Some new plushies are set to roll out of the station on the Isle of Sodor.
Dan Dee International inked a multiyear licensing deal with Mattel for Thomas & Friends under which it will create a full range of everyday and seasonal plush for the U.S. and Canada.
“Thomas & Friends is beloved by so many parents and children. We are happy to be partnering with Mattel to bring these iconic characters to life in the toy and seasonal aisle,” says Menal McGrath, Senior Vice President of Licensing of Dan Dee International.
The first Dan Dee Thomas & Friends plush has already arrived at Barnes & Noble stores.
The company says that shipments are on the way to Walmart and will hit shelves in the toy and seasonal departments later this year.
