Universal Studios Japan has long outdone both Universal Studios Hollywood and the Universal Parks and Resorts in Orlando on both the cute merch and foodie game. Whether it’s Minions, Jaws (look up the Jaws hot dog pocket), Nintendo, Chucky, Casper, Back to the Future, or E.T. the Extraterrestrial—the the adorable and intricate factor is always unmatched. This cute but ugly weird line of E.T. merch that just came out is perfection, and we want it all.
Behold!
No, really... it’s to measure things. What were you thinking?
The desk buddy is watching.
This iconic E.T. drag look is a moment.
He’ll be right wherever you are.
I would just endlessly be tapping my feet so they meet.
These are perfect, I don’t care how weird they are. These earrings are a statement.
Where to begin? This the pièce de résistance because not only is it the most unhinged yet on brand piece of merchandise for E.T. it really has the most surprising use. It’s a technology cushion bar for your wrists while typing so it makes sense! I have never seen anything like it and I’m earnestly in awe of the ingenuity. We need more of this.
Will E.T. on my head control my movements?
Hands down my personal favorite item, “be good” on the go with your tech! We don’t have things like this at our Universal Studios and it’s unfair—I love merch that’s both cute and useful.
OK, this one looks normal until you realize there’s an alien sticking feet first out of a flower. That’s a choice, a mystery... perhaps E.T. said “There can only be one.”
Otherwise a perfectly cute version of E.T., but the light up finger reminds us of eating cheesy snacks.
These work with clean up after snacks. The design elicits some questions. What is E.T.’s favo “rite” besides imprinting on children to survive on planet Earth? Kidding aside, these little practical towels make so much more sense than merch in the states. We love a functionality moment.
A sight to be excited to wake up to.
Look at the nostalgic color palette of these dishes—and the all-knowing affirmation to “Be Good” from E.T., because we know he’s watching and feeling what you’re seeing and feeling.
This plush beats out E.T. plushes we’ve seen at Universal Studios Orlando in realism, and it’s true to size for the Amblin toy collector. It totally won’t be creepy at night in the dark.
For even more of the E.T. merch line (including that E.T. in a bike basket sculpture in the first image), visit the official page on the Universal Studios Japan website and be warned that these items are only available in the Osaka theme park in Asia. So you’ll have to plan a trip to get a chance at nabbing any of the above!
