Disney and Pixar's Coco has never had a Lorcana card until now. Hyperia City, Disney Lorcana's fourteenth main set, finally brings the film's cast into the game, led by Miguel Rivera, Hector Rivera, Dante, and Ernesto De La Cruz.
Ravensburger has been steadily leaning on its Pixar back catalog for recent sets, following Wilds Unknown's Toy Story and The Incredibles cards with an entire set built around a single Pixar film for the first time. That makes Coco's debut a bigger moment than a typical new-character reveal.
Several Coco cards have already been previewed directly through Ravensburger's own channels, giving a real look at how the film's story and music translate into card text. This guide walks through each confirmed character and what their card actually does.
Start with why this particular franchise landing in Lorcana is worth paying attention to at all.
Coco is one of Pixar's most music-driven films, built entirely around a family curse, a guitar, and a journey through the Land of the Dead. Translating that into a trading card game without the music is a real design challenge, which is part of why Ravensburger gave it a dedicated set instead of folding it into an existing release.
The set's own framing leans into music as a theme throughout, which lines up naturally with a cast built around mariachi players, a battle-of-the-bands subplot, and a legendary dead musician.
Miguel's first card, Miguel Rivera - Promising Musician, is numbered 10 out of 204 and carries Amber ink, putting him among the set's earlier common-tier reveals. His card art shows him still holding his great-great-grandfather's guitar, the same instrument that drives the film's entire plot.
A rarer Miguel Rivera - Street Musician card prints at the Enchanted tier, and a pull like that is worth moving straight into a EVORETRO One Touch Magnetic Card Holder instead of a standard sleeve.
Hector's card, Hector Rivera - Worldwide Sensation, lands at number 106 of 204 and brings the film's other lead musician into the game as his own standalone character rather than a side reference. His card plays as Miguel's natural companion piece, mirroring the duo's relationship across the film.
Pairing Hector with Miguel in the same set, rather than saving him for a later release, signals Ravensburger treated the two as a package deal from the start.
Dante - Enthusiastic Stray is numbered 43 of 204 and classified as a Storyborn Ally rather than an alebrije or spirit character. That distinction matters since Dante is Miguel's actual street dog companion in the film, not one of the glowing spirit-guide creatures.
Pepita, the winged alebrije jaguar who serves as Imelda's spirit guide, gets her own separate Enchanted card, Pepita - Imelda's Right Hand, with alternate art by Alice Pisoni.
Ernesto De La Cruz - Idol of Millions prints as a Storyborn Villain, fitting his role as the film's famous-but-treacherous antagonist. A second printing, Ernesto De La Cruz - Ruthless Musician, gives collectors an alternate take on the same character within the set.
Casting Ernesto as a Villain rather than a Hero or neutral character keeps the card faithful to his actual role in the film, which is a detail worth knowing before building around him.
An Action card called Though I Have To Say Goodbye takes its name directly from a line in Remember Me, the film's signature, Oscar-winning song. Naming a card after a lyric rather than a character is a detail worth tracking for anyone who follows how Lorcana turns film music into card effects.
It suggests Hyperia City may lean on Coco's musical numbers as recurring thematic touchstones beyond just the character cards themselves, a pattern worth watching as more of the set gets revealed.
Yes, Hyperia City is Coco's first dedicated Lorcana set.
Miguel Rivera, Hector Rivera, Dante, Ernesto De La Cruz, and Pepita.
Yes, his Idol of Millions printing is classified as a Storyborn Villain.
Storyborn Ally, not an alebrije spirit character.
With five named characters already confirmed and more of the checklist still to come, Coco is shaping up to be one of Hyperia City's deeper sub-themes rather than a one-card cameo. Sleeving each pull the moment it's opened, starting with a pack of EVORETRO Matte Card Sleeves, keeps a growing Coco binder section in shape from day one.
Anyone who pulls Miguel, Hector, or Ernesto's rarer printings should move straight to a rigid holder before the card goes anywhere near a bag or binder stack.
