One Piece DX Figure

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 ¥1200~1600.
Since then, Banpresto has released a lot of figure series, marked under the DX brand, which stands for Deluxe. It generally deals with figures of an overall better quality than their usual productions, with a size of around 15 cm tall. Sometimes, a line name is also marked with the word Kumitate Shiki (組立式). It is a Japanese word meaning ready-made / pre-assembled, i.e. no painting and minor assembling required, but sometimes you can find it literally translated as Assembly Type (as 組立 / Kumitate can be translated as assembly and 式 / Shiki means type, style).
So this article is a catalog of every Banpresto figure series, marked under the DX brand. Still, this page is not exhaustive as it does not enumerate the numerous plushies, in particular Chopper plushies, that has come out under the DX brand.
The different lines are organized under 3 categories:
*Regular figure series,
*Chopper focused series, which deals with lines centered around Chopper renditions.
*Crossover series, which deals with crossover between One Piece and Dragon Ball.
