2010’s Best-Selling “It” Dolls
Lalaloopsy™ & Mini-Lalaloopsy™
Expand with Colorful New Characters and Environments in 2011
-MGA Entertainment Secures Raft of High Caliber Licensing Partnerships for Lalaloopsy™ Brand-
New York Toy Fair, New York (February 13, 2011) - Buoyed by sold-out sales and outstanding reviews, MGA Entertainment continues the giant-sized Lalaloopsy™ buzz in spring 2011 with the introduction of all new characters, including the very first Lalaloopsy™ boy doll − Patch Treasurechest™− and expands the Mini Lalaloopsy™ universe to include colorful new characters and playsets.
As Lalaloopsy™ enjoys rapid brand expansion, MGA Entertainment’s newest doll line is off to a spectacular start on the licensing front, having clinched a raft of new licensing deals including: Jerry Leigh for Apparel; Modern Publishing for Color/Activity books; Added Extras for Cosmetics and Role Play; Jay Franco for Bedding, Beach and Bath; Rubie’s for Halloween Costumes; Berkshire Fashions for Cold Weather Wear; Pan Oceanic for Sunglasses; Ceaco for Puzzles and Lee Publications for Novelty Publishing.
In addition, MGA Entertainment is currently in development for the first-ever Lalaloopsy™ feature length movie. This made-for-DVD feature will be released in spring 2012 and will star the original Lalaloopsy™ characters.
Hailed as 2010’s “hottest toy of the season,” (CBS The Early Show), “the year’s Tickle Me Elmo,” (MSNBC) and described as “creating Cabbage Patch-like hysteria among Holiday shoppers,” (New York Post), Lalaloopsy™ takes girls on a magical journey to a whimsical world of imagination. A unique collection of 13”dolls that magically came to life when their very last stitch was sewn, each Lalaloopsy™ was born on a special national holiday and has her own personality developed by the fabrics used to make her. Designed to encourage a child’s imagination and creativity, Lalaloopsy™ teaches important life lessons such as diversity, individuality and the idea that everything can be recycled and nothing should ever go to waste.
The following Lalaloopsy™ and Mini Lalaloopsy™ products are currently hitting store shelves:
