Jinbe

Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, was introduced to the Funko Pop! Animation line as part of an expanding series dedicated to the long-running One Piece franchise. Released to capture the character's formidable appearance during the Wano Country arc, this figure features Jinbe in his signature martial arts stance, highlighting his distinct blue skin and red kimono-style gi. The design process focused on translating Eiichiro Oda’s stylized character art into the recognizable, oversized-head aesthetic synonymous with the Pop! brand.

The figure was received positively by collectors and fans of the series, who sought to add the former Warlord of the Sea to their collections alongside other Straw Hat crew members. Funko’s collaboration with the One Piece franchise continues to grow in popularity, as designers strive to balance the complex character details found in the source material with the minimalist requirements of the vinyl figure format. This particular model remains a staple for enthusiasts documenting the evolution of the pirate crew.
