The first season of "Stranger Things" was released last July and quickly garnered a cult following. In December, Netflix teamed with retailers Hot Topic and BoxLunch for the first-ever line of licensed merchandise for the brand, which included apparel, novelty-inspired pins, patches, accessories and other collectibles.
