Character background and lore
Dr Vegapunk is the world’s greatest scientific genius in the legendary One Piece manga and anime series created by Eiichiro Oda. Working on behalf of the World Government as head of the Navy’s scientific division and the SSG (Special Science Group), his revolutionary inventions (such as the Pacifistas, the Seraphim and the use of Marine Granite on ships) are estimated to be more than 500 years ahead of current technology.
Having consumed the Nomi Nomi no Mi (the Brain Fruit), Vegapunk possesses the ability to store an unlimited amount of knowledge, which has caused his skull to grow disproportionately over the decades. To overcome this physical limitation, he eventually severed his own brain so that it could be stored in a huge dome on Egghead Island, connecting his consciousness remotely via an apple-shaped antenna planted on his head. This figurine perfectly captures this unique appearance, with his long neck and tongue sticking out – a direct homage to Albert Einstein – symbolising in itself the scientific turning point and major revelations of the Egghead Arc.
