Their comics are sold in newspaper stand or bookshop. Some comics got a copy at the public library and so, they are able to reach more readers at all ages. Some comics are translated into other languages and reach readers beyond Hong Kong. Other comics become more popular due to the movie adaptation.

Some comic characters are so well-received that they play a role in the government promotional videos to convey important messages, for example, the proper way to use the lift and wash your hands.

When you visit Hong Kong, come to see the big figure dolls and take photos with them. They are displaying in the Kowloon Park, Tsim Sha Tsui. The exhibition is not permanent as it lasts for three years only.

For those who want souvenirs that are highly representing Hong Kong, they could buy merchandise carrying the image of the Hong Kong comic characters. Merchandise of number 18 and number 24 are the most popular ones, covering many aspects of living. Their merchandise could be easily found in the department stores, or even in convenient stores like 7-11.
