One Piece X Lego Collaboration: Oda’s 25-Year Dream Comes True

Summary

  • One Piece and LEGO collaborate, fulfilling Oda’s 25-year dream.
  • Sets likely based on the Live Action, not the original manga.
  • Release date for LEGO sets unknown, possibly before Season 2 of Live Action.

LEGO sets are among the top-rated toys and collectibles, and for quite some time, enthusiasts, including Oda himself, have been eagerly anticipating a One Piece collection.

This dream is finally a reality now, as a collaboration is revealed between One Piece and LEGO.

One Piece’s Collaboration With Lego

The One Piece Live Action is Getting LEGO sets

It’s been announced in a short preview that the beloved series One Piece will be partnering with LEGO for the creation of LEGO sets based on the storyline of One Piece.

It’s quite surprising that LEGO typically doesn’t produce anime-themed sets, so the announcement of a One Piece set feels unexpected.

As I take a closer look, it’s worth mentioning that these LEGO sets are seemingly tied to the live-action adaptation of “One Piece”. Presumably, they are part of an ad campaign for Season 2 of the series. Consequently, the designs will be influenced by the live-action series, rather than the original manga or anime. It’s reasonable to assume that the LEGO figures will resemble the actors portraying these roles, not Oda’s original characters.

Oda’s Comment on the LEGO Collaboration

Regarding the latest project with LEGO, the creator of “One Piece”, Eiichiro Oda, shared some words for the fans.

Here’s Oda’s exciting message:

“LEGO sets are coming!!!

Currently, there are numerous LEGO sets accumulating at my workstation that I haven’t managed to explore yet. There’s simply no greater toy around!! For a quarter of a century since the anime debuted, I’ve been yearning for a LEGO set, and now, my wish is coming true with a live-action series! A big thank you to the LEGO team! Yay! I can hardly wait to start constructing and showcasing them!

It’s evident that Oda holds a deep affection for LEGO, and he’s eagerly anticipating the arrival of a One Piece LEGO set after a long wait.

Given that the LEGO sets are designed for the live-action adaptation, it’s reasonable to expect them to feature characters and settings from Seasons 1 and particularly Season 2. Consequently, you might anticipate Lego sets based on islands in East Blue and the Arabasta Saga.

When will The Lego Sets Be Released?

Currently, the release date for these LEGO sets is undetermined; however, it’s expected that they will hit the shelves sometime this year, ahead of the premiere of Season 2 of the live-action adaptation of One Piece.
