Sony may be shutting down its official PlayStation Gear store, but merch is becoming an increasingly important part of its business.

It’s no surprise, then, it’s partnering with Walmart on a bunch of exclusive items inspired by some of its most beloved brands. These products will be available both online and in select stores.

Among the items is an adorable Astro Bot lunch box, complete with lenticular eyes which change depending on the angle you’re looking at it.

You’ll also be able to grab a PlayStation-inspired jersey and a mini backpack based on the one worn by Ellie in The Last of Us: Part 1.

Sony’s also partnering with Meltz to make a line of Twisted Metal ice cream figurines, which seem like a great fit – especially ahead of Halloween.

But our favourites are these Monogram backpack clips, featuring PlayStation protagonists new and old. Among the options are Astro Bot, Aloy, Ellie, Sly Cooper, Sweet Tooth, and Kratos.

There’s no word on release dates or pricing for any of these items, but you should slowly start to see them roll out later this year.
