Fans of Lawak Kampus got an unexpected treat this year with a surprise collaboration between Monsta and Kadokawa Gempak Starz in the form of the exciting, ‘BoBoiBoy Galaxy X Lawak Kampus: SUPERIOR‘ crossover comic book.

With the release of its own line of trading cards: BoBoiBoy Galaxy Card, Monsta has been positioning itself as a lifestyle brand this year!

Monsta has also hosted several Galaxy Card Tournaments at selected venues in Malaysia throughout the year, letting players battle it out while meeting new, like-minded friends! Get your hands on BoBoiBoy Galaxy Card at 7-Eleven outlets, Petronas Mesra, Shell Select, myNews.com, POPULAR Bookstores, and on our online platforms: Lazada, Shopee, 11Street and Monsta Store!

Not to limit ourselves within the country, BoBoiBoy Galaxy ventured out of Malaysia too!
Our fans from Indonesia were very lucky indeed. They got to enjoy KFC’s Chaki Kids Meal campaign featuring the beloved characters from BoBoiBoy Galaxy. Customers were able to receive one BoBoiBoy Galaxy toy for FREE with each purchase of the meal. There were 5 toys to collect! So awesome!
On top of that, in collaboration with MAPS (Movie Animation Park Studios), Monsta has recently launched a brand new ride at the Perak-based theme park: the Cattus Coaster, where you can help Cattus find a new home while escaping dangerous monsters! Or, you can hop onto our well-loved BoBoiBoy 4D Ride and team-up with BoBoiBoy to fight evil aliens. You can also train to become superheroes and protectors of the galaxy by joining the Hero Academy.
