Ambitious toy company Corinthian has signed up a further two licences for its collectable marbles brand, Marbz.

Bakugan and Gormiti will now line up alongside Ben 10 in the collection.

Both series will arrive in the summer and will have 370 different marbles to collect, featuring the most popular characters across 82 large and 288 small marbles. Each marble has a Power Pointz rating between one and ten, which is an important part of the gameplay - the higher the number, the greater the chance of winning.

"We are very focused on making Marbz a must-have collectable this year and linking with two of the biggest boys' brand will certainly help build our fan base," said Barry Hughes, Corinthian's marketing director. "With each pack of five marbles selling for just 99 pence, this is the perfect pocket money item."

In addition, other brand developments for Marbz include the refresh of the Ben 10 series this spring to focus on the Alien Force characters, as well as the launch of a Soccer Marbz collection to tie in with this summer's World Cup.
