Kiwoom Heroes announced on the 2nd that it will unveil special collaboration products in partnership with popular characters 'Maltie & Retriever'.
According to Kiwoom, this collaboration was planned with a differentiated concept that allows not only baseball fans but also pet owners to enjoy together. The lineup includes general collaboration uniforms, hats, and T-shirts, as well as pet-specific items such as pet uniforms, pet hats, and pet harnesses, totaling 32 diverse products. In the launch photoshoots, Kiwoom pitchers Bae Dong-hyun and Yoo To participated as models, showcasing a special chemistry.
A rich offline LINE event for fans has also been prepared. From the 3rd to the 5th, during the three-game home series against Doosan Bears at Gocheok Sky Dome, Kiwoom will operate a 'Kiwoom Heroes X Maltie & Retriever' pop-up store at an external venue outside Gocheok Dome. Fans who find it difficult to visit in person can also purchase products through the online HEROES shop.
Notably, on the 4th, a 'Maltie & Retriever Day' brand day will be held. Before the game, the ceremonial first pitch and first hit will be performed by the characters 'Maltie' and 'Retriever', respectively, as they step onto the mound at Gocheok Dome.
During the game on that day, fans will receive collaboration uniforms and hats as prizes through various inning events. Additionally, Kiwoom players themselves will wear the collaboration uniforms during the match. Furthermore, paper tickets issued on that day will feature collaboration illustration designs to enhance their collectible value.
Meanwhile, 'Maltie & Retriever', which has collaborated with Kiwoom this time, is a beloved IP (intellectual property) known for its contrasting charms: 'Maltie', a Maltese character who is sharp-tongued but affectionate, and 'Retriever', a gentle and kind friend. The characters have achieved massive hits on KakaoTalk emoticons and continue to maintain steady popularity both domestically and internationally.
