To celebrate the World Cup 2026, Google has quietly dropped a clever new limited-edition \u201cChrome Dino FC\u201d Android figurine on its merchandise store.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

[Update 06\/12<\/strong>]: Thankfully, the Google Merchandise Store in the United States now lists the Dino FC minifig if you want to pick up a piece of World Cup history in time for the USMNT\u2019s first game in the next few days.<\/p>\n

Priced at an even cheaper $25, you\u2019re getting one heck of a deal compared to those of us across the pond, too!<\/p>\n

Available now for \u00a330 plus shipping, the \u201cAndroid Figurine x Chrome Dino FC\u201d is the latest variation of the standard 3-inch vinyl \u201cThe Bot\u201d mascot that Google reinvigorated a couple of years ago. However, rather than arriving standalone, this special vinyl release drops as the flagship piece of a wider, football-themed capsule collection called \u201cChrome Dino FC.\u201d<\/p>\n

This entire tournament lineup leans heavily into a retro football club aesthetic \u2013 that\u2019s \u201csoccer\u201d for my American friends. Alongside the flagship Android figurine, Google\u2019s new capsule collection includes a classic-cut jersey for \u00a348, a matching fan scarf for \u00a336, and even a size 5 Chrome Dino FC football for \u00a327.<\/p>\n

As you probably guessed, Google\u2019s football club leans heavily into the Chrome Dino as both mascot and key component of the club crest.<\/p>\n

The Chrome Dino FC figure itself perfectly blends the iconic pixel-art style of the classic offline browser game with the spirit of the beautiful game. Dressed up like a true football club kit, it features a textured pixel aesthetic across the body, complete with a monochrome T-Rex badge integrated straight into the design. There\u2019s even a classic 32-patch football included. To round out the desk-toy tribute, this Android figurine keeps its classic posable arms, letting you pose \u201cThe…<\/p>\n
