Netflix is making some big changes to the way it makes money from its hit shows and movies. As we’ve seen with Kpop Demon Hunters, they’re banking on fans wanting to buy merch of their favorite characters. Now, Netflix is bringing out a collection of One Piece action figures based on the live-action show ahead of Season 2, which will finally return in March 2026.

Someone at Netflix has clearly been taking notes on our thoughts about certain characters in One Piece, because one of the new products they’re coming out with is a ridiculously adorable Tony Tony Chopper plushie. That little reindeer/human hybrid doctor needs to get home with us right now, but unfortunately, the new One Piece live-action merch won’t be available until January 2026.

There are also action figures for the Straw Hat crew, including Luffy, Nami, and Zoro. Nami, Zoro, Luffy, and Laboon all get their own plushie. “We’re making our mark in this ultra-hot series. Every toy in this line represents a love letter to the fans. We’ve paid attention to the authentic details, giving them different ways to experience their favorite One Piece pirates,” said Joe Smith, vice president of global marketing, licensed brands at Moose Toys. “Whether you’re a kid and this is your first time discovering One Piece, or you’re an OG fan of the original series, there is something for everyone, from action figures to higher-end items, and everything in between.”

All of the action figures and plushies will be available in stores in January 2026, with a full rollout across the US by March 2026, just in time for One Piece Season 2 on Netflix.
