This expansion coincides with Hello Kitty's 50th anniversary and includes new and creative product lines for 2025.

The second wave of collectibles keeps the original theme of blending past and present, featuring both classic – Hello Kitty, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll and My Melody – and new characters – Pompompurin and Pochacco. The expanded range now includes two additional doll collections, three keychain lines with hand straps, a bracelet keychain with a light-up celebration series, a bedside light series and a memo stand. These will roll out into the range throughout spring 2025.

The second wave introduces two figurine collections, with 5cm and 7cm Hello Kitty dolls. The 5cm Cute Outfit Series features eight uniquely styled dolls, while the 7cm Four Seasons Series celebrates each season with eight dolls. Each doll is packaged in a blind box for a surprise element.

Tales of the Valiant Starter SetSteamforged Games   •   07960 653 922      www.steamforged.com     b2b@steamforged.com

Steamforged has teamed up with Kobold Press to create the ultimate tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) Starter Set. Based on the hit Tales of the Valiant roleplaying game, this Starter Set is designed to deliver an enthralling experience for beginners, helping bring new players into the hobby.

Over the past 10 years, TTRPGs have seen a transition from a niche hobby to the mainstream, with the success of shows and films such as Stranger Things, the Dungeons and Dragons movie, Critical Role and Dimension 20 leading the charge. TTRPGs have never been more accessible and appealing, reaching a much wider audience than before and vastly growing the TTRPG industry.

As more people come into the hobby, Steamforged Games believes it’s vital to make sure they can join in the fun with minimal barriers to entry. Many TTRPGs require a Game Master—a referee who runs the game for the other players—and this role has often been seen as intimidating to pick up. Challenging this view is one of the driving forces behind the Starter Set. Everything needed to get playing right away is included, including miniatures representing four iconic characters from the Tales of the Valiant universe.

Steamforged Games’ goal is to make learning fundamental roleplaying skills a fun and intuitive experience for beginners, without needing an already experienced player at the table. From the basics, like how to talk at the table, all the way to creating and running exciting adventures, each skill is covered in a way that’s quick to learn and fun to play.

BedHedzKid Kreations   •   julie@kidkreations.co.uk

Kid Kreations has announced the launch of BedHedz, its new range of cotton dolls, set to capture the imagination of fans and collectors across the UK and beyond.

Originally popularised in South Korea, cotton dolls were designed to resemble popular idols and celebrities, creating a unique, collectible way for fans to connect with their favourite stars. Since then, they’ve taken Asia by storm, and now, Kid Kreations is bringing this beloved toy phenomenon to the UK market with a unique line-up loaded with personality and charm.

BedHedz is a playful new range of dolls that captures the look of characters who have just woken up, complete with chaotic, tousled hair and cosy, all-in-one pyjamas, as though they’ve rolled right out of bed.

The collection introduces three distinct themes:

• Foodiez – Inspired by all things tasty, these dolls come in fun, food-themed designs.

• Animez – For fans of Japanese pop culture, the Anime collection features dolls with bold, colourful designs that echo the dynamic world of anime.

• Nitemarez – Perfect for those who love a darker twist, the Nitemarez collection brings spooky, yet adorable, characters to life.

Each BedHedz doll is made from high-quality materials with intricate details that give each character a unique look and personality.

To ensure a successful launch, Kid Kreations is rolling out a comprehensive marketing campaign to introduce BedHedz and engage fans of all ages. The campaign will include cross-platform digital advertising, influencer collaborations, sampling and press activations.

For more information on BedHedz, please contact Kid Kreations’ sales director, Julie Taylor, via the details above.
