Following Successful Third Season, New Collection Features Iconic Show Moments and Fan-Favorite Characters
Upper Deck and Sony Pictures Consumer Products today announced a new line of trading cards based on the hit series The Boys, which streams on Amazon Prime. In the wake of the show’s third season, fans can look forward to the release of new trading cards featuring the likes of Butcher, Homelander, Starlight and more, as well as upcoming trading card sets and tabletop games that capture favorite moments from the show. This includes the introduction of The Boys into Upper Deck’s popular Vs. System® 2PCG® card game. All-new trading cards and other products will follow the release of the Vs. System 2PCG: The Boys game early next year.
“We are excited to collaborate with Sony Pictures Consumer Products on The Boys, as we now have the opportunity to bring the incredibly engaging storylines off the screen and into the hands of the fans,” stated Jason Masherah, president of Upper Deck. “The Boys is a great addition to our portfolio and we’re thrilled to be a part of bringing fans of the show an all-new, incredible experience.”
Vs. System 2PCG: The Boys marks the latest addition to the card game’s growing list of franchises and characters, enabling fans of the game to add a new lineup to their decks.
