Apparel for the Show Floor

A great Comic Con outfit needs to handle long convention days while letting your fandom shine. These two apparel pieces work as solo statements or as foundations for layering with denim, cargo shorts, or full cosplay setups.

All Friends Welcome Sleeveless Shirt

Open up your shoulders for the late spring crowd with the All Friends Welcome Sleeveless Shirt in black. The cut runs slightly oversized for an easy, breathable fit that holds up across hours of walking, queuing, and panel hopping. Size M measures 71.5cm back length, 57cm bust, and 44cm shoulder width, while size L extends to 75.5cm back length, 61cm bust, and 48cm shoulder width. The 100% cotton construction keeps things comfortable through Hong Kong's late spring heat, and the sleeveless silhouette frees up your arms for selfies, autograph queues, and reaching across crowded merch tables. Priced at HK$298.

Stranger Things Demo Tee

The Stranger Things Demo Tee in black is the workhorse of any fan's convention wardrobe. Cut from 100% cotton and offered across three sizes, it pairs cleanly with cargo shorts, layered flannels, or full Hellfire Club cosplay. Size S measures 68cm back length and 53cm bust, size M sits at 71cm back length and 56cm bust, and size L runs 74cm back length and 59cm bust. The 100% cotton fabric breathes well during long indoor days, which matters when you are queuing for panels in summer heat. Priced at HK$368.

Bags and Pouches for Your Convention Hauls

Comic Con shopping demands a reliable carrier, and the right organisation system saves real time at the registers. These two pieces work as a complete setup or as standalone purchases depending on how much you plan to take home.

Hellfire Club Large Tote Bag

The Hellfire Club Large Tote Bag in white with black trim is the flagship carrier in this drop. Built from 80% polyester and 20% cotton, it measures 50cm long, 37cm wide, and 15cm tall, with a 27cm handle drop that sits comfortably on the shoulder over hoodies and tees. The proportions hold a full convention haul, from folded tees and posters to enamel pins and plush keychains picked up across the weekend. Priced at HK$288, it delivers serious capacity without the premium price tag of branded crossbody bags.

HFC Dice Mini Pouch

For pin trades, charging cables, and the loose change that always seems to multiply at conventions, the HFC Dice Mini Pouch in red is a quietly useful piece. Cut from 100% polyester and measuring 13.5cm by 13cm with a slim 1.5cm depth, it tucks easily inside a larger tote or backpack and keeps small valuables separate from your bulkier purchases. Priced at HK$138, it works as a quick souvenir on its own or as a practical companion to the Hellfire Club Tote for a coordinated set.

Collectibles, Keepsakes and the Comic Con Exclusive

The smaller pieces in this drop carry surprising staying power. Each one travels light, slots into daily routines after the convention ends, and works as a thoughtful gift for fellow fans. One piece in particular is only available at Comic Con itself.

Stranger Things Mini Camera

The Stranger Things Mini Camera is one of the most playful pieces in the collection, capturing the analog spirit of the show in a wearable, functional format. Built from ABS and silicone in black, the camera measures 6cm by 3cm by 4.6cm and comes packaged with a lanyard, data cable, and sticker for personalisation. Wear it around your neck on the show floor, then keep it on your desk as a working keepsake. The included data cable lets you transfer photos after the event. Priced at HK$498.

Demogorgon Plush Cardholder

The Demogorgon Plush Cardholder turns one of the show's most iconic creatures into a daily carry essential. Measuring 21cm long and 9cm wide, the polyester and PVC build holds Octopus cards, office passes, and small bank cards while clipping easily to bags and belt loops. Priced at HK$238, it transitions cleanly from the convention floor to morning MTR commutes, which gives it real value well past Comic Con weekend.

Stranger Things Playing Cards

Game night just got more interesting. The Stranger Things Playing Cards come in a classic 6.3cm by 8.8cm format on 100% paper stock with a striking black themed design. They make a strong pickup for fans who want a piece that gets pulled out repeatedly, whether for casual rounds at the dining table or as part of a Hellfire Club inspired tabletop evening. Priced at HK$138.

Stranger Things Acrylic Pen Holder

At HK$98, the Stranger Things Acrylic Pen Holder is the most accessible piece in this lineup and one of the most practical. Crafted from 100% acrylic in red, it stands 8.5cm by 7.7cm with a 10.5cm height, comfortably holding pens, scissors, makeup brushes, or chopsticks. It ships in tidy 11cm by 14cm packaging, so it doubles as a quick gift for colleagues or fellow fans who could not make it to the show floor.

Stranger Things Collector's Box Set (Comic Con Limited Edition)

Reserved for the event itself, the Stranger Things Collector's Box Set is the piece serious fans should plan their Comic Con weekend around. The Comic Con Limited Edition box includes a photobook, a notebook, embroidered patches, and a leaflet, all packaged in a black collector's case. Because this drop is exclusive to Comic Con Hong Kong 2026, it will not be available through standard retail channels after the event. Plan to arrive early on opening day to secure yours.

Comic Con Budget Planner

Stranger Things merch at NS Collective covers a wide price range, which makes the collection accessible whether you are picking up a quick souvenir or investing in a wardrobe upgrade. Here is how the ten pieces above sort across spending tiers.

What to Pack for the Show Floor

A few practical notes for fans planning their Comic Con day around new purchases:

• Wear the hoodie or tee on the way in so you can free up bag space for what you collect during the day.
• Bring a folded tote inside your main bag for unexpected hauls. The Hawkins Tote handles this well.
• Use the Double Zip Pouch for small valuables like your phone, wallet, and any pin trades you collect.
• Plan one major apparel purchase as your anchor item and let smaller pieces fill in around it.
