Monsters, Inc. Joins Lorcana: Sulley, Mike, and Boo Card Guide

Monstropolis has a new address: Disney Lorcana's Attack of the Vine set, which wide-released July 24, 2026. Sulley, Mike Wazowski, Boo, and Randall Boggs all make their first-ever appearance in the game together.

Unlike a single-character cameo, Monsters, Inc. gets a genuine roster here, spanning several printings per character rather than one token appearance. That gives collectors a real sub-theme to chase within an already large 207-card set.

Between the scare-floor cast and the dual-named team cards built around them, there's more to track than a quick glance at the checklist suggests.

Here's a rundown of what's confirmed about Monstropolis's arrival and how to think about collecting it.

Sulley Anchors the Scare Floor

Sulley appears across multiple prints, including Sulley, The New Boss, a Bodyguard character built around a Rehire ability that returns a card from the discard pile back to hand. It's a practical, table-tested design rather than a pure collector afterthought.

As one of the set's headline Monstropolis characters, Sulley's prints are a natural starting point for anyone building specifically around this crossover rather than the set as a whole.

Mike Wazowski's Two Faces

Mike Wazowski shows up in at least two distinct forms: Well-Rounded Entertainer, whose Make 'Em Laugh ability grants bonus lore, and Heroic Climber, a cheaper two-cost print that can't be placed in the inkwell.

Having both a support-oriented print and a leaner, cheaper option gives collectors a reason to chase more than one Mike Wazowski card rather than treating him as a single-print character.

Boo, Energetic Child

Boo arrives with Rush and a Kid-Tastrophe! ability that banishes an opposing character she challenges if that character's strength is low enough, a genuinely aggressive design for a three-cost card themed around a toddler.

She's also part of Sulley & Boo, Scare Buddies, a six-cost dual-named Team character with a Combo Shift ability that lets her play on top of an existing Sulley, Boo, or one of each already in play.

Randall Boggs Rounds Out the Cast

Randall Boggs appears in at least two prints, including Randall Boggs, Envious Coworker, a low-cost evasive character, and Randall Boggs, Scary Smart. A supporting item card, Scream Canister, fills out the Monstropolis theme beyond just characters.

Collectors building a complete Monsters, Inc. sub-collection should treat Scream Canister as a checklist item in its own right, not an afterthought next to the named characters, and a rigid EVORETRO Toploader is a simple way to keep a higher-cost print like his safe.

Celia Mae Adds a Support Layer

Celia Mae, Friendly Receptionist rounds out the cast with a Please Hold ability that lets a player ready a chosen character for a cost, giving the Monstropolis theme a genuine support piece alongside its more aggressive characters.

Between Celia Mae, the core trio, and Randall Boggs, the set treats Monsters, Inc. as a real ensemble rather than a licensed cameo built around one recognizable face.

Why This Debut Matters for Collectors

A franchise's first Lorcana appearance only happens once, and Attack of the Vine is where every Monstropolis print will live going forward. That permanence is part of why debut-set cards from a beloved franchise tend to hold collector attention well past a set's initial release window.

Crossover appeal also tends to bring in buyers who don't otherwise follow Lorcana, which is worth factoring into how quickly singles from this theme move on the secondary market.

How Monstropolis Compares to the Set's Other Debuts

Attack of the Vine brings in three franchises for the first time at once: Turning Red, Monsters, Inc., and Up. That's an unusually large number of debuts for a single set, and it means collector attention is genuinely split three ways rather than concentrated on one crossover.

Monsters, Inc. holds its own within that split thanks to a recognizable, ensemble cast rather than a single lead character, which gives it staying power alongside the Red Panda-themed Turning Red cards and Up's own new arrivals.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Assuming Mike Wazowski only has one print; there are at least two with different roles.
  • Skipping Scream Canister while chasing character cards only.
  • Storing Sulley & Boo loosely since dual-named Team cards get more table handling in play.
  • Overlooking Celia Mae as a support piece rather than a core Monstropolis collectible.

Setting Up Your Monstropolis Collection

A full character roster like this one deserves organized storage from the start rather than a loose pile that gets sorted later. EVORETRO's 9-Pocket Binder Pages make it easy to keep the whole Monsters, Inc. lineup together and easy to flip through.

For the higher-cost prints you're most likely to display or trade, EVORETRO's Toploaders add individual protection on top of a binder setup.
