Prepare To Drown In Five Nights At Freddy's Merchandise
We periodically see video games take the merchandising world by storm. A few year back, you couldn't walk down a store aisle without seeing an item branded with an Angry Bird. Now Minecraft is everywhere. In a few months it appears it will be Five Nights at Freddy's turn.
The indie game series from Scott Cawthon is transforming into a merchandising giant. Stores are already selling various goods such as apparel and phone cases bearing the likeness of Freddy's disturbing animatronic critters. Toy manufacturer Funko is months away from flooding stores with Mystery Minis, 6-inch plush toys, 2.5-inch key chains, whopping 16-inch plush toys, 2-inch action figures, and even pen toppers. Images of all of Funko's merchandise can be seen below.
A film based on the game series is in production with Warner Bros. Cawthon is heavily involved with the picture, which is directed by Gil Kenan.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
