Playmobil and Studio 100 Media|m4e inked a multi-year licensing agreement for toys based on Heidi. The deal covers the worldwide rights with the exception of some territories in Asia. The consumer launch for Heidi will take place next year.
Playmobil will create figures and play sets based on the CGI animated series and planned theatrical feature from the Studio 100 Group. Both companies will jointly implement video content, such as Playmobil Heidi shorts, in line with the companion videos produced to support other Playmobil toys.
Peter Kleinschmidt, international commercial director of Studio 100 Media|m4e, says that “Playmobil and Heidi are already cult brands in their own right. They are a perfect fit and we are absolutely convinced that the planned figures and play sets will delight kids and grown-up fans around the globe. We are looking forward to this cooperation with such a strong strategic partner which optimally complements the diverse product range of the Heidi brand.”
