One Piece

One Piece has sold over 500 million copies, a genuine Guinness World Record for a single-author comic series, and that fanbase wants more than manga to collect. Rivals Corner stocks Bandai's official One Piece model kit range: the Going Merry, Thousand Sunny and Red Force ships, plus the smaller Chopper Robo mecha line. Snap-fit assembly means no glue needed on most kits. Free tracked UK shipping applies on orders over £99.

Bandai's Official One Piece Model Kit Range

500 million copies sold, a Guinness World Record for a single-author comic series: that's One Piece's real scale, and it explains why Bandai bothered building an entire model kit range around it. Rivals Corner's collection covers the Straw Hats' iconic ships, Going Merry, Thousand Sunny, Red Force, alongside the smaller Chopper Robo mecha toys.

Snap-fit assembly runs through most of this range, no glue or paint required on the base builds. Hull pieces click together first, then masts, sails and detail work layer on top. Rig the sails wrong and the ship looks lopsided on the shelf. Get the proportions right and a Going Merry or Thousand Sunny genuinely looks like it sailed straight off the page.

Which ship earns the display shelf? One Piece Grand Ship Collection: Going Merry captures the Straw Hats' first ship at a manageable scale and price. One Piece Thousand Sunny Wano Country Ver. Model Kit reworks the crew's second ship in its Wano-arc livery, the exact version UK searches specifically look for. One Piece Grand Ship Collection: Red Force Model Kit brings Shanks' ship to the same collection, a strong pull for anyone following the Red-Haired Pirates. Reddit's r/OnePiece regularly threads through which Grand Ship Collection kits are worth grabbing, so you're not picking blind.

Building Gunpla too? Gunpla [All] covers the wider Gundam range this sits alongside. Need tools before you start? Tools & Supplies has nippers, cement and thinner ready to go.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's in Bandai's One Piece Grand Ship Collection?

The Grand Ship Collection covers the various pirate ships from across the One Piece world, Going Merry, Thousand Sunny, Red Force, Garp's Warship and more, each at a compact, display-friendly scale. They're smaller and cheaper than the full-size Going Merry or Thousand Sunny kits, making them a good starting point if you want to collect several ships rather than commit to one large build.

What scale are One Piece model kits?

It varies by kit rather than following one fixed scale like Gunpla does. The larger ship kits (Going Merry, Thousand Sunny) run bigger and more detailed, while the Grand Ship Collection and Chopper Robo lines are smaller, simpler builds. Check the individual product page for exact dimensions before buying.

Do One Piece model kits need glue or paint?

Most don't. Bandai builds these as snap-fit kits, so the hull, deck and mast pieces click together without cement. Paint is optional for extra detail, not required to finish the build, which makes this range a solid entry point if you haven't built a model kit before.

Can I use Gunpla tools and paints on One Piece kits?

Yes. The plastic, paint compatibility and basic build tools (side cutters, cement, panel-line accents) are the same as standard Gunpla, so anything in the Tools & Supplies range works here too. No need for a separate toolkit if you already build Gundam kits.
