The SUNTORY beverage company will bundle 24 exclusive One Piece figurines with 500-mL bottles of Pepsi Nex in Japan beginning next month. Each soda bottle will include one character figure from mid-Decmber until supplies run out. The figures are Monkey D. Luffy, Tony Tony Chopper, Roronoa Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Nico Robin, Usopp, Franky, Brook, Portgas D. Ace, Shirohige (Whitebeard), Shanks, Aokiji, Kizaru, Akainu, Boa Hancock, Dracule Mihawk, Donquixote Doflamingo, Bartholomew Kuma, Jimbe, Gecko Moria, Sir Crocodile, Kurohige (Blackbeard), and Thousand Sunny.
In a similar campaign starting this month, bottles of Pepsi Nex will bundle a collection of 24 Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes! figures including the Pokémon Pikachu, Cinccino, Zoroark, Reuniclus, Pansage, and other characters. The Tiger & Bunny anime production team is also currently partnering with Pepsi Nex in an advertisement campaign that features the character Blue Rose.
The online retail site Rakuten listed a Pepsi Nex collaborative program with 16 exclusive Gundam Be@rbrick figurines from Medicom Toy last December. Pepsi has conducted similar promotions with non-anime properties such as various Paramount films, Warner Bros. titles, Fox titles, and Star Wars.
