It looks like Pyramid International has just unveiled their Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled merchandise lineup alongside their existing 2019 Crash Bandicoot merchandise, including a new Extra Life Crate Doormat. These all use the new standard and more creative fares of Crash Team Racing and N. Sane Trilogy renders and illustrations provided by Activision, which makes some of them special in their own regard compared to the standard affair of Crash Bandicoot merchandise featuring the standard assets of N. Sane Trilogy.
All these items listed above are coming soon, they are as follows:
- Frames and Posters: Crash Team Racing (N. Sanity Beach, Framed) – Crash Team Racing (Race, Framed) – Crash Team Racing (Race, Maxi)
- The N. Sanity Beach poster illustration has been seen before but its looking rather nice stylistically. The Race posters come in framed and maxi variations, and they’re the standard affair of reveal/placeholder cover art, the mug does feature a slightly different one, we’ll get onto that one in a bit.
- The maxi poster sizes at about 61 x 91.5cm, while the framed image is 30 x 40cm.
- Please note that the site has the framed posters mislabelled at the time of this writing.
- According to the listings, the release date is July 1, 2019.
- Cups and Mugs: Crash Team Racing (Eat The Road) – Crash Team Racing (No Cars/Crash, No Glory) – Crash Team Racing (Race, Different Crash Render)
- Personally speaking, the new edgier and more intense illustrations for CTR merchandise is probably quite a great thing to see Activision actively taking more care with, instead of just releasing merchandise with the less outstanding and general illustrations used in the games, Eat the Road and No Crash/Cars, No Glory ones are some of the best I’ve seen come out so far, keep it up!
- Also, an interesting thing to note about the art used in the Race mug is the completely different render used for Crash Bandicoot, it features a different pose and face from reveal/placeholder art that we’ve seen since the announcement. It does beg the question as to why it wasn’t used as I personally think it looks much better, will we be seeing this variation more often? Only time will tell.
- Just like the listings above, the release date is July 1, 2019.
- Miscellaneous: Crash Bandicoot (Extra Life Crate Doormat)
- The doormat might feature art that is nothing to write home about, but it quite neat that we get more variety as time goes in. Any fan who might want even more Crash Bandicoot merchandise in their room or place of living might want to hunt for this one.
- According to the listing, the release date is May 13, 2019.
