Kess and Toei Animation are joining forces to celebrate the 25th anniversaries of One Piece and Digimon.
Initial plans for the collaboration include two tabletop games along with outdoor toys. Kess currently offers products that feature other anime brands including Jujutsu Kaisen, Haikyu!!, and Spy x Family.
“Having the opportunity to create play experiences for One Piece and Digimon is a dream come true,” says Alex Kessler, CEO of Kess. “We are dedicated to finding the joys in life through play, whether it be outdoors, at the beach, or in our living rooms. Coming together to just play is the ultimate goal, and bringing our favorite anime licenses into these experiences is a natural blending of two worlds that are incredibly meaningful to us.”
“Toys and games are a top licensing category for both our One Piece and Digimon franchises,” said Masayuki Endo, President and CEO of Toei Animation. “We’re excited to partner with Kess to provide new opportunities for fans to interact and engage with our franchises and each other.”
The new products are expected to be released throughout this year and next year.
