This merchandise takes the form of things like apparel, keychains, plushies, figures, branded toys such as Funko Pop and much more. As such, any fan of Kingdom Hearts should be able to find something that fits both their personal tastes and budget. Some of the best-selling examples of Kingdom Hearts merchandise include items like the “Kingdom Hearts Keyblade Keychain Collection”, the “Kingdom Hearts Heartless T-Shirt”, and the “Kingdom Hearts Shadow Plush”.
Kingdom Hearts Keyblade Keychain Collection
The Kingdom Hearts Keyblade Keychain Collection is a set of keychains based on the magical Keyblade weapons found in the Kingdom Hearts video game series. These keychains feature four of the most iconic recurring Keyblades. Each keychain perfectly recreates the unique design of each Keyblade and is sculpted from genuine metal, giving them a satisfying weight and appealing shine to them. This collection includes the following Keyblades: the Kingdom Key, the Kingdom Key Dark Side (Keyblade of the Realm of Darkness), the Oblivion, and the Oath Keeper. These keychains are also colored like their original counterparts. For example, the Kingdom Key Dark Side keychain has a beautiful golden color to it, while the Oblivion keychain is black. A small metal chain and a lobster clasp are also attached to each keychain, making it easy to clip onto a set of keys, one’s bag, or backpack.

Kingdom Hearts Heartless T-Shirt
This stylish t-shirt features a dark design that focuses on one of the main antagonistic forces of the Kingdom Hearts series, the Heartless. The shirt itself is mainly black in color, but contains the symbol associated with the Heartless, as well as a few Heartless themselves. In the foreground, two Shadows appear on the left and right sides of the design. Between the Shadows is the protagonist Sora in his “Anti-Form”, which turns him a dark, shadowy appearance with bright, glowing eyes. Behind these characters (and below Anti-Form Sora) is the iconic Heartless symbol, which appears as a black heart that is outlined in red. The center of the heart has an “X” made of what looks like lines with thorns on them, while the end of the heart ends in a fleur de lis shape. On the right of the symbol, the word “Heartless” is written in Japanese katakana.

Kingdom Hearts Shadow Plush
The Kingdom Hearts Shadow Plush is a plushie based on the popular Kingdom Hearts Shadow enemy. The plush figure is black in color, but has yellow eyes that poke out from its head. The plushies can hold many different positions, such as standing upright or being in a seated position. The black plushie has large feet, hands, and long, curly antennas that sprout out of its forehead. The fine details and craftsmanship of the plush doll result in an appearance that resembles the recurring Shadow enemies found in the Kingdom Hearts games perfectly. This plushie would make a perfect room or desk decoration. It can also be added to a collection of other Kingdom Hearts merchandise. In Kingdom Hearts, Shadows are the most commonly found Heartless and appear as small imp-like creatures that have twisted antennas and crooked limbs. Despite Shadows often being depicted as mindless, their cute appearance has made them quite popular.
