Third Wave of Exclusive One Piece x NBA MASTER STARS PIECE Collab Figures Open for Pre-Orders
Bandai has officially opened pre-orders for the latest additions to the ambitious crossover between the iconic anime series One Piece and the NBA.
The newest releases continue the impressive ONE PIECE x NBA MASTER STARS PIECE collection, which pairs some of Eiichiro Oda’s most beloved characters with official NBA franchises.
Fans were originally introduced to the complete ten-figure lineup during a special NBA HOUSE JAPAN event held earlier this year.
The collaboration between the legendary basketball league and the long-running pirate adventure was first announced in November 2025.
Since then, the partnership has expanded through multiple successful merchandise collections, including S.H.Figuarts action figures of Luffy and a range of Chopper plush toys.
The ONE PIECE x NBA MASTER STARS PIECE series has become one of the standout releases from the collaboration by combining highly detailed character statues with the identities and colours of NBA teams.
Following the earlier pre-order launches for Monkey D. Luffy, Enel, Red-Haired Shanks and Roronoa Zoro, the spotlight has now shifted to the next pair of collectible statues.
This latest wave features navigator Nami proudly representing the Denver Nuggets.
The “ONE PIECE × NBA MASTER STARS PIECE THE NAMI DENVER NUGGETS” statue continues the premium display series by combining Nami’s instantly recognizable appearance with the official colours and styling of the NBA franchise.
Joining Nami is Straw Hat cook Sanji, who takes to the court as the representative of the Indiana Pacers.
The “ONE PIECE × NBA MASTER STARS PIECE THE SANJI INDIANA PACERS” statue similarly blends Sanji’s signature style with the Pacers’ iconic team identity, continuing the collection’s unique fusion of anime and professional basketball.
Although these two figures are the newest additions to become available, the crossover collection is still only partially complete.
Four more character and team pairings remain scheduled for future releases.
The remaining figures yet to receive pre-orders include Trafalgar Law representing the Golden State Warriors, Sabo representing the Memphis Grizzlies, Portgas D. Ace representing the New York Knicks, and Yamato representing the Milwaukee Bucks.
Bandai has continued releasing the collection in consecutive pairs, gradually expanding the full ten-figure lineup over several months.
Collectors who missed the earlier releases may still be able to secure previous waves while stock remains available.
The first wave introduced Gear 5 Monkey D. Luffy representing the Los Angeles Lakers alongside Enel representing the Oklahoma City Thunder, while the second wave featured Red-Haired Shanks wearing the colours of the Chicago Bulls and Roronoa Zoro representing the Boston Celtics.
Both the “ONE PIECE × NBA MASTER STARS PIECE THE NAMI DENVER NUGGETS” and “ONE PIECE × NBA MASTER STARS PIECE THE SANJI INDIANA PACERS” figures are priced at ¥12,100 each (approx. $77 USD / £61 GBP).
Pre-orders are now open exclusively through the Premium Bandai online store, with shipments for both statues currently scheduled to begin in December 2026.
