Decided to chance it and ordered five of these (3 in one shipment and 2 in the other) and thankfully got five different figures – arlong, jinbe, shirahoshi, zoro and otohime. I've ordered another and hopefully there wont be any double ups! It definitely helps, I think, to leave some space between orders if you want to avoid getting 2 of the same. With other products such as the chozoukei damashi figures I've had two of the same only in orders I made where I got 2 or 3 at a time. On the actual figures – they are SUPER cute and well made, especially jinbe and shirahoshi. they also fit well on the pegs which is something that isn't always true :)
