Character Voting Opens for Banpresto's DBZ, One Piece Figure Coliseum

Anime News Network's merchandise coverage sponsored by Tokyo Otaku Mode.

The Banpresto Figure Colosseum – Figure King Summit Showdown is held every year and allows aspiring sculptors to submit their own One Piece creations into a voting contest. A Dragonball Z counterpart, the Tenkaichi Budokai Dragon Ball competition, works similarly.

The websites for each competition opened voting for users to choose three characters (voting is open to Japanese residents only). The top characters will become the subjects for competitors to create their figure submissions. Voting is open for only one week.

This month's Crane King prizes include winners from the previous contests, including a figure of Nami in a wedding dress.
