We are the HOP Universe
a tiny studio with a huge heart

HOP Universe began as a story a son told his dad: a grumpy space cat (UFOcat) and a hyperactive stuffed animal that can't stop jumping (Hop). Today, that story has evolved into a complete universe: characters, comics, animation, toys, apparel, and adventures made for kids, families, and fans of the absurd.
We create things that kids love and that adults enjoy too.

JUAN NICO

Intergalactic dreamer and original chaos architect. He’s the one who imagined Hop and UFOcat on an ordinary afternoon—unaware he was about to build an entire universe. Today, he remains our creative director and official plushie tester.

HOP
 

HOP

A bouncy little plush with unlimited energy. Cuteness level: banned in 12 galaxies.

UfoCat
 

UFOCat

A space cat who crash-landed on Earth. Loves naps, popcorn, and Doritos—hates emergency landings.

Popcorn
 

POP CORN

Naturally explosive and a beloved companion in every HOP Universe. Each kernel bursts with cosmic energy—and just the right touch of drama. Legend has it, one of them is still orbiting Earth.

552_1
 

AHRP552 MATERIAL

An alien substance accidentally discovered after a leak aboard UFOgato’s ship. It’s alive, shape-shifting, and emotionally reactive. It may be the key to returning home… or to destroying it.

Pizza
 

PIZZA

It was once delicious. Then it came into contact with alien Matter and transformed into a mutant space pizza. It glows in the dark… and still smells like intergalactic cheese.

Doritos_Galaxy
 

DORITOS

UFOgato’s favorite snack—and the cause of the original catastrophe. One piece landed on the wrong button… and boom! An interdimensional portal opened. Since then, no snack pack can be fully trusted.

The Ship
 

THE SHIP

The ship that crashed. It’s “just a little broken.”.
