This collaboration will create a complete collection of toys, including figures, vehicles, playset, plush... Everything needed to bring the excitement of the Unicornia race tracks to the homes of children globally, as announced by Gianluca Ferrara, Head of DeAPlaneta Italy and International Head of Toys: “We are thrilled to join forces with TOMY and Mediawan Kids & Family to launch a robust cross-category line of toys for Karters.

This collaboration marks a significant step forward in our mission to drive growth and create lasting impact in our industry," stated.

Meanwhile, Morgan Weyl, Managing Director Licensing & Global Development for TOMY International joked about the agreement: "I would call this love at first sight. We were instantly captivated by the uniqueness of the IP, the wonderful and colourful world our heroes live in, its toyetic nature and the strong values of empowerment, friendship and equity, echoing TOMY’s everyday core values. We often talk about ‘TOMY Magic’ and we cannot wait for kids to get their hands on Karters’ toys and experience that same magic, embedded at the heart of this IP," commented.

Mediawan Kids & Family has also shown its enthusiasm for the agreement, which brings a new dimension to this upcoming animated IP: “We are excited to see the world of Karters come to life through this first toy line.
