All the New LEGO One Piece Sets; Jump To:LEGO One Piece Season 2 Tony Tony Chopper SetLEGO

Of course, Tony Tony Chopper completely stole the show in One Piece season two. So it makes a lot of sense that an entire LEGO One Piece set is devoted to Chopper. This adorable reindeer-hybrid looked incredible and incredibly adorable in Netflix’s live-action series. And looks just as good made out of bricks.

Netflix shares of this One Pieces season two LEGO set, “Recreate the adorable reindeer-boy hybrid in intricate detail with this 7.5-inch tall, 577-piece set. He’s fully posable and comes equipped with authentic accessories, including a book, syringe, and a detachable blue backpack.” Meanwhile, LEGO notes, “The Chopper building figure can either stand or sit, be freestanding or positioned securely on its stand with an accompanying nameplate. Position and pose the model for dynamic play or display by moving the jointed arms, head and mouth. Authentic accessories include a book, box, syringe, bottle and a larger bottle containing a rumble ball. Chopper also has a detachable blue backpack, which opens to provide storage space. A soft piece of textile sits over the figure’s shoulders to represent his fur.”

OH MY GOD. Not the fur. We are squealing about how cute LEGO Chopper is. You can pre-order LEGO Chopper today. And here are some other details to know about this adorable One Piece LEGO build.

LEGO One Piece Season 2 Dr. Hiriluk’s Hideout SetLEGO

Chopper needs a place to live and learn, doesn’t he? For that, we have the Dr. Hiriluk’s Hideout LEGO set. Chopper’s first found family included Dr. Hiriluk and Dr. Kureha. Of course, he LOVED Dr. Hiriluk with all his heart. And we know Dr. Hiriluk thought of Chopper as his son. Just remembering THAT moment from One Piece season two brings tears to our eyes.

Here’s what Netflix had to share about the LEGO One Piece Dr. Hiriluk’s Hideout set, “Bring the early parts of Chopper’s journey to life, one LEGO brick at a time. This 271-piece set features the beloved reindeer boy in LEGO Minifigure form for the first time ever, along with Minifigures of Dr. Hiriluk and Dr. Kureha — the family that helped Chopper fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor.

There’s even a secret dossier tile for collectors to discover.”

Jump To:LEGO Dorry vs. Brogy — Giants of the Little Garden One Piece Season 2 SetLEGO

Making a LEGO set featuring “giant” Giant builds is pure genius. And Little Garden happens to be one of our favorite arcs from One Piece season two, so we love to see its by turns, tragic, by turns, heart-warming fun captured in a LEGO set. LEGO One Piece‘s Dorry vs. Brogy — Giants of the Little Garden perfectly captures all the elements we saw in season two of the series. Jolly giants, the menace of Baroque Works, the chaotic good of the Straw Hat pirates, and more.

Jump To:LEGO One Piece Season 2 Battle at Drum Castle SetLEGO

The major battle in One Piece season two took place in Drum Castle. There, Luffy, Sanji, Vivi and Chopper faced off against Baroque Works-backed King Wapol, who did not deserve the title of king at all. Of course, the King had a newly gifted Devil Fruit power, making him extra dangerous. But happily, good prevailed. Now you can recreate all the majesty of this season two clash in LEGO One Piece form.

Netflix shares, “Charge into battle with this recreation of Captain Smoker riding a brick-built motorbike. Plumes of cigar smoke not included.” Okay, but we do see some cool smoke action around Smoker’s Minifigure.

SCREAM 4 Gets 4K Blu-ray Steelbook and VHS Tape Release

The Nerdist - Thu, 04/09/2026 - 08:46

It is hard to believe that there’s an eighth Scream film coming our way in the future. It seems like yesterday when the franchise came roaring back to life with Scream (2022). That fifth film arrived more than a decade after Scream 4, which many people thought would be the end of the franchise. Well, that’s after we thought the trilogy wrapped up Sidney’s story more than 11 years before that. Scream 4 ended up being a welcome addition to the roster, and one that ranks highly with some fans. Others like to poke fun at it, specifically its weird cinematic sheen and the bonkers scene where Jill beats herself up. Now, Scream 4 is getting the 4K treatment with a Blu-ray Steelbook edition (with artwork by Gnah Studios) as well as a VHS tape. 

We love a good “be kind, rewind” moment. These limited releases are a pretty big deal considering that it can be hard to find Scream 4 streaming from time to time. Usually, the first three films are on a streaming service together because they were produced and distributed by the same company.

Lionsgate Limited

And, the last two films have a home on Paramount+ for the same reason. That will also be true for Scream 7 when it is on streaming. Scream 4 has always floated on its own with different distribution, so being able to own it is exciting. 

Check out the synopsis to go along with these Scream 4 releases:

Debuting in blood-chilling 4K! Scream 4 amps up the carnage in horror master Wes Craven’s hall-of-mirrors fourth Scream installment. It’s the anniversary of the original Ghostface murders, and Sidney (Neve Campbell) has returned to Woodsboro to promote her new book about surviving the masked killer. But Ghostface still haunts Woodsboro – slashing through Jill’s (Emma Roberts) circle of friends, outwitting Sheriff Dewey (David Arquette), taunting tough-skinned reporter Gale (Courteney Cox)…and relentlessly stalking Sidney, Ghostface’s ultimate prize.

Lionsgate Limited

Now, let’s break down all the features that you’ll get: 

Special Features on the 4K+ BD + Digital

Lionsgate Limited Extras:

·     The Meta of Scream 

·     Rebooting the Franchise: Scream 4 Revisited 

·     Ghostface Revealed!

·     Wes Craven: The Maestro of Scream

Legacy Special Features:

·      Feature Commentary with Director Wes Craven and Cast Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, and Neve Campbell

·      Deleted and Extended Scenes

·      Alternate Opening

·      Extended Ending

·      Gag Reel

·      EPKs:

B-Roll 

Soundbites

·      Junket Interviews

·      Trailers

·      TV Spot

We love to see it, just like we love looking at the Scream Steelbook cover and that very rad VHS tape. Pre-orders are available at Lionsgate Limited, with a release date of June 9.

Brad Bird’s RAY GUNN Announces Loaded Cast, Shares First Images

The Nerdist - Thu, 04/09/2026 - 07:06

Today in “Obvious Things”: Brad Bird knows animation. The Iron Giant director has Academy Awards for both The Incredibles and Ratatouille. With that kind of resume, you might think he can get anyone he wants to work on his movies. That is another “Obvious Thing.” And in case it wasn’t, Netflix has just confirmed it. The streamer announced the cast of his next film, Ray Gunn, and it’s loaded. When it releases later this year, it will star Sam Rockwell, Scarlett Johansson, and Tom Waits. But just as impressive as that cast are the first images from the stylish animation that will blend genres.

Netflix

The film, produced by Skydance Animation, will see Rockwell voicing the titular Raymond Gunn. Scarlett Johansson will play Venus Nova. And Tom Waits is Eyera. These first-look Ray Gunn images, (and even the film’s title) do a good job of capturing the premise. Ray Gunn is retro sci-fi noir. Here’s the official synopsis from Netflix:

In Metropia, a gigantic city in an alternate future as seen from 1939, private eye Raymond Gunn is drawn into a case involving aliens, murder and a multimedia star named Venus Nova.  

Netflix

Bird, who also co-wrote the film with Matthew Robbins, says the idea for this film is many years in the making. “Ray Gunn has been in my mind for over 30 years,” he said in a press release. “The film is a blend of sci-fi and classic detective movies from the ’40s…it’s Maltese Falcon meets Buck Rogers. I’ve been a fan of both of those sort of genres, and blending them together seemed fun, and a chance to play with a lot of very cinematic elements, and extreme characters.”

Netflix

Johansson also shared what it was like getting to work with such a legendary director. “Having the opportunity to collaborate with Brad Bird is a career milestone for me; I have loved his work my entire life,” she said in a statement. “This project is so uniquely special because it is a total realization of where Brad is currently on his artistic journey. I can’t wait for audiences to see this extraordinary animation that looks like nothing else out there.”

See? He really can get anyone he wants.

Ray Gunn will release in 2026.
