DUNE Chrome Trading Cards arriving next month

There are some new DUNE trading card set on the horizon. Topps’ latest is packing 90 cards in total and… actual SPICE?

My trading cards, my DUNE

Any chance that we’re able to write something about trading cards, we’ll take it. The art form has been diminishing for decades, but it’s still very much alive, and this latest upcoming launch is definitely proof of that. It’s based on one of the hottest film properties of the modern age too, with DUNE.

Director Denis Villenueve’s reboot of the legendary Frank Herbert novels has exploded at the box office. Two films are in the can as of this writing, with a third en route. So to see trading cards based on the existing movies, well it’s pretty darn cool.

Topps, Fanatics Collectibles, and Legendary Entertainment will be teaming to bring those to market next month. These will be a little special though, because while there will be some 90 cards focusing on characters and scenes (the latter from the first film only), there will be some incredible sounding special cards as well.

How special? Those randomly packed cards will bring fans actual autographs. Yep, included in the mix will be signatures from film stars “Rebecca Ferguson, Jason Momoa, Josh Brolin and more”. Can it get much cooler than that? Well, yes actually, because there are also the SPICE cards.

We have to admit that we’re not completely sure what the SPICE cards will be, but they sound pretty neat. To that end, Topps says that the rare cards will be “infused with actual spice used in the film”.

The Spice must flow… to retail

As you might imagine, some of the above might be more difficult to find than escaping a sand worm. Just as an example, the autographs will be packed at a rate of one per every three boxes of DUNE cards. As for the SPICE cards, the rarity isn’t even listed in the press release, and we couldn’t find it on the Topps’ site either. So we’re going to assume they’ve got to be ‘rare’ rare.

Nevertheless, the cards will be hitting retail next month, and will be offered in a few ways. At least, we’re going to guess they’re still hitting. After arriving at pre-order status yesterday (9/16/25), they sold out immediately via Topps’ shop. So we don’t have confirmation on retail availability one way or the other.

Assuming they will be though, fans can look for them to be out on October 10th. Scroll down to check out the full details.
