The initial range will include plush, vehicles, action figures and dress-up items.<\/p>\n<p>The offering of <em>PJ Masks<\/em> U.K. merchandise will grow in fall and winter of next year as publishing and apparel items debut at mass market retail. Hachette has been appointed as the master publishing partner for the territory and is on board to produce a line of publishing formats. eOne has also inked a deal with Immediate Media for a stand-alone official <em>PJ Masks<\/em> four-weekly kids\u2019 magazine. Redan will introduce <em>PJ Masks<\/em> content into its multi-brand <em>Fun to Learn Favourites<\/em> and <em>Fun to Learn Friends<\/em> magazines. The first U.K. apparel partner is Aykroyd TDP, which will launch kids\u2019 nightwear and underwear. eOne&#8217;s\u00a0<em>PJ Masks<\/em> licensing program in the U.K. will be aimed at boys aged 4 to 6.<\/p>\n<p>Katie Rollings, the head of U.K. licensing at Entertainment One, commented, \u201c<em>PJ Masks<\/em> is quickly establishing a solid and engaged fan base across the country with viewers being drawn to the show\u2019s heroic characters, action-packed story lines and top-class animation. We\u2019ve had a tremendous response to the property and we\u2019re now delighted to be welcoming a top-tier lineup of partners to the <em>PJ Masks<\/em> U.K. licensing program who we\u2019re confident will give young fans the best possible experience of the brand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simon Hedge, the managing director of GP Flair, said, \u201cWe have an extensive product lineup that we believe will perfectly emulate the action and adventure that is part of every <em>PJ Masks<\/em> episode. On previewing the collection, our retailers were keen to launch as early [as] possible, hence the early spring release of the collection. To support this we are putting together a marketing strategy, targeting both boys and girls, that will ensure awareness of the toy lines at its height from the moment the toys hit the stores.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The animated preschool series about three pajama-clad superheroes launched on the 24-hour Disney Junior channel in the U.K. in February. The show consistently ranks in the channel\u2019s top five rated series. The U.S. licensing program counts more than 40 partners. Merchandise began rolling out in North America this fall, including introductory toys from Just Play, publishing products from Simon &amp; Schuster and apparel from Happy Threads. Merchandise is set to roll out across additional international territories starting next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: Entertainment One (eOne) has signed the first U.K. partners for its PJ Masks licensing program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":11291,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[255,296],"class_list":["post-11290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-entertainment-one","tag-pj-masks","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>eOne Secures First U.K. Licensees for PJ Masks - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/eone-secures-first-u-k-licensees-for-pj-masks\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"eOne Secures First U.K. Licensees for PJ Masks - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LONDON: Entertainment One (eOne) has signed the first U.K. partners for its PJ Masks licensing program.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/eone-secures-first-u-k-licensees-for-pj-masks\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-11-14T15:37:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-11-14T15:49:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2015\/09\/PJMasks-eOne-1116.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/eone-secures-first-u-k-licensees-for-pj-masks\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/eone-secures-first-u-k-licensees-for-pj-masks\/\",\"name\":\"eOne Secures First U.K. Licensees for PJ Masks - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-11-14T15:37:03+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-11-14T15:49:27+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/eone-secures-first-u-k-licensees-for-pj-masks\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/eone-secures-first-u-k-licensees-for-pj-masks\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/eone-secures-first-u-k-licensees-for-pj-masks\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"eOne Secures First U.K. Licensees for PJ Masks\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
