The Coop, formerly known as A Crowded Coop, was a production company based in the United States that focused on pop culture merchandise. In 2021, their company website went down, and is now only accessible through web archives. Due to this, as well as the silence on their social media outlets, it seems the company may have dissolved.
A variety of Destiny merchandise was produced by the company in their time with the license, popularly including their line of vinyl Ghost replicas, as well as their Microplush series. However, they also made numerous other items such as keychains, kitchenware, bags, and more.
In 2017, The Coop would collaborate with Bungie in producing the Frontier Bag, which served as the premier item included in Destiny 2's collector's edition release.[1]
Destiny Merchandise[]
Ghost Vinyl[]
The Coop's collection of vinyl Ghost replicas began in 2018 and ran for one year. Each of the replicas included in the line were inspired by Ghost Shells from Destiny and Destiny 2, and each were mounted to round display bases via clear acrylic stands. After the conclusion of this series, the format would be resurrected by Numskull beginning in 2022 with their own collection of vinyl Ghost replicas.
The main set of Ghost vinyl fall very closely in line with the scale of the Ghost replica as seen in the Destiny Ghost Edition, and they retailed for $14.99 USD.[2] A short-lived set of mini-scale Ghost vinyl were produced in 2019, which sold for $7.99 USD at retailers.

Mini Series
Microplush[]
The Microplush line consisted of Destiny inspired collectible plush figures that were small in scale and highly detailed. Only one series was ever made, and it included ten characters: Cayde-6, Lord Shaxx, Eris Morn, Xûr, Mara Sov, Atheon, Time's Conflux, Oryx, the Taken King, Omnigul, Will of Crota, Phogoth, the Untamed, and Skolas, Kell of Kells. The set released in 2017 using a blind box format packed in cases of twelves to be displayed on store shelves. Given there were only ten characters, two ended up being double-packed, those being the Atheon and Skolas plush—granting them a slightly higher pull chance when selecting a box at random.
While each plush varied in size, they generally orbited the 5" (12.7cm) range. They were sold for $7.99 USD each.
