Beginning Spring 2020, Spin Master will be a new toy licensee for DC in the boy’s action category, remote control and robotic vehicles, water toys and games and puzzles.
“Partnering with an iconic brand like DC is a major milestone for Spin Master and is part of our strategy to invest in successful licenses to further grow and diversify our business,” said Ben Gadbois, Spin Master’s global president and COO.
“Children everywhere have been entertained and inspired by DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains for more than 80 years and we’re honoured to be a part of that storytelling and imagined play.
