Mattel and WWE are continuing their long-running partnership.
The companies inked a multi-year extension of their global licensing agreement that sees Mattel retain exclusive, master toy rights for WWE action figures, accessories, and kid-sized WWE Title Belts.
“We are very pleased that WWE has once again chosen Mattel to help bring its storied history and characters to children and fans around the world,” says Nick Karamanos, senior vice president of entertainment partnerships, Mattel. “WWE is an important partner, and we look forward to continuing our relationship for years to come.”
