YouTooz Opens August 14 Pre-Orders for Black Myth: Zhong Kui Slime Rancher

YouTooz will open pre-orders for Black Myth: Zhong Kui and Slime Rancher-themed collectibles on August 14, 2026, giving buyers a fixed window before shipping is expected to begin in January 2027. The lineup centers on a slime-shaped night light, blind-box plush slimes, and keychains.

Slime Rancher on August 14

The night light is priced at $34.99, stands 14 cm tall, and uses two AAA batteries. That makes it the most straightforward item in the drop: a single product with a known price, size, and power source, unlike the plush line that leans on randomized packaging.

Eight unique plush slimes are part of the collection. Each one is 12.7 cm tall, stuffed with ultra-soft 100% polypropylene cotton, and made from minky material. The keychains follow the same 12.7 cm size, cotton fill, and minky build, and each costs $22.99.

Blind boxes and the $159.99 set

The plush toys are sold in blind boxes, so buyers do not pick a specific design at checkout. Each blind box costs $22.99. For a buyer trying to maximize the odds of variety, the math is simple: seven blind boxes would match the number guaranteed in the special set, but the outcome would still be random, and it would still not secure the rare figure.

The special set costs $159.99 and guarantees seven different plush toys. It also gives only a 1 in 78 chance at a particularly rare toy, which turns the set into a value play for collectors who want breadth first and a lottery ticket second. At that price point, the set is about 7 times the cost of a single blind box, before any premium is assigned to the assortment guarantee.

January 2027 shipping

January 2027 is the next practical marker for buyers, because that is when shipping of the goods is expected to begin. Anyone planning to preorder will need to decide within the August 14, 2026 window whether the appeal is the night light, the lower-cost blind boxes, or the higher-priced set that trades certainty on quantity for uncertainty on the rare toy.

For collectors, the clearest question now is which specific eight plush slime designs are included in the collection. Until that list is in hand, the decision is less about picking a favorite and more about choosing how much randomness you want to pay for.
