Heathside is set to launch a series of licensed action figures this spring from Thunderbirds, Space: 1999 and other iconic titles.
Heathside has signed a licensing agreement with ITV Studios to launch a collection of 2.75” action figures for Space 1999, UFO, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90. Production will begin in spring 2024, and the range will be available through selected retail partners, as well as direct to consumers through www.masterreplicas.com globally by summer.
Darren Epstein, from Heathside, said: ‘’Once again we are adding some core fan favourite IP to our increasing portfolio of properties. The huge global fanbase for these licences will mean we will be able to bring some really impressive content to fans worldwide. Product should be available from June 2024.’’
Jurian van der Meer, EVP of Brand Licensing at ITV Studios, added: “ITV Studios is proud to have such iconic British brands in its portfolio. Shows like Thunderbirds helped shape the history of British television and have a very loyal fanbase worldwide. These new action figures will come just in time to celebrate Thunderbirds’ 60th anniversary in 2025.”
Earlier this year, Heathside reinforced its commitment to the company’s Master Replicas and Khadou brands through two key appointments that will help support the company’s growth. Ben Robinson has joined as the new head of Brand for Master Replicas, and the team has also welcomed Markus Bhatia as the new commercial manager for Khadou.
