The multiverse of Rick and Morty continues to expand, and with it comes a fresh wave of limited edition merchandise that collectors and fans alike are scrambling to snag. This month's drops are particularly exciting, featuring collaborations with top brands, exclusive apparel runs, and rare action figures that capture the show's most iconic moments. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting your stash, here's your guide to what's new and how to secure these coveted items before they vanish.
Exclusive Collaborations Hitting the Shelves
One of the biggest trends this month is the surge in collaborative releases. Think Rick and Morty teaming up with streetwear brands like Undefeated or specialty toy makers like Super7. These partnerships bring a fresh aesthetic to familiar characters, often with limited production runs that make them instant grails. For instance, the new "Interdimensional Customs" line by Super7 features a set of four figures - each with unique accessories inspired by alternate reality episodes. Only 500 sets exist globally, and they hit select retailers this week.
Another standout is the collaboration with Vans, releasing a pair of sneakers featuring the classic portal green and meeseeks box motifs. These are not your everyday shoes - each pair comes numbered and includes a special pin. The drop is timed with the show's latest season premiere, so expect fierce competition. Keep an eye on the official Adult Swim Twitter for exact release times, as these sell out within minutes.
Limited Run Apparel - Sizes Selling Fast
Apparel remains the most accessible entry point for fans, but limited runs mean popular sizes vanish quickly. This month's highlight is the "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub" hoodie from the collaboration with streetwear brand Pizzaslime. It features a distressed print of the iconic phrase over a dimensional portal design, and only 1,000 units were produced. Small and medium sizes are already sold out, with large and XL dwindling fast.
Additionally, the "Pickle Rick" camouflage long-sleeve tee from a exclusive drop last week is seeing a restock this Friday. But here's the twist - the restock is only for sizes XS and XXL, catering to those who missed out earlier. The lesson: if you see a size you want, don't hesitate. Limited edition apparel often has no restocks after initial runs. For best luck, set up stock alerts on the store's product pages.
Rare Action Figures and Vinyls to Watch For
For serious collectors, the action figure and vinyl category offers high value. This month, a new wave of Nendoroid figures from Good Smile Company features Birdperson and Tammy in their wedding attire, plus a Phoenixperson variant. Each figure comes with multiple face plates and accessories, such as Birdperson's sword and Tammy's betrayal expression. Only 2,000 are produced, and they are exclusive to the Adult Swim store.
Over in the vinyl realm, the "Morty's Mind Blowers" 7-inch single from the show's soundtracks is getting a limited pressing on green and translucent yellow split vinyl. It includes a bonus track - a 10-minute improvisation by the voice actors. This record is a must-have for audiophiles and fans alike. The pressing is limited to 500 copies, and pre-orders opened this morning. Already, the waitlist has over 1,000 signups.
How to Get Early Access to New Merch
The biggest challenge with limited edition drops is beating the crowd. Fortunately, several strategies can give you an edge. First, join the official Rick and Morty newsletter - subscribers often receive early access codes and drop notifications up to 48 hours before the general public. Second, follow the merchandise accounts on social media, especially Instagram and Twitter, where surprise drops are announced without warning. Many storefronts also offer "preorder windows" for high-demand items, so sign up for those alerts.
Another insider tip: use auto-fill tools for checkout. Items can sell out in under 90 seconds, so having your payment and shipping information pre-loaded is critical. Some collectors even set up browser extensions that monitor page changes. Finally, consider the secondary market cautiously. While prices may dip after the initial frenzy, some items appreciate. Stick to reputable platforms like StockX or eBay with authentication guarantees.
This month's drops represent some of the most creative fan merchandise to date. With the show's enduring popularity, these limited editions are more than just merch - they are pieces of the multiverse you can own. Act fast, plan ahead, and may the portal gun be with you.
