Square Enix opened pre-orders for returning NieR: Automata mini plush of chibi versions of main characters 2B, 9S, and A2. All three are expected to debut in Japan on January 17, 2026. They will be 3,080円 (~$21) each. All three designs are currently available to pre-order in the eStore, as the company still has pre-orders on pause on the US storefront due to President Donald Trump’s tariffs. However, since these did first start to appear in 2017 and did show up worldwide, we will likely see them everywhere again eventually.
Of the three, the A2 one is entirely new and the 2B and 9S mini plush are rereleases of ones that appeared in the past. Both the A2 and 2B are tallest in the set, each coming in at about five and a half inches (140mm). 9S is a little shorter at just under five and a half inches (138mm). All of them seem to feature their clothes sewn on, and they have plush hair. It also seems the masks are sewn over A2 and 9S’ eyes, as the initial photos only show A2’s full and uncovered face.
Here’s how they look:
The Square Enix US storefront does still feature the 2B and 9S mini plush and shows them as being in-stock. It lists each one for $31.99.
The NieR: Automata 2B, 9S, and A2 mini plush will return again in Japan on January 17, 2026. There’s no word on a US release yet. The game is available on the PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and Windows PC. The anime adaptation is streaming via Crunchyroll.
