Anime collaborations are not LEGO’s specialty; in fact, throughout its existence, LEGO has never officially published a set based on an anime property, most likely because of distribution rights issues that can often complicate such ventures. This absence has left many fans disappointed, as they would love to see their favorite anime characters and worlds recreated with LEGO bricks. However, for LEGO lovers, a partnership is now possible because Netflix’s live-action One Piece series doesn’t appear to have this issue, opening the door for potential collaboration. With the immense popularity of One Piece as a groundbreaking anime and now a live-action series, the opportunities for creating themed sets based on iconic scenes, characters, and ships from the franchise could captivate both LEGO enthusiasts and anime fans alike. This development not only promises to bring fresh and exciting products to the market but also highlights the ever-evolving nature of media collaborations in today’s entertainment landscape.

Although there isn’t much information in the official preview trailer for the partnership, the quick glimpse of Luffy’s trademark straw hat and his flexible arms is exciting enough.
