Winnie the Pooh: the character's full collection in 2026

First published in 1926, Winnie the Pooh has never left pop culture: he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in April 2006, and the original toys that inspired A. A. Milne's books have been on display at the New York Public Library since the 1980s. Few characters have been turned into so many collectables, and 2026 is no exception: a LEGO model of more than a thousand pieces in the spring, plush toys from two different makers, Loungefly bags and wallets, and a series of Funko figures spread from January to the autumn. Here is a look at everything the honey-loving bear has for collectors this year: bricks, figures, plush, accessories and activity books.

This guide covers Pooh alone: for the whole universe, from Tigger to Eeyore and Piglet, see the complete Winnie the Pooh collection.

Who is Winnie the Pooh?

The bear was created by the British writer A. A. Milne, whose book Winnie-the-Pooh was published on 14 October 1926 with illustrations by E. H. Shepard. The characters were based directly on the toys of his son Christopher Robin, starting with a teddy bear bought at Harrods in 1921. The name comes from two sources: Winnie, a black bear at London Zoo that the Canadian vet Harry Colebourn had named after his home town of Winnipeg, and Pooh, the name the boy gave to a swan he fed in the mornings.

Shepard's Pooh wore no clothes: it was the American agent Stephen Slesinger, who held the merchandising rights from the early 1930s, who gave him the short red shirt in 1932 that became his trademark. Disney used this look on screen from the 1966 featurette Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree. Since then, the bear has lived in the Hundred Acre Wood with Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Rabbit and Owl, with one obsession that never leaves him: honey. Jim Cummings has voiced him in English since the late 1980s.

For manufacturers, he is an ideal subject. The figure comes down to two colours and three shapes, and stays easy to recognise in bricks as well as in vinyl; the honey pot works as a signature accessory; and the character's best-known poses, sitting, asleep or carried off by a balloon, lend themselves to many versions. The products below show it.

Funko POP 2026: this year's new Winnie the Pooh figures

This is the character's largest range this year. Funko started at the end of January with three figures released on the same day, then spread the rest over the summer and autumn. The pose changes each time: Pooh asleep, Pooh holding a balloon, Pooh carved from wood, Pooh surrounded by butterflies.

POP Winnie the Pooh with balloon #1681

Released on 30 January 2026, it shows the character's most famous image: Pooh hanging from a light blue balloon, legs dangling, connected to his clear base by a single string. The body has brown honey drips and the usual red shirt. Funko gives a height of about 5.2 in (13.2 cm), balloon included, which is clearly taller than a standard POP.

POP Sleeping Winnie the Pooh #1682

Released the same day, this one does the opposite: Pooh lies on his tummy in the grass, eyes closed, a honey pot against his side. The size follows the pose, as Funko gives a height of just over 2 in (5 cm).

POP Nooks: Winnie the Pooh in the honey tree

Nooks are dioramas: the figure is fixed to a scene and comes in a clear acrylic case, designed to sit between two books on a shelf. Here, Pooh stands in a hollow tree trunk, in front of a wall of honeycomb dripping with honey, with a bee approaching on the left. Funko gives a case height of about 6.3 in (16 cm). Also released at the end of January, it has no box number.

POP Winnie the Pooh with butterflies #1776

Due on 1 August 2026, it shows Pooh sitting, with a butterfly on his ear and three more around him, with blue and purple wings. Funko lists it as a retailer exclusive, supplied with its new authentication seal, and gives a height of about 3.3 in (8.4 cm).

POP Whittled Winnie the Pooh #1761

On 7 August, Funko follows with the Whittled version: the figure keeps the sitting pose and the red shirt, but its whole surface is faceted, as if the bear had been carved with a knife from a block of wood. About 3.2 in (8.1 cm) according to the manufacturer.

POP Premium Winnie the Pooh #1797

The last in the series is due on 1 October 2026 in the Premium range, larger and more detailed than the standard line: Pooh sits in the grass wearing a purple and white striped party hat, surrounded by wrapped presents and ribbons. Funko gives a height of about 5.3 in (13.5 cm) and again reserves it for certain retailers.

Pooh is not the only one getting the Funko treatment this year: Tigger and Eeyore also have their own figures. Here are the licence's POPs released or due in 2026.

LEGO 2026: the Winnie the Pooh model 43300

This is the largest piece of the year, and LEGO openly presents it as a celebration of the character's 100th anniversary. Available since March 2026, LEGO Disney set 43300 has 1,399 pieces and is rated 18+. The brick-built figure shows Pooh sitting, in his red shirt with one arm raised, with a head, ears, arms and hands that can be moved to change the pose. In front of him, a buildable honey barrel marked HUNNY opens to reveal two smaller figures, Pooh and Eeyore, while two buildable bees sit on the rim. It is the biggest Pooh item of the year.

On the same day LEGO released a second set for the anniversary, Piglet's Birthday Fun (43305), this time centred on Pooh's friend.

Winnie the Pooh plush 2026

Two manufacturers share the plush range this year, with several very different takes on the same bear.

The Simba Anniversary 9.8 in (25 cm) plush

Released at the end of January 2026, it is a classic design: golden beige fur, a red shirt printed with the word Pooh in yellow, a sitting position, and a light blue party hat between the ears.

The Simba 5.9 in (15 cm) plush

Same manufacturer, same date, pocket size: 5.9 in (15 cm), bright yellow, also with a red Pooh shirt, but without the hat. It is the small version, the one that fits in a bag.

The Snackles plush by ZURU

Released in April 2026, the Snackles version applies the range's round, stuffed style to the character: Pooh is almost spherical, with his eyes closed in two smiling arcs, and he holds a large honey pot labelled HUNNY with honey spilling over. The manufacturer gives a size of 8 inches.

YuYus, surprise mini plush

Simba also makes Pooh into mini plush keyrings sold in blind boxes, under the name YuYus: the bear wears animal costumes, bee, frog, cow, lion, elephant, giraffe or sheep, and the buyer only finds out which one when opening it. The box lists nine designs to collect. Available since February 2026.

Simba also dresses up Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore in the same anniversary collection. Here are the licence's plush toys released in 2026.

Loungefly 2026: Winnie the Pooh bags and wallets

For accessories, Loungefly has made several pieces featuring the character this year, in very different styles.

The all-over print wallet

Released in January 2026, it is covered in a repeated pattern on a sky blue background: Pooh appears in around ten poses, among bees and honey pots labelled HUNNY. Gold Disney plate in the centre, matching zip, printed faux leather, compact size of about 6.3 in (16 cm) wide.

The mini backpack, an Amazon exclusive

Released in February 2026, this one is much more sculpted. The flap shows Pooh's head in relief, with an added snout and ears, and the word Pooh stamped above; the front pocket shows him hugging Piglet, and the rest of the bag uses shades of honey and cream dotted with embroidered bees. A side panel even shows the definition of the word Honey.

The mini backpack and wallet, floral pattern

Another pair, released in March 2026, takes a completely different style: on a cream background, Pooh sits among flowers and embroidered bees, holding a honey pot. The mini backpack and the wallet use exactly the same pattern, in matching formats.

The micro mini backpack, bee pattern

Released the same month, this micro backpack, smaller than the brand's usual mini backpack, is fully covered in an embroidered bee pattern. Its flap has a raised metal charm showing Pooh, and the two straps clip together to turn the bag into a crossbody bag.

The tote bag, Hundred Acre Wood map

This tote, also released in March 2026, has an illustrated map of the Hundred Acre Wood on the front, with Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore scattered among the trees. The perforated fabric lets you attach pins, and the bag comes with three enamel pins to start with.

The brand also features Eeyore and Tigger in the same range. Here are the licence's Loungefly pieces released in 2026.

Winnie the Pooh books and activity books 2026

Children's publishing also follows the character, with three French titles spread between winter and autumn.

Où se cache Winnie ? (search and find)

Published in France by Hachette at the end of February 2026, this search-and-find book takes readers through the Hundred Acre Wood, spread by spread and season by season, looking for Pooh and his friends.

Colos cachés

This activity book from the French publisher Hemma, due in France on 8 October 2026, offers twenty-four colouring pages to reveal and unfold, all featuring the character.

Crée Winnie en 3D

Released the same day by Hemma, this second activity book combines sixteen colouring pages with two sheets of thick stickers for building a 3D Pooh figure.

Here are the other Winnie the Pooh books and activity books published this year.

Winnie the Pooh, a safe bet for collectors

With the 1,399-piece LEGO model, the Funko series running from January to October, plush from two manufacturers, Loungefly bags and wallets and activity books, the honey-loving bear covers almost every type of collectable in 2026. There is something both for fans of large display pieces and for those looking for a small, inexpensive item.

Below is a selection of Winnie the Pooh collectables.
