ITV Studios Global Entertainment has tapped Modern Brands and Planet Fun as its exclusive toy distribution partners for the new Thunderbirds Are Go toy line in Australia and New Zealand. Under the new deal, both Modern Brands and Planet Fun will begin to sell the autumn/winter 2019 Thunderbirds Are Go …

The new toy line consists of collectables, action figures and vehicles which encourage imaginative rescue roleplay and interaction between the characters and their craft.

Inspired by the classic novel that has sold more than 50 million copies worldwide, BAFTA nominated scriptwriter Tom Bidwell has reimagined Watership Down.

Top Class, produced by ITV Studios for CBBC, is presented by Susan Calman and features teams from schools competing to be the ‘Top Class’. The series launched in September 2016 and reached 3.4M viewers in 2017.

The deal covers territories worldwide, excluding the US, and was brokered by ITVS GE, the UK licensing agent appointed by the brand manager PGS Entertainment.

Global social media influencers Ethan Gamer and Ali-A both star in the series and will be involved on an ongoing basis in promotion.

Kuato Studios has previously worked with ITV Studios on a Thunderbirds Are Go story-telling game app that is due to launch this summer.

“This is an exciting new iteration of the Thunderbirds brand that will allow visitors to actually be immersed in the secret world of International Rescue."

Under the deal, ACCO Brands will launch a line of 2019 calendar products for the US and Canadian markets. The deal was brokered by Spotlight Licensing and Brand Management.
