Overview
President Curtis didn't exactly win the election fairly (remember those vote-bots from the episode "The Old Man and the Seat"?), but he's definitely won over fans. The alien with a chip on his shoulder and a permanent sneer has become one of the most meme-worthy side characters in Rick and Morty lore. Whether you're team "We're going to have a problem" or just appreciate a good political satire, there's now a solid lineup of President Curtis merch to let everyone know where your loyalties lie.
As the Rick and Morty universe keeps expanding - with Season 8 still on the horizon and the noise around a possible spinoff - it makes sense to grab gear that celebrates a character who's been popping up in TikTok edits and Reddit threads. This isn't about generic alien merch; it's about the specific, scheming charm of the guy who almost took over the galaxy.
Details
Who Is President Curtis?
For the uninitiated: President Curtis is the pompous, vain leader of a distant alien race who first appeared in Season 3 episode 5, "The Old Man and the Seat." He later returned in the "Rickmancing the Stone" episode and became a fan favorite for his over-the-top ego and surprisingly petty grudge against Jerry. His catchphrases - like "I'm the president, you boob!" - live on in clips posted by Adult Swim on YouTube. In 2026, his presence is still strong, especially on platforms like TikTok where users recreating his outbursts have racked up millions of views.
What President Curtis Gear Is Available?
The official Rick and Morty store has stepped up with a few standout items that capture the character's essence:
- President Curtis T-Shirt - This classic tee features a close-up of Curtis with his signature scowl and the text "I Have a Problem." Made from 100% cotton, it's comfortable enough for a Citadel heist or just a trip to the store. Priced at $24.99, it's a straight-to-the-point piece that hardcore fans will recognize instantly.
- President Curtis Hoodie - When the galaxy gets cold, this pullover delivers. The front shows Curtis behind a podium, while the back reads "Vote for Me or Else." It's a thick fleece blend - perfect for marathon-watching all six seasons or attending a local con. Around $54.99, it's the kind of statement piece that earns nods from fellow fans.
- President Curtis Mug - For your morning coffee (or Szechuan sauce), this ceramic mug features Curtis's face with the quote “We're going to have a problem.” Keeps drinks hot, not grudges. A solid $14.99 add-on for anyone who wants their desk to look a little more authoritarian.
There are also smaller items like stickers and pins, but the true headliner is the Featured Product - currently a President Curtis Premium Action Figure, which comes with a removable podium and tiny vote-bot. It's selling fast, likely because collectors anticipate a full spinoff wave if Adult Swim ever greenlights the rumored series.
Why Now?
Even though the show isn't airing new episodes this month (Season 8 is expected late 2026), the fan conversation around President Curtis stays hot. Online petitions for a spinoff, called “President Curtis: The Curtis Cut,” have popped up on Change.org and Twitter. Reddit's r/rickandmorty frequently debates whether he deserves his own show. Buying this merch now means you're ahead of the curve - and maybe signaling to networks that there's demand.
Also, with the 10th anniversary of Rick and Morty passing in 2023, the franchise has leaned heavily into retro and niche character drops. This year, the store reissued several classic designs, and President Curtis gets the spotlight treatment.
Where to Buy
You can find all official President Curtis merch at the official Rick and Morty store. That's the only place guaranteeing authentic designs and officially licensed prints. Avoid third-party sellers - there are plenty of knockoffs on Amazon and Etsy, but they lack the crisp detail and quality materials.
To browse everything, explore the full collection on the store's catalog page. You'll also see the Rick and Morty's merch collection featuring other spinoff-centric gear, like Birdperson totes and Mr. Poopybutthole hats.
If you're specifically looking for the action figure I mentioned, check the Featured Product section on the homepage - it's currently listed with a note that stock is limited.
FAQ

Yes, all items sold through the official Rick and Morty store are officially licensed. They're produced under direct partnership with Adult Swim, so you're getting the real deal - not a bootleg from a random vendor.
Will there be more President Curtis products if a spinoff happens?
Likely yes. A spinoff would almost certainly expand the merchandise line. For now, the current selection covers T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, and a collector action figure. Keep an eye on the store if you're holding out for something specific.

Where can I find President Curtis merch in other stores?
Large retailers like Hot Topic and BoxLunch occasionally carry Rick and Morty gear, but they don't always stock niche characters like President Curtis. Your best bet is the official store, which has the broadest selection and reliable stock.
Are there any discounts available on President Curtis merch?
The official store occasionally runs site-wide sales, especially around holidays or new episode drops. Signing up for the newsletter can give you a heads-up on promo codes. Right now there's no specific President Curtis discount, but bundle deals on multiple items exist. - -
If you're looking for something connected to the controversial president of a distant galaxy, the President Curtis T-Shirt is a good place to start. It's simple, recognizable, and pairs well with a disdain for democracy. - -
