NEW YORK, June 20, 2006:
Taffy Entertainment will announce a major product launch for Cartoon Network’s
hit animated program Code Lyoko
at Licensing Show this week.

A
new toy line, created by Marvel Toys, will be available exclusively at Toy ‘R’
Us stores nationwide beginning this month. In August, distribution will expand
to other retail outlets such as WalMart and Target, in time for the back to
school push. The Marvel Toys’ line for Code Lyoko includes 5-inch action figures and role-play toys.

In the fall, The Game
Factory will release the Code Lyoko
video game for Nintendo, to coincide with the airing of the show’s third season
on Cartoon Network. September 2006 will see the release of the show’s first
season on DVD through U.S. licensing agent FUNimation Entertainment, and the
all-new title, Sector 5 Mystery,
in November.
