Exclusive ONE PIECE x NBA Chopper Plushies Set for May Release
Orders have officially opened for a line of adorable plushies that form part of an ongoing crossover between ONE PIECE and the NBA.
The new “ONE PIECE x NBA CHOPPER’s PLUSH” line features Tony Tony Chopper in the uniform of six iconic basketball franchises.
One Piece is a colossal pirate adventure manga created by Eiichiro Oda that follows the Straw Hat crew’s voyage across the Grand Line.
The ship’s doctor is Tony Tony Chopper, a blue-nosed reindeer who consumed the Human-Human Fruit, granting him the ability to transform and speak.
He is one of the most recognizable characters in Japanese pop culture, often starring in his own spin-off media and merchandise lines.
The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the premier global professional basketball league, boasting millions of fans and legendary sports teams.
The collaboration between One Piece and the NBA has already seen the release of a range of S.H. Figuarts figures of Luffy wearing team jerseys.
This new line of soft toys sees the lovable doctor Chopper don the uniforms of some of the sport’s most famous and successful squads.
