New Merchandise: Akiti Leaps Off the Page

From Marvel to Disney, merchandising drives how kids interact with stories. Parents know that when a child can hug their favorite hero in plushie form or carry them on a backpack, the story becomes part of everyday life. Now, Akiti is joining those ranks with a fresh line of merchandise.

The launch couldn’t come at a more relevant moment. The global toy industry is buzzing with a demand for representation, as highlighted by Mattel’s diverse Barbie collections and Hasbro’s push for multicultural heroes. Akiti’s merchandise answers that call, giving children access to Africa’s first action-hero beyond the page.

Pillows, backpacks, and even pickleball paddles aren’t just cute add-ons. They’re extensions of a story that centers on courage and heritage. For parents, this is a way to invest in toys that tell better stories—ones that reflect their children’s identities.

Just as Black Panther merchandise became a cultural touchstone, Akiti’s shop is carving out its own legacy. It’s more than a store—it’s a movement.
