Some of YouTube’s most popular Minecraft gamers are coming to a toy store shelf near you. Tube Heroes, a new line of Minecraft-style action figures and plushies based on YouTube stars, will launch on May 22, 2015.
Created by toy manufacturer Jazwares, Tube Heroes will have their official launch this coming Friday. However, the new Minecraft-YouTuber mashup products have already arrived in select stores. Some popular toy reviewers on YouTube, like RadioJH Audrey (who boasts over 340,000 subscribers), have gotten their hands on Tube Heroes products and created video reviews.
CoinOpTV provides a particularly thorough overview of the new Jazwares toys for viewers. The channel’s owner, Robert Welkner, heads to Toys R Us and shows off several different Minecraft YouTuber plushies and action figures, including pieces based on CaptainSparklez, ExplodingTNT, and SkyDoesMinecraft. And according to Welkner’s video, even more products will join the collection to represent other YouTube stars.
