One Piece’s Royal Heroines Take Center Stage in Huge New Official Release
Bandai has revealed the third entry in its One Piece “Memories of Heroines” Ichiban Kuji series, with the latest collection shifting its focus toward female characters connected to some of the story’s most important kingdoms and royal families.
“Ichiban Kuji One Piece Memories of Heroines -Royal Princess-” will introduce new figures of Nefertari Vivi, Rebecca, Vinsmoke Reiju and Jewelry Bonney alongside a larger Shirahoshi figure reserved for the Last One Prize.
Ichiban Kuji operates as a no-lose prize lottery where every ticket guarantees an item from a tiered lineup, with the Last One Prize awarded to whoever purchases the final remaining ticket at a participating location.
The new “Royal Princess” theme brings together characters from several completely different points in the One Piece story, beginning with Vivi, the princess of Alabasta who travels alongside the Straw Hats during their battle against Crocodile and Baroque Works.
Rebecca represents Dressrosa’s royal family after becoming one of the central characters caught up in Doflamingo’s control of the kingdom, while Reiju is a princess of the Germa Kingdom and a member of the genetically enhanced Vinsmoke family.
Shirahoshi is the Mermaid Princess of the Ryugu Kingdom and one of the Ancient Weapons through her identity as Poseidon, giving the Last One Prize one of the most important royal figures introduced during the Straw Hats’ journey.
Jewelry Bonney approaches the theme from a different direction through her connection to Bartholomew Kuma and the Sorbet Kingdom, with her history becoming a major part of the Egghead storyline.
Bandai has so far revealed five figures from the upcoming lottery, covering the A through D prizes and the Last One Prize.
Let’s take a closer look at all of the figures revealed so far!
- A Prize: Nefertari Vivi MASTERLISE EXPIECE
Approximately 20 cm tall.

The new lottery arrives shortly after several of the same characters returned to the spotlight through the One Piece Card Game’s second Heroines Edition, which includes new cards featuring Vivi, Shirahoshi, Rebecca and Bonney alongside Nami, Robin and Boa Hancock.

Bonney has meanwhile received several new figures during 2026 following her major role in the Egghead Arc, including a paired Senkou Zekkei release recreating her battle alongside Luffy against Saint Saturn.
“Royal Princess” follows two earlier Memories of Heroines lotteries, beginning with the original 2024 release that featured figures of Boa Hancock, Stussy’s clone, Perona and Lilith.
The second collection, “Memories of Heroines -Devil’s night-,” arrived in 2025 with another lineup focused on One Piece’s female cast, including Boa Hancock, Nico Robin, Charlotte Pudding and Kalifa alongside an S-Snake Last One Prize.
Bandai has not yet revealed the remaining prize tiers for “Royal Princess,” meaning additional merchandise, smaller collectibles and any Double Chance campaign details will be announced closer to launch.
“Ichiban Kuji One Piece Memories of Heroines -Royal Princess-” is scheduled to launch through Ichiban Kuji Online, official Ichiban Kuji stores and One Piece Mugiwara Stores in Japan from February 5, 2027, with each draw priced at ¥790 (approximately $5 / £4).
