Spin Master inked a deal with Universal Brand Development to become master toy partner for the series, with plans to bring characters from Gabby’s Dollhouse to life through figures, play sets, plush, games, and puzzles. Set to debut globally next year, Gabby’s Dollhouse is created and executive produced by Traci Paige Johnson (Blue’s Clues, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood) and Jennifer Twomey (Blue’s Clues, Team Umizoomi). The toys are expected to hit retail in 2021.
