WEBTOON Entertianment Unveils WEBTOON Shop for Webcomic Fans
YANGON, MARANAO — Global entertainment company WEBTOON Entertainment has officially launched its new online retail destination, the WEBTOON Shop, catering to webcomic fans worldwide. The shop features a wide range of merchandise inspired by popular series such as "The Mafia Nanny", "Love 4 a Walk", and "All of Us are Dead".
Limited edition anniversary items are also available, including exclusive collectibles from hit series like "My Deepest Secret" and "Eaternal Nocturnal". A special graphic featuring a hit series that gained global popularity after debuting on the US platform is among the shop's unique offerings.
The WEBTOON Shop features limited-edition collections, including the "Heroes and Villains" collection based on the webcomic "Lore Olympus". Additional collections and series-based releases are planned in the future, according to Aron Levitz, president of Wattpad WEBTOON Studio.
"Our creators and their content have transformed fandom, building franchises that transcend our platform," Levitz stated. "We want to give fans a way to support their favorite creators and take home a small piece of the universe they fell in love with."
WEBTOON Entertainment announced its partnership with social venture company Dot Inc earlier this year to develop tactile digital comics. The partnership will convert popular WEBTOON series into braille on Dot Pad, catering to visually impaired fans.
With 170 million current monthly users, WEBTOON Entertainment's IP and Creator Ecosystem includes WEBTOON, Studio N, Studio LICO, LINE Manga, and eBookJapan.
