Cannon Busters arrived on Netflix on the 15th August, the reviews are incredibly positive and the fanbase is growing exponentially for this great new property!
With the launch comes a number of merchandise activity:
5th Sun are the North American apparel partners and supplying Hot Topic with (1) t-shirt into all 700 stores and another (3) t-shirts into 400 stores – these are in-store now and online too. A bigger range is in development
Also in the US, Trends have the first poster online now and at retail soon, and the enamel pin and patch ranges from FiGPiN will be available from October. Other worldwide licensees include Animegami for 1/6 resin statues and Wild Bangarang for a range of leggings, sports tops, and sports shorts.
Zee will have the jigsaw out later this year.
Trademark Products supplied HMV and EMP with t-shirts soon after show launch. We expect the baseball caps and hoodies to arrive in the autumn. HMV is very pleased with the sales of the range so far and is interested in other related products.
Finally, there will be a hand-engraved solid metal coin licensee on board. Arkansas-based Shire Post Mint will use an antique coin press and be recreating the quarters that are fed into Bessie the Cadillac to initiate raging bull mode.
