The world is ablaze with Stranger Things mania since the release of the series finale. Fans are flocking to get their hands on products inspired by the Netflix sci-fi show, with items like the LEGO Creel House set and a McDonald’s meal featuring themed packaging and exclusive collectibles only available in select international markets.
If you find yourself in Europe, you might have the chance to snag a limited-edition Stranger Things toy inside a Kinder Joy treat. These collectibles have caused quite a stir, but unfortunately, they are currently only available in countries across mainland Europe.
The Stranger Things x Funko Pop! Kinder Joy collaboration has been a hit, with the chocolate eggs and figurines selling out quickly at retailers like Lidl, Kaufland, and Zabka. The Kinder website encourages fans to collect all 24 figurines, which feature characters like Steve Harrington, Max, Dustin, Will, Mike, Lucas, Eleven, a Demogorgon, Hopper, and Erica.
There are also Upside Down collections with characters in alternate dimensions, like Robin and Steve in their Scoops Ahoy costumes, Vecna, and Eleven in her wetsuit. The demand for these rare collectibles is high, with full collections and individual eggs being resold on European marketplaces for sky-high prices.
While fans in the U.S. are left wondering why these collectibles aren’t available on their side of the pond, there is hope as previous collaborations like Super Mario with Kinder had a U.S. rollout announced several months after the European launch. So, perhaps there is a chance that the Stranger Things Kinder Joy collaboration will make its way to American shores in the future.
The thrill of the hunt for these Stranger Things collectibles has fans eagerly waiting for a chance to score their favorite characters. Whether you’re a devoted fan or a casual collector, the quest for these rare figurines is a testament to the enduring popularity of the hit show.
