Blue Sky has been securing and bolstering its licensing portfolio to cover the next few years.

The company has renewed and expanded its deal with Hasbro which includes additions such as Transformers, Dungeons and Dragons and Peppa Pig, to run alongside the evergreen properties My Little Pony and Nerf. There will be increased activity around the Transformers franchise over the next few years, and Blue Sky’s planning to support this is already underway with product development on a Manga style capsule range. Peppa will join the ever-expanding family of collectible Mini Pen Pals which has been hugely successful to date, and the company is also working on several brand-new product formats for the popular pre-school property.

Blue Sky has expanded its multi-licence deal with Warner Bros and is looking forward to working on some new DC Universe ranges; with Beetlejuice, Power Puff Girls and Looney Tunes just a few of the properties involved. There will also be a completely new look for the Harry Potter range for autumn/winter 2023.

Blue Sky is also launching several new desktop product formats across each licence such as Jumbo desk mats, 3D Desk tidies, tech cases and desk lights later this year.

Blue Sky’s most recent licensing deal was with CPLG - MGM for the hugely popular Wednesday franchise. With the second Netflix series confirmed for later in 2024, Blue Sky is already busy designing and developing the range, as early demand is very high across its customer base.

With the Back-to-School season shortly upon us, Blue Sky is counting down the days until the launch of its Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Mutant Mayhem range, which includes Backpacks, Water bottles, Lunchware, Stationery and novelty gifting. With the hype surrounding the movie release this summer and the level of pre-orders the company has had to date, Blue Sky expects the Turtles to be a big success this year.
