As Netflix’s live-action series “ONE PIECE” becomes a global hit, LEGO has partnered with Netflix and film and television production company Tomorrow Studios to launch the new “LEGO ONE PIECE Series” box set, and unveiled the complete box set lineup at the 24th Comic Expo (July 7-24). With five box sets fully recreating the most representative classic scenes in the series, the official announcement of the start of the Straw Hat Pirates’ LEGO adventure.
From Windmill Village to Dragon Paradise: Five scenes recreate the legendary adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates
The "One Piece" series of box sets launched by LEGO this time are based on the first season of the TV series, and the process of Luffy's pursuit of his dreams, making friends, and fighting against powerful enemies is recreated through classic LEGO bricks. The five major box sets are:
• "75636 Windmill Village Cottage": Recreates the starting point of Luffy's growth, and fully presents the interaction scene between Red-haired Jack and little Luffy in the Windmill Village. The moment of straw hat inheritance is matched with the village background, making fans feel as if they have returned to the starting point of the birth of their sailing dream.
• "75637 Circus Tent of Buggy the Clown": The brightly colored circus stage and Buggy's character details are combined. The scene where Luffy formally confronts the first villain is full of tension and is one of the most entertaining scenes in this series.
• "75638 Battle at Dragon Paradise": The scene of Luffy's final battle with the dragon is restored in a shocking way. The moment when the rubber battle axe destroys the fishman base becomes the highlight of the assembly. Nami's emotional transition is also cleverly presented through the scene and character dolls.
• "75639 Go On Merry": The Straw Hat Pirates' first pirate ship has finally appeared, including cabin details, observation deck and helmsman area, with five main members' mini-dolls. This box set symbolizes the friendship of partners and the starting point of dreams. It is a must-collect.
• "75640 Ballati Sea Restaurant": The sea restaurant is designed based on the kitchen and restaurant structure in the play, showing the friendship between Sanji and Zeff, and recreating the exciting battle scenes that broke out in the restaurant.
Deputy Director of the design team, Cheng Yi-chien, was specially invited to the Comic Expo to share the design concept. He said: "This is the first time that LEGO has designed a box set based on a live-action series. We hope to restore the atmosphere, character emotions and action scenes of each scene through building, so that fans can immerse themselves in the story and feel the passion and dreams brought by One Piece."
At the same time, Cheng Yi-qian emphasized that this time the production was in cooperation with the "One Piece" series, and the straw hat that symbolizes this work was presented in the form of special parts, allowing the LEGO doll to hold the straw hat in his hand. Even through special printing and parts reproduction, Luffy's hands that became longer due to the rubber fruit, as well as the special noses of Buggy and Agara in the original work were presented, while also retaining the playability in the five major scenes.
Zheng Yiqian also explained that although he was promoted to deputy director of the design team and should not be directly responsible for the production of specific products, he still participated in the production of the representative Merry in the work due to personal preference, emphasizing his love for this work.
