Fans' reaction to the new Eiichiro Oda figure

As soon as fans saw the figure, they expressed their willingness to purchase it. While anime fans often get to buy figures of their favorite characters, it is rare for them to purchase a figure of their favorite manga creator. Hence, some fans thought it was a milestone moment.

As for other enthusiasts, while they were indeed excited about the Eiichiro Oda figure, they theorized that Banpresto might be planning to launch a new figure line focused on mangaka avatars. With that, a fan also posted a picture of Akira Toriyama's avatar, hinting that they wanted a figure based on the legendary manga creator.

Lastly, some other fans noticed that the Oda figure has the manga creator wearing a T-shirt similar to Trafalgar D. Water Law. This observation increased the excitement; they became even more hyped to purchase the figure. Unbeknownst to them, Oda has been drawing himself in the same outfit for years.
