I’m interested on others’ thoughts on this. I got into Moomin after Finnish family started gifting me mugs, and I now have a sizable collection. To me as a foreigner, the mugs were my gateway to the actual books. Is your experience that the children around you are getting burnt out on Moomin before they’re old enough for the books?
Huh, that must be a Finnish thing. In North America, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Moomin-branded product in the wild.
Moomin mugs is a wildly collectable item in whole of North Europe lol. It’s kinda crazy how popular they are. People sell old limited edition mugs for top dollar on the marketplace
Yeah, we have Moomin mugs, Moomin towels, Moomin bags, basically Moomins on everything you can put a Moomin on. I think that most households have at least one Moomin item. Sometimes mozzarella is called Moomin meat.

This is unsettling.
To unsettle you a bit further, cottage cheese is called Moomin mince.

I didn’t even know there were mugs (until 3 or so years ago, when my mum got me one) or the books (until about a year ago, when I found this community).
