In a crew of extraordinary people — a rubber-powered captain, a three-sword swordsman, a navigator who reads the weather like a book — Sanji stands apart. The Straw Hat Pirates’ chef, strategist, and third-strongest fighter is one of the most beloved characters in One Piece: a man of contradictions who cooks with his hands and fights with his feet, who is simultaneously the crew’s most chivalrous member and its most chaotic, and whose backstory is among the most emotionally devastating in the entire series. The Funko Pop! One Piece – Sanji Vinyl Figure captures the Black Leg in Funko’s signature 9cm style. At just £12.99, it’s the perfect companion to the Luffy Pop for a complete Straw Hat collection.
Why Sanji Is One of One Piece’s Greatest Characters
Sanji works as a character because he contains genuine contradictions that make him feel real. He’s the crew’s cook — a role he takes with absolute seriousness, because he learned from Zeff that food is life and no one should ever go hungry. He’s the crew’s most elegant fighter — the Black Leg style, using only kicks to protect the hands that cook. He’s hopelessly romantic around women and utterly ruthless against enemies. And his Vinsmoke backstory — the royal family that treated him as less than human — gives him an emotional depth that elevates him from great supporting character to one of the most fully realised people in the entire story. The Funko Pop captures his iconic silhouette: the suit, the curly eyebrow, the cigarette.
Real-Life Usage Situations
⚓ 1. Completing the Straw Hat Crew
Sanji is the essential second piece of any One Piece Funko collection — the chef and third-strongest fighter who stands alongside Luffy as the crew’s most recognisable members. Display them together for the beginning of a complete Straw Hat Pirates collection — the captain and his cook, the two characters whose dynamic drives so much of the series’ humour and heart. At £12.99 each, both figures together cost just £25.98 — exceptional value for the core of the greatest crew in anime.
🎁 2. The Gift for the Sanji Fan
Sanji has one of the most passionate and dedicated fanbases in all of One Piece — fans who chose him as their favourite from the beginning and have followed his journey through Baratie, Alabasta, Enies Lobby, Whole Cake Island, and Wano with absolute devotion. At £12.99, the Sanji Pop is the gift that immediately communicates “I know your favourite character” — the highest compliment you can pay a One Piece fan.
🍳 3. The Anime Chef Collector’s Display
Sanji is one of anime’s greatest chef characters — a cook whose relationship with food is genuinely philosophical, rooted in the belief that feeding people is one of the most important things a person can do. For collectors who appreciate anime characters with depth and complexity, the Sanji Pop is the figure that represents that tradition — the chef who fights to protect the people he feeds, with his hands always kept safe for cooking.
📺 4. The Wano & Post-Timeskip Era Fan
The Wano arc and the post-timeskip era of One Piece introduced Sanji’s Raid Suit, his Ifrit Jambe, and the full revelation of his Vinsmoke heritage — making him one of the most dramatically developed characters in the series’ final saga. For fans who have followed Sanji through these chapters, the Funko Pop is a celebration of a character who has grown from beloved crew member to one of the most powerful and emotionally complex figures in the entire story.

Is £12.99 Worth It? For Any One Piece Fan, Without Question.
Standard Funko Pop! Animation figures typically retail for £10–£15. The Sanji Pop at £12.99 sits squarely in the middle of that range — and for a character as beloved, complex, and emotionally rich as Sanji, it’s the easiest purchasing decision for any One Piece fan or anime collector.
“At £12.99 for the Black Leg chef of the Straw Hat Pirates — one of One Piece’s most beloved and complex characters — the Sanji Funko Pop is the essential companion piece to Luffy for any fan of the Grand Line.”
