Some popular characters are getting new toys next year.

TCG Toys inked a multicategory licensing deal with WildBrain for Strawberry Shortcake and Boat Rocker’s Dino Ranch.

“These two properties are perfect for fans of our toys, puzzles, games, playmats, and more,” says TCG Toys President and CEO Michael Albert. “For two decades now, we’ve had the great opportunity to manufacture products based on classic, contemporary, and the hottest kids’ properties. This is a testament to our collective team’s commitment to delivering high-quality toys and great value.”
