The Master toy products are already distributed in the U.S., Latin America, Germany, Denmark and Belgium. Already available globally and distributed by Bandai in Italy, Gigantosaurus: The Game was designed by Outright Games in collaboration with Cyber Group Studios and developed by Wildsphere Studios.

Gigantosaurus is an adventure-comedy series produced by Cyber Group Studios, based on Jonny Duddle’s book published by Templar. The series is streaming on Netflix and Disney+ globally. The first episodes became available on Rai Play on September 12 and the series will be broadcasted on Rai YoYo starting September 21.

Maurizio Distefano, CEO of Maurizio Distefano Advisory, said: “We truly believe in the strong potential of this series for the Italian territory! Gigantosaurus has already won the heart of all children and families globally, thanks to its themes and engaging stories. In each episode, preschoolers are jumping into a new epic adventure with our four dino friends that are on the look for Gigantosaurus. With the licensing products soon available in Italy, children will be able to re-create these scenes at home with their friends and families.”

Bruno Danzel d’Aumont, international licensing and marketing VP, added: “Gigantosaurus is a great global and long-term upper preschool Property. I am very confident that Gigantosaurus will be successfully launched in Italy under Maurizio’s leadership by working with the major key players and major retailers.
