Monster Island and pop culture retailer Forbidden Planet have launched a major collaboration with children’s graphic novel series, Dog Man.
A wide range of licensed apparel, giftware and homeware has arrived in stores, with the partnership bringing to life Dav Pilkey’s characters – including Dog Man, Lil Petey, Petey and 80HD – in new ways.
The deal was brokered by The Joester Loria Group, the exclusive global licensing agent for Dog Man and Cat Kid Comic Club, on behalf of Writers House and Dav Pilkey.
Launched in the wake of Dog Man: The Movie, the product launch features multiple t-shirts and accessories including beanies, scarves, enamel pins and keychains, badges, mugs coasters, tote bags, ceramic hanging ornaments, sticker sheets, postcards, posters and cushions.
“What an honour to welcome Dav Pilkey’s smash-hit Dog Man universe to Forbidden Planet,” commented Anthony Garnon, FP’s head of pop culture. “Forbidden Planet is the home of global pop culture and the perfect fit for the world’s number one selling graphic novel series – we’re absolutely delighted to be offering merchandise that you just can’t get anywhere else.”
Jackie DeMaio, senior licensing director at The Joester Loria Group, continued: “We are delighted to bring these two brands together. The partnership of Forbidden Planet and Dog Man comes together in such a fun and stylish collection that is sure to excite Dog Man fans.”
