Dark Horse Comics’ solicitations have revealed their assortment of official Dune movie related merchandise, featuring a couple of new visuals. The below first wave of products, including magnetic bookmarks and sculpted pins, are all listed as being available in shops starting from August 25, 2021. Further items will be announced at a later date.
Dune Movie Magnetic Bookmarks
The bookmarks are fold-able and stay in place on the page. These will be released in two sets, each containing four bookmarks with different illustrations. The suggested retail price is listed as $8.99 per set.
Dune magnetic bookmark set #1
The first set features illustrations of four main characters from Dune (2021), as portrayed in the upcoming movie. From left to right: Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård), and Duncan Idaho (Jason Momoa).
Dune magnetic bookmark set #2
The second set includes symbols of the two rivaling houses (House Atreides and House Harkonnen) and illustrations based on photos of the movie’s stars; Paul Atreides by himself, from the first cover of Empire’s Dune-themed issue, and together with Chani (played by Zendaya). Within the latter illustration there’s also a glimpse of them traversing the sands together, rapidly walking without rhythm so as not to attract the sandworms.
Symbols of the Houses Major
These sculpted pins replicate the official symbols of the two key noble Houses, whose longstanding feud is intrinsic to the story of Dune. These are listed with an SRP of $14.99 each.

The Hawk, symbol of House Atreides, measuring 2″ tall.
Dune Harkonnen pin
In the books, the symbol of House Harkonnen is described as a Griffin. For the movie they’ve gone with a more stylized representation, possibly reflecting the mythical beast’s ram-like horns. This pin is 2.25″ tall.
