Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS' popular prize figure brand BANPRESTO's "WCF" series recently unveiled several new products that allow you to recreate the "Coby Rescue Battle" from "ONE PIECE," set against the backdrop of the New World's Pirate Paradise, "Hachinosu"! These include the 2025 January release of the "WCF PREMIUM Blackbeard Pirates" and "WCF Hachinosu Vol. 1", followed by "WCF Hachinosu Vol. 2" in February 2025! Let's take a closer look.
To rescue the young Marine hero "Coby" and the citizens imprisoned on Pirate Island Hachinosu, the Marine Headquarters secret special unit SWORD launched an operation, engaging in fierce combat with numerous powerful members of the Blackbeard Pirates on the island! This time, WCF brings this thrilling story to life across three waves.
First up is the "Blackbeard Pirates" set, available exclusively at PREMIUM BANDAI. Led by Teach, it gathers a total of 11 characters, including Admiral "Teach" and his 10 colossal captains: Combat Champion "Jesus Burgess," "Shiryu of the Rain," Sniper "Van Augur," former Impel Down prisoner "Avalon Pizarro," "Lafitte" the Demon Sheriff, "Catarina Devon" the Crescent Moon Hunter, "Sanjuan Wolf" the Colossal Battleship, "Vasco Shot" the Heavy Drinker, "Doc Q" the Death God, and former Marine Admiral "Aokiji." It's a truly luxurious lineup.
Next, on the Marine VS Pirate side, WCF is releasing two waves themed "Hachinosu." The exact character distribution across these waves is not yet known, but based on the official images, it should include Marine legendary hero "Garp," "Coby," "Helmeppo," Marine Rear Admiral "Prince Grus," Vice Admiral Tsuru's granddaughter "Kujaku," "Hibari," "Tashigi," "Aokiji," and "Shiryu of the Rain." It also appears there will be an Avalon Pizarro utilizing his Island-Island Fruit ability.
