Moose Toys has announced that it is partnering with Netflix on a globally licensed toy line for the live-action TV adaptation of One Piece. Additional details have not yet been confirmed, but more information will be updated on the company’s website later.
One Piece fans can expect an extensive new line of toys featuring the Straw Hat pirate crew, which includes action figures, playsets, plush, roleplay, and collectibles of Monkey D. Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji.
The One Piece franchise has collaborated with many brands due to the 25th anniversary of the TV anime series and the popularity of Netflix’s live-action series. Earlier this January, it was announced that a LEGO set based on Netflix’s series will be released at a future date.
Other recent partnerships and collaborations have been formed with the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers, MLB’s Boston Red Sox, and Universal Studio’s Hollywood Fan Fest Nights, among others.
The second season of Netflix’s One Piece live-action series began filming in June 2024 and recently wrapped production. It is expected to premiere later this year. The first season contained eight total episodes and was released on Netflix on August 31, 2023.
Eiichiro Oda’s original manga series was launched in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine on July 22, 1997 under the Jump Comics label. A total of 110 tankobon volumes have been released as of July 2024, with a 111th volume set for release on March 4, 2025.
The manga inspired a 1999 OVA from Production I.G and a long-running TV anime adaptation from Toei Animation that has been broadcasted since 1999. The latter surpassed the 1000th episode mark on November 21, 2021. The franchise has also inspired numerous anime films, stage plays, video games, drama CDs, card games, art and guidebooks, and more.
