§ 『魔術師マーリン』のアクションフィギュアが海外で販売予定に
ToyNewsOnlineによると、『The Adventures of Merlin(邦題：魔術師マーリン)』のアクションフィギュアの販売を、Getretroが販売予定とのことです。
Getretro will produce action toy figurines of the main characters, The Dragon and other magical creatures, as well as play-sets.
Meanwhile, FME has also announced the commission of series three from BBC One, reflecting the success of the programme both in the UK and overseas.
Starting with lead characters Merlin and Arthur, Getretro aims to have the figurine prototypes ready for Toy Fair 2010 and the first products in retail to coincide with series three in autumn 2010.
Well known in the collectables field, the deal moves Getretro into the toy market and, in addition to the figures, they will also be producing branded stamp covers and sheets.
David Ellender, global CEO of FME commented: “From the start we believed Merlin could be a truly great global franchise and that is coming to fruition. We’re working with the best broadcasters, producers and licensing partners on this brand and look forward to its ongoing success.”
アーサーとマーリンのプロトタイプはもう出来上がっており、2010/01/26～01/28のロンドンで開催されるToy Fairに出展される予定とのこと。最初の商品は、シリーズ３が始まる今秋に出るようです。
