Princess Donut Blind Box Plushies Are Getting Shown Off at NYCC Alongside Dungeon Crawler Carl Action Figures
Dungeon Crawler Carl, Matt Dinniman’s LitRPG novel series, continues its rapid expansion into mainstream franchise territory with a major showcase at New York Comic Con. The series has cultivated a substantial fanbase throughout 2026, driving its transition from indie web novel to significant entertainment property.
The franchise is prominently displayed at NYCC with newly released action figures and toys featuring characters from the series. Convention attendees also got an exclusive first look at three Princess Donut plushies from the upcoming Princess Posse Plush Blind Box collection—a collectible line first announced in late August.
The blind boxes represent the franchise’s diversification into collectible merchandise. These sealed boxes contain randomly selected character variants, appealing to collectors who enjoy the surprise element. Pre-orders are currently available through retailers including EB Games.
The convention presence marks a significant moment for the franchise’s growing commercial momentum. What originated as a web-based LitRPG narrative has evolved into a multi-format franchise spanning action figures, plush toys, and other physical merchandise. The NYCC showcase not only serves as a major marketing opportunity for upcoming releases but also allows fans to examine products before purchase, generating enthusiasm within gaming and collector communities.
