To be honest, other than Chopper, the rest of the One Piece characters aren't very "cute". But chibi-fy them and they become the most adorable things ever! Making something chibi is like rearranging their proportions to give an over-sized head and tiny limbs in proportion to the body.
Anyway, the chibi-arts that have been released so far (and I got my hands on)! Nami, Luffy and Boa Hancock. (Ace comes out later in Dec 2011 btw!)
First out was Boa Hancock in July 2011.
As mentioned, they come with interchangeable faces, limbs, bodies and for Boa Hancock's case, interchangeable hair and legs as well. The limbs are rotatable, and a stand to prop up the figure comes along with the kit. 
The "Looking down so much that she's looking up instead" pose.
They even include a bunch of quotes in speech/effect bubbles that you can put on a stand and display together with the figure :D 
Then came Luffy in Aug 2011.
Luffy's parts - 3 faces, 3 sets of arms, 2 torsos, 1 set of legs, a hat, a cape, a mug and a drumstick.Plus a clear stand to prop him up.
I should've given him a more greedy-looking pose by using the inflated stomach body :P
Luffy's captions.
Nami came out end-Oct 2011. 
She comes with 3 faces, sets of legs - kneeling and standing, a few sets of arms and a Clima-tact.
I'm adoring their cuteness and can't wait for the rest to come get released! Hopefully they do get released and not remain as prototypes, and hopefully they get released regularly, and not like one every 2-3 months -.-
