A new collection of merchandise has just hit the shelves of Universal Studios Hollywood, bringing with it a nostalgic throwback to the classic attractions of the park, and a retro logo. We have already seen matching merchandise offerings on sale over at Universal Orlando Resort this year, but it is good to see some Hollywood representation over here on the West Coast. Let’s see what’s on offer…
Vintage Attraction Drinking Glasses – $10 each

The first thing we spotted was the collection of drinking glasses, each themed to classic Universal attractions, with vintage artwork covering each vessel. We spotted these glasses (albeit with a different logo) over in Universal Studios Florida last month, where they were so popular they sold out and had to be re-stocked very quickly.
Each glass features a retro Universal Studios Hollywood logo and a short paragraph about each attraction represented.
