An exclusive line of products from PMI, including collectibles, mini figures, stampers, games and more, is planned to launch in early 2023.<\/p>\n<p>PMI joins other newly signed licensees for <em>Sonic Prime<\/em>, including Ravensburger for puzzles and E Plus M for apparel. WildBrain CPLG has more licensing deals in the pipeline.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sonic Prime<\/em> is co-produced by WildBrain and SEGA of America and builds on the franchise\u2019s momentum over recent years. The brand\u2019s 30th anniversary was celebrated in 2021 and two feature films from Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY were launched.<\/p>\n<p>Maarten Weck, executive VP and managing director at WildBrain CPLG, said: \u201cSonic is more popular than ever, and PMI has a preeminent reputation for bringing IP to life with engaging and affordable toys and collectibles, making them an excellent partner for <em>Sonic Prime<\/em>. We\u2019re excited to see this consumer products campaign shape up with momentum building ahead of the launch. Sonic fans of all ages are in for a real treat!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Omer Dekel, COO at PMI, commented: \u201cPartnering with the iconic<em> Sonic <\/em>brand will no doubt be a huge adventure! Our new product line based on the new <em>Sonic Prime<\/em> series features a mix of core designs and some very cool new designs that are going to make a lot of noise in the market. We are very excited about the upcoming toy line of top-quality licensed products and joining SEGA\u2019s Sonic ecosystem alongside the Netflix series, movie and gaming. A big thanks to our friends at WildBrain CPLG and Big Picture Licensing for a job well done in brokering the deal. On a personal note, I now get an extra kick seeing how much my young son loves Sonic, just as I did when I was a boy myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ivo Gerscovich, chief brand and business officer at SEGA, added: \u201cSonic the Hedgehog has continued to shatter records in 2022, becoming one of the largest entertainment brands in the world, and we\u2019re proud to be partnering with PMI, whose reputation proceeds themselves within the licensing space.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WildBrain CPLG has named PMI as the novelty toy and games consumer products partner for the upcoming Netflix adventure series Sonic Prime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":23745,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[6658,6659,5169],"class_list":["post-23744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-pmi","tag-sega-of-america","tag-wildbrain-cplg","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>WildBrain CPLG Appoints Toys &amp;
