  "account": "At the recent New York Comic Con (NYCC), fans of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series were treated to a variety of new action figures and toys. Among the highlights were three Princess Donut plushies from the upcoming Princess Posse Plush Blind Boxes. These blind boxes, first announced in August, offer six different varieties of the popular plush toy, with each box priced at $19.99 and set to release on October 30. Currently, these blind boxes can only be preordered through EBGames Canada. Despite the surge in popularity, the merch side of the franchise is still catching up, with new action figures announced in February and tabletop games still set to release in December. The success of the Dungeon Crawler Carl crowdfunding campaign, which raised over $13 million, may have contributed to the faster production of merch. Additionally, a TV series adaptation of the franchise is in the works for Peacock, along with two more books set to be published.",
  "summary": "The Dungeon Crawler Carl series has absolutely blown up this year. Matt Dinniman's LitRPG story has created some truly dedicated fans who are showing up in droves to support DCC as it transitions to a major franchise.",
