With the third and final season of Squid Game set to drop on Netflix this Friday, 27th June, fans are already preparing for what promises to be an explosive conclusion to Seong Gi-hun’s harrowing journey. The new season picks up immediately after that gut-wrenching betrayal, where the Front Man’s deception as Player 001 left viewers reeling.
Perfect Timing for New Merchandise
EXG Products have chosen their moment perfectly, launching a new range of Squid Game Holdems Mini Cable Guys that capture the series’ distinctive aesthetic. Having spent some time with the Circle Guard version on my desk, it’s clear these aren’t just cash-grab merchandise – they’re genuinely functional pieces that any fan would appreciate.
More Than Just a Phone Stand
The Circle Guard Holdems Mini Cable Guy manages to be both practical and pleasingly eerie. Standing in their signature pink jumpsuit with that unnerving geometric mask, it securely grips smartphones, mini tablets, and other devices whilst adding a touch of dystopian flair to your workspace. The compact design means it doesn’t dominate your desk, but it’s substantial enough to feel like a proper collectible rather than a flimsy accessory.
Quality That Surprises
What struck me most during testing was the build quality. The figure holds devices firmly without scratching them, and the paint job on the guard’s outfit is crisp and accurate to the show. It’s officially licensed merchandise that feels like it, rather than a rushed tie-in product.
Collection Potential
EXG Products have also released other characters in the range, including a Young-Hee version and a Square Guard variant, perfect for those looking to recreate their own miniature death game on their desk – minus the actual peril, of course.
Whether you’re counting down the hours until season 3 or simply need a conversation starter for your gaming setup, these Holdems Mini Cable Guys hit the sweet spot between functional accessory and fan collectible. They’re the sort of thing that makes rewatching those tense game sequences just a bit more immersive when your phone is literally in the grip of a pink guard.
Thanks to EXG Products for sending one over – it’s already earned a permanent spot next to my monitor, silently judging my Netflix choices.
