Jenna Ortega is being shrunk into two different Wednesday Addams action figures heading into Netflix's Wednesday Season 2.
Ortega's career, of course, shot into the stratosphere with her role as the iconic Addams Family teen with the release of the first season of Wednesday in 2022. Since then, Wednesday — created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and executive produced and directed by Tim Burton — has gone on to become the most-streamed series in Netflix's history with 252.1 million views, which equates to nearly 1.719 billion hours viewed.
Now, ahead of the scheduled debut on Wednesday Season 2 in August, toy and collectibles company NECA is releasing new action figures from the series.
In a post on the company's Facebook page over the weekend, NECA pictured three 8-inch scale retro-style action figures with cloth outfits from Wednesday. Two of the figures are of Ortega's Wednesday Addams while the third is of Wednesday's roommate Enid Sinclair (Emma Meyers).
One of the figures features Wednesday wearing her trademark black-and-white polka-dot dress with the disembodied hand, Thing, on her shoulder, while the other figure is of Wednesday wearing her Nevermore Academy uniform. The Enid figure also features the character wearing her Nevermore uniform.
Since NECA tends to include character accessories with its action figure releases, more will surely be revealed when the figures go on sale on NECA's retail site on Wednesday (naturally). The release date of the new action figures has not yet been announced.
NECA previously released a cartoonish Toony Terrors figure of her character, Astrid, along with her mother, Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) as part of the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice line, which also featured figures of Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) and Dante's Inferno playset from the first Beetlejuice movie.
Other Wednesday dolls and action figures have previously been released by such toys and collectibles companies as Mattel and Mezco.
Right now, the NECA Wednesday action figures of Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair are only partially pictured in NECA's Facebook post, which you can see below.
The upcoming second season of Wednesday wrapped up Netflix TUDUM 2025 on Saturday, which highlighted several of the streaming platforms upcoming original films and TV series, including director Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Rian Johnson's Wake Up, Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery and Stranger Things Season 5.
Jenna Ortega was on hand with some of the Wednesday Season 2 castmates to help introduce the first six minutes of Episode 1 the upcoming season, which is titled, Here We Woe Again.
In the opening, Wednesday recounts her summer break before returning to Nevermore Academy, which included a harrowing encounter with a creepy serial killer named Chet (Haley Joel Osment). The scene also included the previously released footage of Wednesday relinquishing a batch of twisted tools at an airport security checkpoint.
In addition to the scene, Netflix officially revealed Lady Gaga's character as Rosaline Rotwood, a former Nevermore teacher whom Wednesday encounters.
Netflix TUDUM 2025 wrapped up with an elaborately staged trio of songs by Lady Gaga that included "Zombieboy," "Bloody Mary" and "Abracadabra.'
Wednesday Season 2 will be released in two parts that consist of four episodes each. Wednesday Season 1, Part 1 will premiere on Wednesday, Aug. 6, and Part 2 arrives on Wednesday, Sept. 3.
