Solo Leveling and ORV’s System Sync NYC Pop-Up: Merch and Event Recap

Ize Press brought Solo Leveling and Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint to Manhattan with System Sync, a pop-up at 238 E 6th Street. The August 14–30 event paired books and exclusive merchandise with artwork displays and character photo spots.

The shop also marked the debut of Ize Press’s original merchandise line.

Inside System Sync: artwork and character photo spots

WRSU’s on-site coverage describes comic panels across the central wall and ORV artwork by both manhwa artist Sleepy-C and novel illustrator BLACKBOX. Familiar scenes included Kim Dokja reading on the subway and his first encounter with Yu Junghyeok.

Visitors could pose beside cutouts of Dokja and Junghyeok in their 2026 New Year outfits. Print editions of the comics and novels sat alongside the collectibles.

The Solo Leveling and ORV merchandise lineup

Solo Leveling’s glow-in-the-dark apparel and ORV shirts made exclusively for System Sync led the original clothing range. Imported ORV merchandise from Korea broadened the selection with figures, hanging scrolls and plush keychains, while Solo Leveling bookends and desk mats catered to fans building a shelf or desk display.

Admission was free, and books were discounted by 25% from their suggested retail prices. Collectible prices in the event catalog included:

• Solo Leveling glow-in-the-dark T-shirt: $40.
• Solo Leveling Hunter Emblem enamel pin: $15.
• ORV random photocard pack: $10 for four cards.
• ORV figure: $45.

K-Comics Beat reporter Justin Guerrero found several ORV products sold out during his pre-convention stop, including figures, acrylic stands and photocard packs. Restock announcements appeared on social media.

Cosplay, purchase gifts and the Anime NYC connection

The stamp rally connected Ize Press’s Anime NYC booth, #1701, with System Sync. Visitors collected a stamp at each location to receive stickers.

The schedule included a Solo Leveling gathering on August 19, inviting character cosplay or all-black outfits, and an ORV meetup on August 23 that started at Hudson Yards before heading to the store.

Free bookmarks were available without a purchase. Purchase gifts included a random character card, while customers spending $100 or more received a double-sided tote bag featuring both series.

When did the System Sync NYC pop-up end?

The New York pop-up ended on August 30, 2026. The merchandise prices above were offered during that run.
