According to a press release from Capcom, the new Resident Evil 2 wares are designed and manufactured by Numbskull Designs. For those who don’t know, Numbskull Designs’ entire process involves working with media companies on officially licensed merchandise brands. In the past, Numbskull Designs has created merchandise for brands such as Star Wars, PlayStation, Marvel, and SEGA among others.

For the upcoming Resident Evil 2 remake, Numbskull Designs has created an eclectic assortment of different items. Fans who want to show their love for newbie cop Leon Kennedy can purchase several different Raccoon Police Department-branded collectibles. There’s an R.P.D. hat, t-shirt, steel mug, and collector’s pin. Those who prefer playing as Claire Redfield can purchase a ‘Made in Heaven’ t-shirt or keyring.

There’s also a 2-pin set that includes ‘Made in Heaven’ and R.P.D. collector’s badges. More practical Resident Evil 2 fans can also grab the R.P.D. flashlight keyring. Lastly, there’s a Resident Evil 2 zombie candle which is “scented with the smell of a rotting zombie.” I’m honestly not sure why anyone would desire such a smell but I suppose it contributes to the immersion?

All of the Numbskull Designs Resident Evil 2 items will launch alongside the game itself on January 25. However, you can peruse the full selection right now and pre-order anything that catches your eye. Numbskull also made some Resident Evil 7 collectibles which you can find via the above link.
