TL;DR
- Google launched World Cup-themed merch, including Chrome Dino FC collectibles and a Google Stadium Soccer Ball.
- The Chrome Dino FC Android figure costs £30 and gives the iconic offline T-Rex a retro football makeover.
- Meanwhile, US buyers only get the $45 Google Stadium Soccer Ball for now.
Google is going all-in on the hype for the 2026 World Cup, but snagging its new official merchandise could require some serious logistical gymnastics depending on where you live. The company quietly dropped a Chrome Dino FC capsule collection alongside a branded Google Stadium Soccer Ball, but geo-restrictions and shipping delays are already throwing a wrench in the festivities.
If you’ve ever lost your internet connection, you know the Chrome Dino. The official mascot of Google’s fictional football club is that pixelated T-Rex from the offline browser game. The star of this new collection is the £30 Chrome Dino FC Android figure (via 9to5Google). It uses the standard 3-inch posable “Bot” vinyl mascot with a heavy retro football aesthetic.
