One Piece Funko Pops have conquered collectors’ shelves worldwide. With their stylized vinyl design featuring oversized heads and small bodies, they capture the essence of the saga’s characters with an instantly recognizable charm. From Luffy to Brook, via Zoro, Whitebeard, and even Emperor Buggy—the range has expanded to cover increasingly recent arcs.
But with the growing number of models, which ones truly deserve a place in your collection? This guide reviews the must-have One Piece Pops, exclusive series, and rarities to watch for.
🎯 Why Collect One Piece Funko Pops?
Funko Pops have a unique advantage over other figures: their standardized format makes it possible to create visually cohesive collections even when mixing characters with very different styles. Luffy, Whitebeard, Chopper, and Brook all have the same basic size—your Pops line up perfectly on a shelf, regardless of their world within the series.
The entry price is affordable (classic models can be found for around €15–25), and the designs are often very faithful to the characters’ spirit, even if they differ from Oda’s style. Each arc brings its share of new Pops—Wano was particularly generous with kimono and samurai-style versions.
Funko Pops occupy a niche of their own: they do not aim to replace premium action figures, but rather to complement a collection with a distinctive style. Many collectors combine both—Funko Pops for supporting characters and premium figures for their favorites.
⭐ Must-Have One Piece Pops
1. Luffy Gear 4 Snakeman
The Luffy Gear 4 Snakeman version is one of the best-designed figures in the range. The design perfectly captures the serpentine posture of this transformation—the elongated arms, the black markings on the skin, the steam-like hair. A Pop that makes an impression despite its small size.
2. Whitebeard (Captain Edward Newgate)
The Whitebeard Pop is an imposing piece in the Funko format. His build, white bandana, and legendary mustache are rendered perfectly. For fans of the Marineford arc, this Pop is absolutely essential — it represents one of the most iconic characters in the saga.
3. Roronoa Zoro (Classic Battle Stance)
The Zoro Pop in a battle stance is one of the most dynamic designs in the One Piece lineup. Three swords, an Ittoryu stance (or Santoryu, depending on the model), a determined expression — it's exactly what you expect from a Zoro Pop.
4. Brook (Samurai)
Brook in his samurai version from the Wano arc is one of the most original Pops in the series. His naturally skeletal design offers creative possibilities that other characters don't have — and the samurai version takes full advantage of them with its kimono and katana.
5. Buggy the Clown (Emperor Version)
The Emperor Buggy Pop is highly sought after for its absurdity and its perfect fit with the spirit of One Piece. Buggy as a Yonko, wearing the charismatic outfit of an involuntary "big villain" — it's pure fan service that brings a smile every time you look at it.
🔍 Rarities and Exclusives to Watch
Some One Piece Funko Pops are produced as limited editions or exclusives for certain retailers. These figures can quickly increase in value on the resale market. Pops with a metallic finish (Chase editions), SDCC editions, or specific retailer exclusives fall into this category.
For Wano, the kimono versions of several characters have been particularly popular — Luffy Taro (Wano Kuni style) and Yamato wearing a demon mask are among the most requested figures in recent years. Keep an eye out for new releases related to the manga's latest arcs.

📦 Displaying and Protecting Your One Piece Pops
The collector's eternal question: box opened or sealed? Pops in their original boxes retain a higher resale value—but displaying them out of the box allows you to fully appreciate them every day. Many collectors do both: they keep rare pieces in their boxes and display the standard models.
For displaying them, floating shelves make it possible to create themed displays by arc or crew. LED lighting placed behind a row of Pops creates a highly successful visual effect—especially for models with vibrant colors like red Luffy or fire Ace.
