Disguise, BBC Expand ‘Bluey’ Costume Line with Fresh Styles for Fall

JAKKS Pacific’s costume division, Disguise, and BBC will continue their licensing partnership for North America’s popular Bluey costume line. 

With this licensing extension, Disguise is preparing for the upcoming fall season with fresh styles and expanded distribution for high-quality Bluey costumes and accessories. 

Bluey consistently ranks among our most in-demand costume lines,” says Tara Cortner, President and General Manager of Disguise. “We’ve witnessed incredible enthusiasm from both kids and parents and with the addition of adult costume offerings, Bluey has evolved into an exciting family-wide dress-up experience. We are thrilled to extend our collaboration with BBC Studios and continue growing this beloved line.”

This development is not surprising, as Bluey was the most-watched show on a streaming service last year.

“Disguise has been a great partner and instrumental in bringing our beloved Bluey characters to life through costumes and accessories,” says Suzy Raia, SVP Global Consumer Products, BBC Studios. “The new offerings capture the personalities of the characters and enable fans – kiddos and grown-ups – to more fully immerse themselves in Bluey’s world and create their own fun-filled adventures.

The costume line has seen great success in both retail and online sales, so it is expected to remain a fan favorite. The costumes are currently available at major retailers, specialty stores, and online, with new additions expected for the upcoming fall season.

PMI Kids’ World just hit a big milestone. 

The growing maker of licensed toys and collectibles inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog, Fuggler, Creature Cases, Naruto, the UFC, and more is celebrating three decades in the toy industry.

Founded by Boaz Dekel in a small office in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 1995, PMI (initially signifying “pocket money and impulse” toys) launched with collectible trading cards before expanding into licensed toys. The company built its domestic business over its first 19 years, first setting up shop at Spielwarenmesse in Nuremberg, Germany, in 2014 and setting its sights on international expansion.

As PMI celebrates its 30th anniversary, the company is now the third-largest maker of video game-inspired toys and collectibles and was the fastest-growing company in the Action Figures & Collectibles category in the U.S. in 2024, according to Circana. Last year, Boaz Dekel stepped into a Chairperson role as his son, Omer Dekel, took the helm as CEO to lead PMI Kids’ World into the future.

Reaching this 30-year milestone is a testament to the passion, dedication, and hard work of our team, partners, and loyal customers around the world. PMI has always been about more than just toys, we create experiences, encourage imagination, and bring the hottest toys to millions. But more than that, PMI is a family, and every stakeholder—our employees, partners, and customers are a part of it. We treat our entire network with the same care, respect, and commitment that have driven our success.”

Flush Out the Competition: ‘Stumble Guys’ Teams Up with Skibidi Toilet for New Season

Invisible Narratives’ web series Skibidi Toilet has taken the world by storm, and now it’s plunging into the Stumbleverse. Stumble Guys is teaming up with the viral phenomenon for new content inspired by the meme-fuelled mayhem: Concrete Chaos.

As the latest of Skibidi Toilet’s licensed ventures, Concrete Chaos combines Scopely’s battle royale video game with beloved characters and settings from the series. During the event, Skibidi Toilets and Cameramen turn the streets into an urban jungle, and Mr. Stumble, his crew, and players are all caught up in the madness. The update launches today, bringing new maps, cosmetics, and other in-game content along with it. 

Check out the official trailer for the season! | Source: Scopely

Whether they stand with the tech or the toilets, players can show off their faction with new cosmetics. Throughout the game, players can unlock six Skibidi styles inspired by the Toilets, Speakermen, TV Men, and Cameramen to customize their Stumbler, as well as an emote, step, and victory animation. Kids can sport their favorite characters or collect them all to create a Royal Flush!

The season also introduces a limited-time elimination map, Graffiti Gravity, where one wrong stumble will send players tumbling. Players must dodge falling hazards and the holes they create at the top of a beautiful city skyline. As the level continues, debris will drop faster and harder until only one winner is left standing. 

“‘Stumble Guys’ thrives on surreal, larger-than-life experiences, and nothing embodies that spirit better than Skibidi Toilet,” said Jake Bales, Game Director at Scopely. “Having both started as Gen Z sensations, Skibidi aligns perfectly with the absurdity that makes ‘Stumble Guys’ so beloved. This collab is all about embracing our inner wild side because in the Stumbleverse, anything goes.”

Stumble Guys is available on all major video game consoles and mobile platforms, such as the App Store and Google Play Store.

Nacelle Gives First Looks at New ‘Star Trek’ Figures, ‘Biker Mice from Mars’ Series at WonderCon

WonderCon wrapped up last week, and we are still buzzing from the exciting reveals and launches at this year’s comic and pop culture convention. Two significant announcements came from Nacelle — details about the upcoming Biker Mice from Mars animated series and a new wave of Star Trek action figures.

For Biker Mice from Mars, fans received their first look at the main cast for the highly anticipated revamped series. The heroes include Throttle, Vinnie, Modo, Charley Davidson, Rimfire, Carbine, Stoker, and Sergeant Scabbard. The main villains are Lawrence Limburger, Greasepit, Karbunkle, Fred the Mutant, Napoleon Brie, X-Terminator, Evil Eye Weevil, Lord Camembert, and Lectromag. The first original character to be released from Nacelle within the Biker Mice from Mars universe is Scorch, who is on the villainous side.

For Nacelle’s Star Trek line, the company revealed the second wave of the highly anticipated Star Trek action figure line, which includes ten new figures. Standouts include Captain Kirk from Star Trek: Generations, Romulan Commander from Star Trek: The Original Series, Geordi La Forge (Generations Sailor) from Star Trek: Generations, and Valeris from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Captain Kirk’s action figure accessories were also debuted. His action figure will come with a horse, a jar of dill weed, some eggs, an axe, and logs — really all the space captain could ask for.  

Both announcements are making us keep our eyes on Nacelle and excited for what is to come. For more information, visit nacellestore.com.
