Bandai Namco Turns One Piece DVD Packages Into Miniature Gashapon Charms
The set draws its 15 entries from the DVD package spine art rather than character popularity, so the capsule line sells the physical home video release itself as the collectible.
Key Facts
- Bandai Namco will release the One Piece Log Collection Miniature Charm in the fourth week of September at 300 yen tax included per capsule.
- Each One Piece Log Collection Miniature Charm reproduces a TV anime One Piece DVD package and the sleeve can be removed to reveal the interior package art.
- The One Piece Log Collection Miniature Charm follows the One Piece no Mi Part 26 capsule line, which features Shanks and Gunko in deformed style.

Bandai Namco will release the One Piece Log Collection Miniature Charm in the fourth week of September, priced at 300 yen tax included per pull. Each charm reproduces a TV anime One Piece DVD package at miniature scale, and the outer sleeve can be removed to expose the interior, which is modeled down to small parts. The lineup has 15 designs: East Blue, Sanji, Nami, Loguetown, Grand Line, Chopper, Arabasta, Vivi, Skypiea, God, Bell, Navarone, Foxy, Water Seven, and Rocket Man. The charms go on sale through capsule toy channels. The release follows earlier One Piece capsule lines, including One Piece no Mi Part 26, which includes Shanks and Gunko in deformed style.
The fourth week of September release window puts the charms in the same period as several other capsule launches, including a Disney character charm line and a re-release of the Crystal Monsters capsule series, both dated to the same window.
The 15 names map to the Log Collection DVD volumes rather than to story arcs alone. Loguetown, Arabasta, Skypiea, Navarone, and Water Seven mark destinations along the crew's route, while Bell and God sit alongside them as separate listed entries instead of being folded under the arcs that contain them. Rocket Man and Foxy are listed as their own entries rather than grouped with the Water Seven and Long Ring Long Land material around them.
The interior detail is the selling point Bandai Namco is leaning on. The sleeve slides off and the inner package art is reproduced, which is a step past the usual flat charm printed with a logo. Price is 300 yen per pull, the standard capsule rate, and the product page carries the full design list.
