“You can play with their stuff, but you can PLAY WITH THIS TOO.”
Manchester, CT – Several former Hasbro employees and toy industry experts have pulled together to form a new design and manufacturing company named Play With This Too (PWTToo).
Play With This Too’s goals include being a top brand developer, designer, manufacturer and wholesale distributor of high-end collectible action figures and toys. Their aim is to target the rapidly growing collector oriented toy market and produce products for both wholesale distribution and exclusives for conventions, retailers and websites.
In February of 2015, Play With This Too will launch a crowd funding campaign to produce their first line of original figures. This debut line will consist of 6” highly articulated action figures with interchangeable parts and weapons. These figures will include intergalactic heroes versus ferocious monsters.
In 2015, Play With This Too will continue to engage with potential licensors to bring official products based on existing brands to market. Later that same year, Play With This Too will begin to offer full service design and manufacturing, as well as intellectual property development for delivery over Transmedia networks.
