The live-action One Piece just premiered over the weekend, and a lot of fans have been raving about the show online, even bringing in some newer fans who have never checked out the anime.
Just in, Hot Toys has officially revealed their figures for the live-action Luffy (Inaki Godoy) and Zoro (Mackenyu). Check them out:

Though Luffy and Zoro are already the subject of countless figures and statues, it’s pretty great that even their live-action versions should get immortalized in plastic as early as now. No doubt, Netflix wants to capitalize on the popularity of the One Piece IP, and with Stranger Things ending, their constantly on the hunt for their next flagship series.
While Luffy comes with rubber extensions for both arms and one leg, plus a devil fruit; Zoro comes with an alternate head wearing his black bandana. It also looks like the head is automatically biting down on Zoro’s Wado Ichimonji, and it doesn’t come with version where he just has a neutral face. I guess collectors can always just put a bandana on a normal head?
The figures all look great overall, but some fans think that there could be some improvement when it comes to the likeness. For a character as wild and expressive as Luffy, you’d think he’s come with an alternate face with an open mouth, screaming.
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what else releases in the future.
Catch One Piece now streaming on Netflix.
