Detroit: Become Human Lanyard: Common Questions Answered

Quick answer

The Detroit: Become Human lanyard is a convention-friendly accessory that comes inside the DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN STARTER COLLECTION, a USD 5.00 bundle that also includes a pins set and a stickers pack. If you only want the lanyard, the bundle is the only supplied way to get it. For a complete answer on material, durability, size, and use, read the questions below.

The Detroit: Become Human lanyard draws a steady stream of practical questions: what it is made of, whether it survives a full convention weekend, how long it hangs, and what else you get when you order it. This FAQ answers those directly, using only the product details Quantic Dream supplies.

One thing to know up front: the lanyard is not sold as a standalone item in the supplied catalog. It is part of the DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN STARTER COLLECTION, a bundled set that also includes a pins set and a stickers pack. That single fact shapes almost every other answer below.

What exactly is the Detroit: Become Human lanyard?

It is a Quantic Dream fan accessory included in the DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN STARTER COLLECTION. The bundle brings together one Detroit Become Human lanyard, one Detroit Become Human pins set, and one stickers pack, offered as a single Standard option bundle.

Because it is bundled rather than sold alone, you cannot buy just the lanyard from the supplied catalog. If you want it, the Starter Collection is the path. At USD 5.00 against a USD 9.99 comparison price, the bundle is also the lowest-cost way into Detroit: Become Human merchandise in the supplied records.

• Check the bundle contents before ordering so you know you are also receiving a pins set and a stickers pack.
• If you already own pins or stickers, the lanyard is still the headline item in this bundle for most buyers.

What is the lanyard made of?

The supplied catalog does not list a material, fabric weight, or hardware finish for the lanyard. That is a real limitation, not an oversight in this answer: Quantic Dream has not published those specifications for this item.

What the catalog does confirm is that the lanyard is a fabric-style convention accessory rather than a metal or leather piece. If material composition is a dealbreaker for you, treat the absence of a spec as a reason to inspect the item on arrival and decide from there.

• Do not assume a specific fabric, width, or clasp type; none of those are supplied.
• If you need a documented material spec, the lanyard is not the right purchase for you.

How durable is the lanyard?

No durability rating, load capacity, or break-test result is supplied, so any claim about how long it lasts would be invented. What can be said honestly is that a lanyard used for a badge, a few pins, or a convention pass sees far less stress than one used to carry keys or a heavy tool.

For typical fan use, the practical risks are the same as any fabric lanyard: the print fading with heavy washing, the clip or attachment loosening over time, and the strap fraying where it rubs against a bag strap. None of those are confirmed failure modes for this product; they are the normal wear points to watch.

• Keep the load light: a badge, a pass, or a couple of pins.
• Spot clean rather than machine wash to protect any printed design.
• Retire it if the attachment point starts to loosen rather than waiting for it to fail.

How long is the lanyard, and will it fit me?

The catalog does not publish a strap length or drop measurement. That means there is no honest way to tell you whether it hangs at chest height, waist height, or somewhere in between on your frame.

What you can control is how you wear it. A lanyard worn around the neck sits differently than one clipped to a belt loop or bag strap, and the second option removes the fit question entirely. If length matters to you, plan to wear it clipped rather than around the neck.

• Clip it to a belt loop or bag strap if you are unsure about the neck drop.
• Do not order expecting a specific measurement; none is supplied.

What can I actually use it for?

The obvious use is a convention or event badge holder, which is what most fabric lanyards are built for. It also works as a key or small-pin carrier, or as a display piece on a bag or lanyard hook at home.

If you want the Detroit: Become Human look to carry across more of your outfit, the lanyard pairs naturally with other Quantic Dream wearables. The Detroit: Become Human - Android Rebellion Baseball Cap and the Detroit: Become Human - Android LED Red Ring T-shirt both use the same game branding, so the three read as one set rather than three unrelated purchases.

• Convention badge, key carry, or bag accessory are the three realistic uses.
• Match it with the Android Rebellion Baseball Cap or the Android LED Red Ring T-shirt for a coordinated look.

Is the Starter Collection worth it if I only want the lanyard?

At USD 5.00 for a lanyard, a pins set, and a stickers pack, the bundle is priced below what a single licensed accessory usually costs. If you want the lanyard at all, the bundle is the only supplied way to get it, and the extra items do not raise the price.

The honest tradeoff is that you may not want pins or stickers. If you do not, the bundle is still the cheapest route to the lanyard, but you are paying for items you will not use. For a bigger single-item purchase, the Detroit: Become Human Original Soundtrack Volume 3 sits at USD 22.50 and serves a completely different purpose.

• Buy the bundle if you want the lanyard; there is no standalone option in the supplied catalog.
• Skip it if unused pins and stickers would bother you more than the low price helps.

How should I care for the lanyard?

No care instructions are supplied for the lanyard specifically. The safe approach for any printed fabric accessory is to spot clean with a damp cloth, avoid soaking it, and let it air dry away from direct heat.

If the lanyard picks up convention grime, clean it before storing rather than after. Storing it flat or hanging rather than crushed in a bag also protects the print and the attachment point between events.

• Spot clean, air dry, and skip the washing machine.
• Store flat or hanging to protect the print and hardware.

Lanyard quick-reference FAQ

Where can I buy the lanyard by itself?

You cannot. The supplied catalog only offers it inside the DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN STARTER COLLECTION. Order the bundle if the lanyard is what you want.

What material is it?

No material, weight, or hardware spec is supplied for the lanyard. Do not buy it expecting a documented fabric or clasp type.

How long is the strap?

No length or drop measurement is published. Clip it to a belt loop or bag if neck length is a concern.

Is it durable enough for a convention weekend?

No durability rating is supplied. Keep the load light and watch the attachment point. Fine for a badge or pass; not intended for heavy keys.

How do I clean it?

No care instructions are supplied. Spot clean with a damp cloth and air dry. Avoid machine washing to protect the print.
