About the Boys TV Show
The Boys is a show developed by Eric Kripke exclusively for Amazon Prime. Adapted from the comics with the same name, Supernatural’s Kripke brought to life a world where humans and superheroes coexist.
It depicts the corruption that comes with the power of being amongst the strongest people in the world. It’s about a group of vigilantes that are trying to put an end to the superheroes behind Vought International, a pharmaceutical company that created superheroes drunk with power.
Aside from its unique humor, hard-to-swallow violence and abuse scenes, and actors that play their part like they were born for it, The Boys is a surprisingly relatable show despite its topic. As you work through the episodes, you will likely see similarities between the power-abusing superheroes and corrupt politicians worldwide.
Who Are the Main Characters in the Boys TV Series?
Unlike some of the other popular series we’re used to, The Boys has a lot of characters that are crucial to the plot. Take any of these out of the story, and it wouldn’t be the success it is today.

- Billy Butcher
- Mother’s Milk
- Frenchie
- Kimiko
The Seven
- Homelander
- Queen Maeve

Where to Buy the Boys Merch
If you’re ready to get your hands on some The Boys merch, here are some stores where you can start looking:
Amazon
Amazon is always my go-to spot for pretty much anything. While the selection is often run-of-the-mill, you can find some cool stuff.
Hot Topic
This is quickly becoming one of my fav spots to find cool and unique merch from all my beloved fandoms. You can get everything from apparel to mini backpacks and more.
Red Bubble
While I prefer Etsy, Red Bubble is a great place for nerdier things, such as The Boys merch.
Zaavi
I use Zaavi all the time for personalized and unique gifts. Highly recommend; they’re so easy to use.
You just can’t beat the source. An official store is always a great place to get merch.
EtsyÂ
My beloved Etsy! I’ve been a loyal shopper for years and have never been disappointed. What I love most is that there are sellers who will do crazy custom stuff so your item is one-of-a-kind.
The Best The Boys Merch
The list of awesome merch is divided up into key categories of apparel, Funkos, accessories, and more. So scroll down to find what you need! I chose everything based on price range, quality, and availability.
Best the Boys Apparel
When it comes to The Boys, you will find loads of clothing and accessories with the show’s logo. Since everything in this show is about superheroes, big corporations, branding, and image, plenty of other symbols and stuff are printed on these collectibles.
#01 The Boys Logo T-Shirt
Did you know that the font used for The Boys’ logo is called “Charlie don’t surf!”? I’m not sure how the name for this font came to be, but I know that The Boys’ font is straightforward to recognize.
- Price Range: $10 – $30
- Available Sizes: XS, SM, MD, LG, XL, XXL, XXXL
- Materials: cotton
If you want a branded T-shirt with no added embellishment and easy to match your outfit, I suggest this one. It’s plain red, has the show’s logo on the chest, and comes in seven different size options. It’s made with combed cotton, and I wish they had this in a woman’s size too.
Pros
- 7 size options.
- Made with comfortable cotton.
- Easy to clean.
Cons
- Shipping is not free.
#02 The Boys Vought International Logo T-Shirt
Are you ready to represent the company that’s secretly leading America? Vought International is arguably the root of all evil in this TV series. It’s their desire for profit that leads to creating superheroes who end up thinking the entire world is theirs to rule.
- Price Range: $10 – $30
- Available Sizes: SM, MD, LG, XL, XXL, XXXL
- Materials: cotton
Since Vought is all about branding, owning a Vought T-shirt makes a lot of sense. It sounds like something they would hand out in a goodie bag or in an attempt to camouflage a wrong. The shirt is really top-notch, though. It’s made with cotton, available in six size options, and has five neutral colors.
Pros
- Quality material.
- 6 size options
- 5 color options.
Cons
- Shipping is not free.
#03 Never Meet Your Heroes Pullover Hoodie
Did you know that “never meet your heroes” comes from Marcel Proust’s “In Search of Lost Time?” He was the first to claim that meeting your heroes can be disappointing. In The Boys, we first realize that when Starlight and The Deep first met.
- Price Range: $50 – $60
- Available Sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL
- Materials: cotton and polyester blend
She has been dying to be part of the team for so long because she wants to have the power to change things for the good. She comes forth and tells Deep she used to have a crush on him. At that point, he blackmails her for sexual favors, truly showing us that we should never meet our heroes.
This phrase is printed on a gorgeous 80 percent cotton and 20 percent polyester hoodie. With front pockets and a neck drawstring, this hoodie is as comfortable as it is good-looking.
Pros
- Comfortable materials.
- Large front pocket.
- Multiple color options.
Cons
- Some colors have more polyester fibers.
#04 The Boys Homelander Flag T-Shirt
Homelander is the true symbol of America. He is a patriot, a man of justice, wears the American flag as a cap, and is ready to fight for national and family values daily on the surface. Inside, he’s just a narcissist drunk with power. Everything Homelander does is because he wants people to like him and to feel like he is the most important person on the planet. Nothing comes out of the good of his heart.
- Price Range: $50 – $60
- Available Sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL
- Materials: cotton and polyester blend
Even so, Homelander is a pivotal character on the show, and while you may not love his intentions, you have to admit that Anthony Starr is a brilliant actor. This Homelander T-shirt is a magnificent piece of apparel made mostly of cotton and a little polyester. It comes in seven size options but only one color.
Pros
- Comfortable and soft cotton.
- 7 size options.
- Multiple shipping options are available.
Cons
- Only men’s sizes.
#05 The Boys Starlight Logo T-Shirt
It’s hard to believe, but there’s a supe that wants to help people and fight the good fight. Her name is Annie January, but America knows her as Starlight. As a victim of sexual and moral abuse, Starlight is surrounded by misogyny and sexism, as she is constantly being brought down by the other members of The Seven.
- Price Range: $10 – $30
- Available Sizes: XS, SM, MD, LG, XL, XXL, XXXL
- Materials: cotton
Admirably, Starlight never gives up, so this is one T-shirt you should wear with pride! It’s made entirely out of cotton, features Starlight’s logo printed on the chest, and is available in seven different size options.
Pros
- Quality printed logo.
- Soft cotton fabric.
- Easy to clean.
Cons
- Only men’s sizes are available.
#06 The Boys The Seven Logos Girls T-Shirt
To wrap everything up, I want to show you a T-shirt with all the supes’ logos. This cotton T-shirt features Queen Maeve, Homelander, Translucent, Black Noir, The Deep, A-Train, and Starlight’s logo on the front.
- Price Range: $10 – $30
- Available Sizes: SM, MD, LG, XL, XXL
- Materials: cotton
You only get one color option but five size options to choose from. It’s the perfect shirt for those who can’t take sides and don’t have a preference for any particular member of The Seven.
Pros
- Includes all supe logos.
- Made with quality cotton.
- Machine washable.
Cons
- Listed in junior sizes.
Best The Boys Funko Pops
Funko Pops are my fav way of collecting merch from my beloved fandoms. With plenty of collectibles, imagine how cool your bookcase will look when you have characters like A-Train or Butcher guarding your every move.
#01 Starlight in Bodysuit
Most of the show, the superheroes in The Seven wear special outfits. When she first joined The Seven, Starlight had a special suit that Vought International quickly trimmed to something more sexy and revealing. Starlight has always sought to be a role model to young girls, and as she deemed the suit too revealing, she quickly changed back.
- Price Range: $10 – $20
- Size: 2.5″L x 2.5″W x 3.75″H
- Rare: no
This is your chance to see Starlight in her rare bodysuit once more! This adorable Funko is a great collection starter as it doesn’t cost much. Made from vinyl, it’d make an excellent gift for someone passionate about the show and who finds Starlight to be a fantastic personality.
Pros
- Starlight dresses in a rare bodysuit.
- Quality product design.
- Rich in details.
Cons
- The box may be damaged during shipping.
#02 Black Noir
Out of all the antagonists on the show, Black Noir has probably the saddest story. Until season 3, Black Noir’s backstory remains a mystery to the viewers who haven’t watched the show. All we know is that he’s Vought’s and Homelander’s “pet,” doesn’t talk, and is a stealthy assassin.
- Price Range: $10 – $20
- Size: 2.5″L x 2.5″W x 3.75″H
- Rare: no
For those who grow fond of Black Noir (whether as an antagonist or a pivotal character on the show), this Funko is a must-have. It’s not a rare piece, but it is one of great value for those who love the character development in The Boys.
Pros
- On-point suit details.
- Great collection starter.
- 2021 Summer Convention Exclusive sticker on the box.
Cons
- Box may be damaged during shipping.
#03 Billy Butcher
Butcher is a character that you either love or hate. He wants to go good, but it’s always for selfish reasons and through immoral and highly questionable modus operandi. Almost everything Butcher does is driven by revenge for his abused and murdered wife. But even when he acts like a jerk, there’s something charismatic about Butcher that I can’t quite put my finger on.
- Price Range: $10 – $20
- Size: 3.5 L x 6.25 H x 4.5 W
- Rare: no
Equipped with a crowbar and that skeptical-but-bored look on his face, this Butcher Funko is a must-have for true show fans. I love how he’s wearing one of those floral/tropical shirts he loves so much. He always combines them with a full-black suit and boots, making his outfits iconic.
Pros
- On-point Butcher-style outfit.
- Rich in details.
- Taller than other The Boys Funkos.
Cons
- Box may be damaged during shipping.
#04 The Deep
All the show’s characters are controversial, but The Deep will give you literal headaches. Half of the time, he’s pretending to be nice to get what he wants, and the other half… he’s just plain stupid. What I love about The Deep is that you can never really tell what’s what. He always looks innocent and well-intended but does something incredibly wrong or dumb.
- Price Range: $60 – $70
- Size: 2.5″L x 2.5″W x 3.75″H
- Rare: no
This 2021 Spring Convention Exclusive is more expensive than the others, but it is not labeled as a rare piece. However, what The Boys Funko collection would be complete without The Fish Guy (as Starlight calls him)?
Pros
- 2021 Spring Convention Exclusive.
- Rich in details.
- Perfect outfit representation.
Cons
- Packaging may be damaged during shipping.
#06 A-Train
The A-Train is back, baby! One thing that stands out about A-Train and Homelander is that they both want to be in the spotlight at all costs. A-Train is one of the crucial characters in the show. If it wasn’t for him, Hughie wouldn’t have had a reason to want to join The Boys.
- Price Range: N/A
- Size: 2.5″L x 2.5″W x 3.75″H
- Rare: no
Wearing his iconic speed glasses and a protector case to keep your Funko safe and less covered in dust, this is one item that needs to find its way into your collection.
Pros
- Rich in detail.
- Protective case included.
- A-Train showcased while running.
Cons
- Box may still arrive damaged.
#07 Queen Maeve
Before Starlight appeared, Queen Maeve was the only female figure in The Seven. Officially, she was a role model for teenage girls across the US. In reality, she made some questionable choices herself. However, unlike the other members of The Seven, Queen Maeve is a good person in the wrong place.
- Price Range: $10 – $20
- Size: 2.5″L x 2.5″W x 3.75″H
- Rare: no
Most of her bad decisions are her being constrained by a sexist environment. If you want to own something that reminds you of Queen Maeve, this is the perfect Funko!
Pros
- Rich in detail.
- Designed with her iconic publicity pose.
- Headband included.
Cons
- Box may still arrive damaged.
Best The Boys Mugs
When you’re a TV show fan, buying mugs is the cheapest and easiest way to let everyone know how much you love it. Let’s focus on some of the best The Boys mugs money can buy.
#01 I Am the Homelander
Nobody likes Homelander in terms of personality. However, Anthony Starr is a brilliant actor, and the fact that everyone hates Homelander to the guts goes to show you just how good he is. As a narcissist of epic proportions, Homelander often believes he can do whatever the F he wants, which is how this mug idea came to life.
- Price Range: N/A
- Design Specifics: Homelander mug with text
- Capacity: 15 ounces
The cartoonish Homelander portrait shows that creepy grin we often see on his face. Looking like an absolute maniac, I feel this mug perfectly represents Homelander’s God complex and abuse of power. Boy, he is one awful dude!
Pros
- Dishwasher safe.
- Microwave safe.
- Great Homelander portrait.
Cons
- The message is NSFW (or children).
#02 Pyramid International MGB26357 The Boys
“Oi! Don’t be a c**t!”
When it comes to Butcher’s most famous phrases, this is the one that stands out. Butcher is one of my favorite characters on the show, and while he has questionable morals at times, he fights the good fight and won’t take any BS from anyone. If you’re a fan of Butcher yourself, this 11-ounce mug is perfect for you.
- Price Range: $20 – $30
- Design Specifics: Butcher mug with text
- Capacity: 11 ounces
If you have kids, watch out if you don’t want them to add the C word to their vocabulary soon. Other than that, the quality of the mug is spectacular, and I love the black-and-white theme.
Pros
- Quality print.
- On-point Butcher quote.
- Uses The Boys signature font.
Cons
- The message is NSFW (or children).
#03 The Boys Copper Vacuum Insulated Tumbler
If I haven’t made it clear up until now, this show is full of profanity. From the nudity and violence to the NSFW gestures and language, there’s nothing about The Boys you would want your toddler to see. This coffee tumbler is no exception. It brilliantly portrays The Boys giving us the finger; we wouldn’t want it any other way.
- Price Range: $30 – $40
- Design Specifics: drawings of The Boys
- Capacity: 22 ounces
The 22-ounce tumbler depicts Frenchie, Kimiko, Butcher, Hughie, and Mother’s Milk in a cartoon-style fashion. It comes with a transparent lid, contains no BPAs, and has a durable powder coating to protect the exterior. It’s made from stainless steel so it will keep your beverage hot or cold for longer.
Pros
- Gorgeous cartoon design.
- Highly insulating.
- Large 22-ounce capacity.
Cons
- Tall and more difficult to clean.
#04 VOUGHT International Mug
Despite what we believe in the first season, Vought International is an American pharmaceutical company that makes superheroes using a shady substance known as Compound V. Regardless of what you feel about Vought throughout the show, this company cares about nothing but image and profit.
- Price Range: $10 – $20
- Design Specifics: Vought International logo
- Capacity: 11 ounces.
Vought International is what made supes possible, and if you ever suffered as a consequence of their actions, you’d likely get $10,000 and a mug like this one right here. They might even throw in a branded T-shirt if they’re feeling generous.
Pros
- Accurate logo representation.
- Dishwasher safe.
- Microwave safe.
Cons
- Small capacity.
Best The Boys Accessories
The following sections are only for true fans of the show. While gathering Funkos and T-shirts might be common, not everyone has a themed throw pillow or coasters. Let me show you some other cool stuff you can get if you can’t get enough of vile superheroes and well-intended underdogs.
#01 The Boys Baby Supe Throw Pillow
If you’re a mega fan of The Boys, this is a design that needs no introduction. To people who haven’t seen the show, it’s a total mystery. This throw pillow depicts a drawing of Butcher holding a baby that shoots lasers out of its eyes. That’s a reference to the scene where The Boys discover that Vought has been giving newborns Compound V to turn them into superheroes from a young age.
- Price Range: $20 – $30
- Product Type: throw pillow
- Design: Butcher holding baby supe
Caught red-handed and trying to escape, Butcher uses one of the only weapons he has nearby to escape: a baby supe. This scene alone makes just about any The Boys merch worth it. As for the features: you get a polyester cover with or without an insert (your choice), a concealed zipper, and a double-printed design.
Pros
- Amazing cartoon-style print.
- Printed on both sides.
- Multiple size options.
Cons
- Insert not included (you have to manually select it).
#02 The Boys Team Sticker
In the season 2 poster of The Boys, the team offers a middle-finger salute! This group photo became quite iconic and is used as a print for various merchandise.
- Price Range: <$5
- Product Type: sticker
- Design: The Boys drawing
Here we have a water-resistant vinyl sticker inspired by that photo. You can use it to decorate anything from your tumbler to your laptop. You have multiple sizes and finish options.
Pros
- Water-resistant construction.
- Versatile use.
- Multiple sizes and finishes.
Cons
- The thick white border can be a nuisance.
#03 Billy Butcher – Diabolical Coasters
Almost every main character on the show has famous lines and saying, but Butcher is number one. With his English accent and sassy lines, one might pick up plenty of phrases if Butcher is their favorite character. “F*****g diabolical” is one of them.
- Price Range: $10 – $20
- Product Type: coasters
- Design: Butcher portrait
This brings me to the product at hand: a set of four diabolical coasters that bear the face of The Boys’ leader. These four coasters have a cork backing and a masonite face, measuring 4 x 4 inches each. I find it very fitting that you get to enjoy a cold glass of whisky and put down the glass on Butcher’s face.
Pros
- Resistant surface.
- Anti-slip back.
- Doesn’t scratch the table.
Cons
- Overpriced for a set of coasters.
#04 The Boys Poster
Nothing beats having a poster when showcasing your love for a movie or a TV show. Available in many different sizes, this is a The Boys poster that shows all the main characters I told you about in the first half of the article. It even includes the laser-eyed shooting baby and Black Noir holding a stuffed animal.
- Price Range: <$5
- Product Type: art poster
- Design: The Boys cast
You can also order the framed version of this poster. It comes rolled up in a custom-size cardboard tube for better protection. Unless something heavy falls on top during transportation, you should receive your poster intact.
Pros
- Multiple size options.
- Frame version included.
- High-quality print.
Cons
- It may be damaged during shipping.
#05 Compound V
Nothing happening in The Boys would be possible without the magic liquid known as Compound V. Developed by Vought International, Compound V is a serum given to babies so they can develop superpowers. It was also used on adults, but the rate of success was usually lower, with a high chance of killing whoever took it.
- Price Range: $20 – $30
- Product Type: costume prop
- Design: vial of Compound V
If you’re planning on going rogue next Halloween or you have a display case with all kinds of The Boys’ items, you need to get this handmade vial of Compound V. From what I can tell from the seller’s page, they can make all kinds of vials with substances and serums from other movies too (like Resident Evil).
Pros
- On-point design.
- Exact Compound V label replica.
- It contains preservatives to avoid bacteria growth.
Cons
- The vial is pretty fragile, handle with care.
#06 The Boys Keychain
Even something as simple as a branded keychain can be worn with pride when you love a TV show like The Boys. You can choose between various designs, including Homelander or A-Train’s logos.
- Price Range: <$10
- Product Type: keychain
- Design: logo
They’re made from zinc alloy, and they are available for a very small price. But, you’ll likely have to pay for shipping based on your location.
Pros
- Multiple design options.
- Neat packaging.
- Branded pendant available.
Cons
- Aliexpress orders usually take a long time.
#07 3D Pointed Lightning Bolt Earrings
After the not-so-tragic death of Translucent, Vought found a replacement in Stormfront. This hundred-year-old Nazi supe is another great example of how people aren’t supposed to have that much power. Stormfront might be charismatic and sarcastic, but like Homelander, she is the superhero you love to hate.
- Price Range: $100 – $150
- Product Type: earrings
- Design: lightning bolts
One of Stormfront’s iconic costume accessories is her lighting-shapes earrings. If you’re planning on showcasing a love from Stormfront (although I find it difficult to believe someone likes her character) or just want a pair of really cool silver/gold earrings, these should be perfect.
Pros
- Made with actual silver.
- 3D design.
- Catch light as you move.
Cons
- They require maintenance.
