Michael Kwan, CEO, YuMe Toys, added: “We’re excited to partner with Toikido to be part of the Among Us gaming phenomenon. The demand for product from the fan community can be seen through the impressive meme culture and millions of Twitch followers.

The first Among Us toys from YuMe and Toikido will be available to the public at selected retailers across the US, Canada and Europe from June 2021.
