Spin Master Preps Premiere of Rusty Rivets

TORONTO: Spin Master is gearing up for the debut of Rusty Rivets, a new animated series that is slated to begin airing on Nickelodeon later this summer.

Rusty Rivets centers on a clever, tech-savvy young hero who uses his inventions to save the day. The 26-episode show is produced and created by Spin Master Entertainment. It is scheduled to premiere on Nickelodeon on August 22. Pre-released episodes will become available online as early as this month. Spin Master will be launching a Rusty Rivets toy line in fall 2017.

Other properties in Spin Master’s 2016 licensing portfolio include The Powerpuff Girls, Popples and Noddy. The company serves as master toy licensee for the reimagined brands, with a variety of merchandise—including figures and play sets—hitting retail in the fall. Spin Master is also on board the new Teletubbies, with a collection of plush, plastics and bath toys launching in France, Germany and Benelux this fall, and in the U.S. in spring 2017.

Spin Master is also releasing licensed products for the feature films Star Trek, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, The Secret Life of Pets and The Angry Birds Movie; the preschool properties PAW Patrol, Masha and the Bear, TruckTown and Build-A-Bear Workshop; and the engineering-themed Meccano. In addition, the company will be extending its licensing partnerships for How to Train Your Dragon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Minecraft.

“As Spin Master continues to grow, we are focused on building and partnering with evergreen properties that parents and families can connect with through programming and product,” stated Ben Gadbois, the president and COO of Spin Master. “We understand how play extends from the screen to the physical world and we’re pleased to announce multiple master licensee agreements and our new series, Rusty Rivets.”
