1.4-Meter Metal Chain, Riveted Leather, and European Stockouts: Rockstar’s $24.99 Chop Dog Leash Resurfaces Ahead of GTA 6
With less than two weeks remaining before Grand Theft Auto VI launches worldwide on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, fan anticipation is spilling over into every corner of the official Rockstar Games Store. Among the apparel and collector posters, one unexpected item has captured the attention of pet owners looking to celebrate the countdown: the official Chop Leash and Collar set, priced at $24.99 (€24.99 in Europe).
Modeled directly after the heavy-duty gear worn by Chop, the loyal Rottweiler belonging to Lamar Davis and Franklin Clinton in Grand Theft Auto V, the set is built as genuine everyday pet hardware rather than a fragile costume prop. As players gear up to trade the streets of Los Santos for the neon highways of Leonida, demand for the set has already triggered stockouts across international store regions.
Heavy-Duty Riveted Leather, Dual D-Rings, and a 4.5-Foot Metal Chain
Rather than slapping a brightly colored sticker onto a generic nylon strap, Rockstar Games engineered the Chop Leash and Collar set for medium and large dogs using thick black leather and solid metal hardware. The collar measures 1 inch (2.5 cm) in width and features four-rivet metal fastenings paired with two heavy-duty metal D-rings.
The branding is deliberately subtle: Grand Theft Auto V lettering is debossed tone-on-tone along both sides of the leather strap, while the iconic R* Rockstar Games emblem is stamped into the leather tongue next to the buckle. The matching leash consists of a 4.5-foot (1.4-meter) metal link chain equipped with a heavy-duty metal bolt snap fastener and a stitched black leather loop handle bearing a second debossed Rockstar logo near the rivets.
According to the official Rockstar Store specifications, the collar is offered in two adjustable sizes:
- Medium (M, SKU 28907-DE): 1 inch wide by 12.5 to 15 inches long (2.5 cm x 31.75 cm to 38 cm).
- Large (L, SKU 28906-DE): 1 inch wide by 15 to 18 inches long (2.5 cm x 38 cm to 45.5 cm).
Regional Stockouts and Skyrocketing Collector Prices for Chop Merch
While the $24.99 price tag makes it one of the most accessible physical collectibles in Rockstar’s catalog, availability is already tight. On the European storefront, both Medium and Large sizes are currently listed as Out of Stock, and Rockstar enforces a strict limit of 4 units per order whenever inventory is replenished to deter resellers.
Secondary market history shows just how quickly Chop memorabilia can appreciate. The discontinued Chop Plush Collectible, originally sold on the Rockstar Warehouse for $30.00 with a bullet-shaped whistle and a hidden Velcro stash pouch, routinely commands between $200 and $500+ on collector marketplaces today. Canine companions and working dogs are also set to play a much deadlier role in the upcoming sequel, where players will have to evade the new police K-9 units deployed across Leonida in GTA 6 during high-level pursuits.
My Take
What I love about the $24.99 Chop Leash and Collar set is that it completely avoids the trap of tacky, overpriced novelty merch. By using thick black leather and subtle tone-on-tone debossing that you only notice up close, Rockstar created a piece of dog gear that costs roughly the same as a standard pet store chain leash while holding a genuine nod to gaming history.
At a time when the first physical PS5 boxes for GTA 6 are already arriving at retail ahead of the November 19 launch, taking your dog for a walk with Franklin and Lamar’s iconic Rottweiler collar is a fun, understated way to mark the end of a thirteen-year wait between entries.
