Cronologia
Panoramica
MegaHouse, a figure and toy manufacturing subsidiary of Bandai Namco, holds official licensing to produce high-end collectible figures and merchandise for Eiichiro Oda's One Piece.
Launched in 2004, MegaHouse's flagship line—Portrait.Of.Pirates (P.O.P)—is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious and longest-running anime scale figure lines in history, featuring over 300 unique releases across multiple sub-series.
Primarily focused on standard 1/8 scale pre-painted statues and dynamic diorama pieces, MegaHouse also produces distinct alternative lines including the fully articulated Variable Action Heroes (VAH), desk-friendly LookUp chibi figures, and the cat-transformed MEGA CAT PROJECT. MegaHouse figures are positioned at the premium end of the anime figure market and are renowned for high sculpt accuracy, vibrant finishes, and strong secondary-market collectibility.
Storia
MegaHouse launched its One Piece collectible program in 2004 with the release of the original Portrait.Of.Pirates (P.O.P) Excellent Model line, featuring 1/8 scale figures of Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, and Nami. The series quickly expanded in 2007 with P.O.P NEO, introducing refined sculpts and neck ball-joints, followed by the childhood-focused P.O.P CB in 2008.
In 2009, MegaHouse debuted P.O.P DX (Deluxe) to accommodate massive characters like Whitebeard and Marine Admirals, alongside movie-tie-in collections such as Strong Edition (2009) and Edition-Z (2012). Following the manga's two-year timeskip, MegaHouse launched P.O.P Sailing Again in 2011 to showcase character redesigns, alongside web-exclusive P.O.P LIMITED EDITION figures in 2012.
MegaHouse expanded into fully articulated figures with Variable Action Heroes (VAH) in 2014, and introduced stylish seated figures with P.O.P S.O.C ("Sit On Chair") in 2016. In 2017, the line reached a high point with P.O.P MAXIMUM, producing high-detail diorama statues depicting major combat moments. Modern developments include arc-themed lines like Warriors Alliance (2019), retrospective Playback Memories (2020), desk-focused LookUp figures (2021), the 20th-anniversary Evolutionary History series (2024), and the high-tier Elevated Boost line (2026).
I PEZZI DI ONE PIECE
Collezionismo
MegaHouse's One Piece figure catalog, led by Portrait.Of.Pirates, represents the gold standard for high-end anime figure collecting. Due to strict production windows and strong global demand, flagship releases in the P.O.P MAXIMUM line and web-exclusive P.O.P LIMITED EDITION figures frequently appreciate significantly on the secondary market.
Collectors value the line for its long-running consistency, screen accuracy, and faithful representation of Eiichiro Oda's evolving artistic style over more than twenty years. The presence of diverse sub-lines—ranging from articulated VAH action figures to compact LookUp desk displays—allows collectors to build comprehensive displays across every major saga of the series.
The 2023 release of P.O.P SA-MAXIMUM Gear 5 Luffy achieved record-breaking pre-order volume for MegaHouse's One Piece lineup.
