Riku’s One Piece collection
Riku is a One Piece fan we invited to walk his collection. He is not “the biggest collector in the world.” His spare bedroom is now a figure room.
He started watching after school. Someone at home had the anime on. He did not know how long it was. He liked Luffy — the kid in the straw hat who wanted to be King of the Pirates. On histenth birthday his parents gave him a small Luffy — official prize figure, not a bootleg. That box is still in a drawer. The Luffy stands on the lowest shelf so he never has to stretch for the first one.
Everything after that is twenty years of paychecks, Jump Shops, and “I’ll stop after this Ichiban Kuji.” He only buys licensed stuff: Banpresto, Ichiban Kuji, JUMP SHOP, Bandai Namco. No garage kits, no mystery AliExpress faces.
The minis
The birthday Luffy is on the bottom row.
He crouches there first. The original tenth-birthday Luffy is the shortest one on the left. Around him the rest of the crew arrived one payday at a time: Zoro when he got his first job, Nami after a bonus, Chopper after Drum Island. Usopp, Sanji, Robin, Franky, Brook, Jinbe — each a different face. He will not put two of the same character next to each other.
“That first Luffy is scuffed. The paint on the hat is wrong. I still would not sell him.”Riku — mini shelf
The big ones
The big statues came after he had his own place.
Minis fit a kid’s shelf. The large pieces waited until he had his own apartment. Zoro first — that was who he wanted to be at twelve — then Sanji, after he started cooking with the anime on. He stands in profile and checks the scabbard. A Luffy and a Franky sit behind. He only buys a statue if he can name the arc.
“I told myself I would stop at the minis. Then I got keys. Zoro was the first thing I carried up the stairs. Sanji came the month I could cook without burning the pan.”Riku — statue wall
The unbox
Unboxing a new Luffy
He opens a crate the same way he opened the tenth-birthday box: tape, packing peanuts, no jumping for the camera. The big Luffy is already standing while he finishes the lid. If the hat is cracked he emails the official shop the same night.
“I used wrapping paper in 2004. Now I use a box cutter. Same idea.”Riku — unboxing Luffy
Where it starts
JUMP SHOP — he used to look through the window.
As a kid, official shops were a holiday if the family went to Tokyo. Now Shibuya is a restock: bag in one hand, box under the arm. Still no proxy sites, no unlicensed kits. If it is not on a JUMP SHOP or Bandai Namco shelf, he walks.
“I pressed my face to the window when I was ten. The first time I paid with my own card I stood in the same aisle for twenty minutes. Bootlegs look fine until the face is wrong.”Riku — Shibuya JUMP SHOPOpen in Google Maps
The wall
He started with posters.
The posters were first — cheap, official packs, taped in a childhood bedroom. He still lays a new Luffy print flat and smooths it before it goes up. Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Chopper already on the wall. He only hangs a face he already owns as a figure.
“The wall is older than the statues. My mum kept the first Luffy poster when I moved out. I bought the same print again so the room would not feel empty.”Riku — poster table
He still has the birthday receipt in a book. Buy figures from official JUMP SHOP, Bandai Namco stores, and licensed Ichiban Kuji. This is unofficial fan press. Riku’s room is his; the characters are Oda’s.
