YuMe Toys has launched its second slate of Stranger Things products.
The new range includes Series 2 of YuMe’s Stranger Things Upside Down capsules, including new character designs like Vecna and updated ‘reveal’ features.
Elsewhere, YuMe’s DZNR plush brand is launching a range of 7.5” design-led collectibles, as well as a line of clip-on miniature DZNR plush.
“Based on the popularity and amazing sales of Series 1, we’ve focused Series 2 as a range which includes both design and production excellence,” said Gurdeep Bains, Global Creative Director at YuMe Toys.
“The new range of collectibles can be enjoyed and played with by the wide Stranger Things fanbase. Series 2 is testament to our commitment to delivering on-trend exceptional merchandise for Stranger Things enthusiasts.”
