Brook, the skeleton musician of the Straw Hat crew, is a unique character in global animation—literally a skeleton who plays the violin, fights with a sword, and asks to see women's underwear. Representing him as a figure offers exceptional creative possibilities: no other One Piece character looks like Brook, and manufacturers take advantage of this to create genuinely original models.
💀 Brook in Collecting: A Character Apart
Brook is fundamentally different from all the other One Piece characters—his skeletal design creates unique visual opportunities. Brook figures can explore a gothic aesthetic (black, bones, soul sword), his musician side (violin, afro, concert pose), or the samurai dimension he acquired in Wano. Three distinct aesthetic directions, all consistent with the character.
His popularity among collectors grew with the Wano arc, where his samurai outfit and new powers (Soul Solid at amplified power) gave him a new narrative dimension that fans greatly appreciated.
Brook's afro is almost as iconic as his skeleton. Figures depicting him with his voluminous, well-defined afro are generally rated highest by fans—the afro is an integral part of the character, and an accurate representation is a mark of the model's quality.
⭐ The Most Original Brook Figures
1. Pop Brook Samurai (Brook Version)
The Pop Brook as a samurai is one of the most successful figures in the One Piece Pop range. The Funko format naturally amplifies Brook's already unusual proportions—his skeletal thinness and great height are perfectly captured in the vinyl style. The samurai outfit gives the character a striking dark elegance.
2. Brook: Thematic Variations
The different versions of Brook (classic, post-time skip with a wolf, Wano version) offer very different collecting angles. The post-time-skip version with his wolf and dark "Soul King" outfit is particularly popular with fans who follow the character over the long term.
🎌 Brook Samurai Wano: The Ultimate Version
The Wano Arc transformed Brook into a true ice samurai, with a more controlled use of his soul than ever before. His kimono outfit adapts traditional Japanese style to his skeletal body in a remarkably coherent way. Brook Wano figures capture this transformation—a skeleton in a kimono, Soul Solid in hand, simultaneously gothic, elegant, and absurd.
For fans collecting the Straw Hat crew in a unified Wano version, the Samurai Brook is the essential piece—the one that completes the themed set with the most originality.
