket-money buy. Small, cheap, gone quickly.
The wider crew
Chopper always punches above his size in the polls. The One Piece Live Action Chopper Poster (£3.99) is an easy shout for the little reindeer's fans. Round out the desk with the One Piece Wanted Posters Magnet Set (£6.95) or the One Piece Cards Stainless Steel Travel Tumbler (£16.99).
Figures, Funko Pops and statues
Accessories are the easy win. Figures are where the collection gets serious. Our One Piece range runs from budget Funko Pop vinyls through S.H.Figuarts articulated figures to hefty Banpresto and Megahouse statues of the Straw Hats. Gear 5 Luffy, Wano-arc Zoro and Egghead-era designs all show up as the anime races through its final saga. Stock on the bigger figures moves in waves. If a grail lands, do not sit on it. We have watched popular One Piece statues sell out inside a weekend more than once.

Common mistakes to avoid
Buying fakes is the big one. One Piece is one of the most bootlegged anime lines going, and dodgy figures flood marketplaces around big events like One Piece Day. Stick to official stock. Check the licensing and the seller. Second mistake: waiting. Poll spikes and event hype clear shelves fast, and restocks on anime figures can take months. Third: ignoring the accessories. A £5 pin or a poster scratches the collecting itch while you save for the statue.
