One Piece DX Figure
From One Piece Encyclopedia
TV Anime 「One Piece」 DX Figure is a series of 18 cm tall figures released in 2006 by Banpresto, which could only be found in UFO Catcher games. Each released set is composed of 2 characters. Each figure is generally sold in specialized shop at ¥1200~1400.
Since then, Banpresto has released another related series TV Anime 「One Piece」 Kumitate Shiki DX. Kumitate Shiki (組立式) is a japanese word that may be translated as knockdown or prefabricated but sometimes you can find Assembly Type (as 組立 can be translated as assembly and 式 means type, style).
