Featured Product: Squid Game Funko Pop! Vinyl Figures | $11
It’s honestly really awesome to see non-English international media make its way into the mainstream. At his Oscar speech for Parasite, Bong Joon Ho made the statement, “ Once you overcome the 1-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.” Well, the same can be said about TV shows too and it looks like America has taken his advice, bringing the South Korean survival drama Squid Game to the top of Netflix’s charts.
This massively successful series came just in time for Halloween. The 9-episode binge-worthy battle royale is filled with iconic outfits that can easily be adapted for either solo or group costumes. There’s also some other great merch from the series.
Squid Game Funko Pop! Vinyl Figures | $11
Funko Pops have arrived from all of Netflix’s hit new miniseries, Squid Game. Honestly, it was just a matter of time for these to come out given how popular the series has become. There are six figures total—one of the red soldiers in a mask and then five of the games’ participants. These include Seong Gi-Hun, Oh Il-nam, Kang Sae-byeok, Cho Sang-Woo, and Abdul Ali. The players are sporting props from the various games like the bags of marbles, the dalgona candy, and the glass hopping numbered bib. I just wish they had one of Gong Woo in a suit with his hand raised, ready to slap me. Perhaps if we get a second batch.

Squid Game Costume Doll Girl | $17
Episode 1 of Squid Game opens with a bang, watching 255 players’ lives eliminated as they could not stay still during Red Light, Green Light.
