Cookie Run: Kingdom continues to captivate fans with the extension of preorders for its highly acclaimed Shadow Milk plushie. Since its debut, this plush toy has experienced incredible demand, often selling out within moments. Now, enthusiastic fans who missed previous opportunities have a fleeting chance to secure one—though they must act quickly.
Since its release, Cookie Run: Kingdom has earned accolades as one of the premier role-playing gacha mobile games, engaging millions of players across the globe. Its developer, Devsisters, has effectively leveraged this success with numerous branded merchandise launches, including the popular Shadow Milk plushie. After selling out on two occasions already, a third preorder is on the horizon. Still, potential buyers should be aware of some disappointing revelations related to this latest release.
On February 5, an announcement by Cookie Run: Kingdom’s official Twitter handle confirmed the upcoming preorder for the Shadow Milk plushie, intricately tied to the game’s 4th anniversary celebrations. Priced at $27.97 (excluding taxes and shipping), the preorder bundle not only features the plushie but also includes enticing bonuses such as paper doll cards and a digital concert ticket to enjoy a special OST album from the game. The preorder window is limited to just six days, from February 10 to February 16.

The latest announcement from Devsisters reveals that this third round of preorders will mark the last opportunity for fans to purchase the Shadow Milk plushie. Many players from the Cookie Run: Kingdom community expressed their frustration over prior preorder issues, criticizing the company for inadequate protections against bots and resellers. The decision to cap sales after this round has stirred further discontent, especially since shipping is restricted to just the U. S.and Canada, leaving international fans in the dark.
As it stands, discussions surrounding Devsisters’ plans for global sales of the special anniversary Shadow Milk plushie remain uncertain. Meanwhile, the emergence of scalpers and resellers on platforms like eBay, offering the toy at significantly higher prices, has raised alarm over the possible influx of counterfeit items. This echoes previous incidents where fake Pokémon merchandise was uncovered in South Korea, where the Shadow Milk plushies are manufactured. The wait continues for Cookie Run: Kingdom fans, as the preorder launches on February 10, and even successful purchasers will have to wait until May 2025 for shipment.
