One Piece Officially Returns to Skypiea After 22 Years for Exclusive New Merch Collection
Bandai has officially revealed the complete prize lineup for a new One Piece Ichiban Kuji built entirely around the Skypiea Arc, with figures, display pieces, and smaller collectibles covering some of the storyline’s most iconic moments.
The new “Ichiban Kuji ONE PIECE – Island Love Song Playing in the Sky -” collection stretches from Monkey D. Luffy and Nami figures through to maps of Jaya and Skypiea, Mont Blanc Cricket’s house and a particularly elaborate Last One Prize based on the Golden Bell.
Since it aired in 2003 and 2004 between Episode 153 and Episode 195, Skypiea has remained one of One Piece’s most memorable early adventures, following the Straw Hat Pirates as they travel into the sky and become caught between the inhabitants of Skypiea, the Shandia and the self-proclaimed god Enel.
The arc also develops the story of Mont Blanc Noland and Kalgara, connects the present-day conflict to events stretching back centuries, and ultimately turns the ringing of the Golden Bell into one of its most important emotional payoffs.
That history runs throughout the new Ichiban Kuji rather than limiting the collection to the Straw Hat crew, with prizes based on characters, locations and objects from both Jaya and the islands above the clouds.
The A Prize is a 19 cm MASTERLISE EXPIECE figure of Monkey D. Luffy recreating his appearance with the enormous golden ball attached to his arm during the final stages of the battle against Enel.
Nami appears as the B Prize with an approximately 18 cm MASTERLISE EXPIECE figure showing her riding the Waver, one of the most recognizable pieces of technology introduced during the Straw Hats’ time in the sky.
The C Prize gives Mont Blanc Cricket a statue of his own, with the 24 cm MASTERLISE EXPIECE figure taking inspiration from his introductory pose.
Cricket becomes an important ally before the Straw Hats ever reach Skypiea, helping them understand how to reach the sky while continuing his own search for proof that his ancestor Mont Blanc Noland was telling the truth.
Wyper follows as the D Prize with a 19 cm MASTERLISE EXPIECE figure also based on his first appearance, representing the Shandian warrior who spends much of the arc fighting to reclaim his people’s homeland.
The E Prize shifts away from character figures with an art board based on “Noland the Liar,” the storybook that shaped how Noland’s legend was remembered long after his death.
Mont Blanc Cricket’s unusual half-house becomes the F Prize as a functional pen stand, turning one of Jaya’s most recognizable locations into a desktop collectible.
The G Prize is a two-design MASTERELIVE COLLECTION featuring maps of Jaya and Skypiea, with winners able to choose which of the two versions they receive.
Five approximately 5 cm desktop mascots make up the H Prize assortment, featuring characters from the Skypiea storyline in smaller collectible form.
The I Prize consists of eight selectable golden metal charms inspired by characters and treasures connected to the arc, continuing the gold theme that runs through much of its final act.
Ten different items make up the J Prize “Cloud Goods Collection,” covering rubber trays, magnets, clips, and coasters decorated with characters and motifs inspired by Skypiea’s skies and clouds.
The K Prize completes the standard lineup with ten selectable sticker sets, each containing five stickers combining small designs based on memorable scenes with holographic artwork taken from the anime.
The Last One Prize is where the collection becomes considerably more ambitious, recreating Skypiea’s Golden Bell as a display piece with an additional projector feature.
Switching it on projects Luffy’s silhouette, recreating the image seen during the arc’s climactic ending when the ringing bell finally proves to Cricket that the legendary city his ancestor searched for really existed.
As with other Ichiban Kuji releases, the Last One Prize is awarded to the person who purchases the final remaining ticket at a participating location rather than being part of the regular prize draw.
There is also a Double Chance Campaign tied to the release, with 100 winners receiving a “TO BE CONTINUED THE GIGANT NAME” display measuring approximately 35 cm and recreating the familiar message used to close countless One Piece scenes.
The Double Chance item is the same across all One Piece Ichiban Kuji releases launched during 2026, with entries for this particular collection accepted through the end of January 2027.
Each draw for “Ichiban Kuji ONE PIECE – Island Love Song Playing in the Sky -” will cost ¥850 (approx. $5 USD / £4 GBP), with tickets available through Ichiban Kuji Online, official Ichiban Kuji stores, Mugiwara Stores and other participating locations across Japan from October 29, 2026.
An international release has not yet been confirmed, though Ichiban Kuji releases have now frequently appeared outside of Japan through Bandai’s local distribution channels and retail stores in locations such as the US, UK and Europe.
