ENFIELD, Conn. -- Oct. 26, 2005 -- The LEGO Group, manufacturer of creative play materials for children, today announces procurement of exclusive worldwide construction toy rights for the entire portfolio of children's entertainment powerhouse Nickelodeon, as well as partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products on DC Comics' classic Batman™ brand.

Nickelodeon

An agreement with Nickelodeon grants master construction toy rights to the entire catalog of Nickelodeon properties, including Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. and Nickelodeon Movies.

The first two Nick properties coming to life in brick form are "SpongeBob SquarePants" and the newest network hit, "Avatar: The Last Airbender," both rated in the network's top 10 for boys ages 6-11, according to A.C. Nielsen. Both lines will be available in August 2006.

Three constructible LEGO® SpongeBob SquarePants playsets feature iconic character minifigures, role play functionality and gadgets to reflect the property's wacky fun and silly pranks in iconic settings like Bikini Bottom and the Krusty Krab.

LEGO Avatar: The Last Airbender offers two hero models with collectible minifigures and role play action to recreate popular environs of the animated series. Planned marketing support includes TV, Web content, LEGO Club, model tour, co-promotions and retail feature.

"Nickelodeon is thrilled to partner with the LEGO Group across our full list of properties," says Sherice Torres, vice president, hard goods - Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products. "LEGO Group knows how to dazzle kids with imaginative construction toys and the combined appeal of the Nickelodeon and LEGO brands is a stamp of approval for kids and parents alike."

Batman™

Through an agreement with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, LEGO Group acquires construction toy license for the classic Batman brand, inspired by the pages of DC Comics' comic books; Warner Bros. Animation's hit television series, The Batman; Warner Bros. Pictures' blockbuster feature film, Batman Begins, which debuted in theaters this past summer and any related theatrical releases or television programs that are produced during the period of this deal.

Beginning in April 2006, LEGO Group will introduce six Batman products featuring constructible play sets with strong vehicle focus, cool functionality, gadgets and a library of collectible mini-figures.

The LEGO Batman product line replicates the collectible craze the company created around its best-selling LEGO Harry Potter™ series - where sets are designed to be combined to further the storyline and role play opportunities.

"Our partnership with the LEGO brand on Harry Potter has been an extremely successful one and we are excited about building our relationship through Batman," said Karen McTier, Executive Vice President of Domestic Licensing, Global Toys, Publishing and Themed Entertainment for Warner Bros. Consumer Products. "LEGO Group brings a wealth of creativity and quality to the products they produce and are uniquely positioned to meet the high level of expectations we have for Batman, one of our marquis brands."

LEGO Batman will be supported with TV, print and online ads, Web content, LEGO Club, targeted events, a model tour and retail promotions.

AWeSOME!

[Machineman]

Big Batfan....I'm thinking they're "kinda" cool. The figures are great, but aside from 2 wing pieces, you could build most of that stuff now.

So 280.00 to get them all? I'm in and Lego knows it.

[shockertoys]

The joker def has some cool hair lol!

[Squishee Slinger]

It's certainly not a BIG cash cow lisence like Bucky O'Hare but I think LEGO might just be able to make an under appreciated property work for a few $s.

~SS~

[shockertoys]

hmmm well I think I already know Lego can make it work...Son't you think so. And even though BOH is not a super license like 2000ad and Judge Dredd the marvel/dc of the UK which we have the rights too also for kinis I think they came out looking pretty good!
Back On Topic~~
I am really digging two face!

[Batman]

It's a link to my post on a different forum. It has a big batcave pic and the alternate model to the sets.

[Squishee Slinger]

The real question is can Shocker toys make Bucky O'Hare and Toxic Crusader work.

~SS~

[shockertoys]

Hey we are already meeting with TRU and Kay Bee at TF to push all the retro lines and our new licenses as well. We can make stuff work we got off on a bad foot I admit it but have been listening hard to fans and advertising the proper ways! We shall make a good toy whether its our Shockinis or our new 5 inch interchangable line or our new 7" fully sculpted figs! Plus Jason Spyda Adams the son of Neal Adams who created Bucky did all the Bucky Sculpts and the paint decos there is pics on our forums.

On Topic: I am really digging the Scarcrow!

[Squishee Slinger]

Good then hopefully with your toys in stores you can give up all the gratuitous MB pimping and AIM harassment to drum up business. I've never held a shockini so I have no idea how good or bad they really are, but that infernal spamming turned so MANY people off in the not so distant past is a real milstone for your toys.

Good Luck,
~SS~

[shockertoys]

Yes the spamming was bad and is done. The employee who had that bright idea is gone. We are about making toys now for toy fans! We advertise in magazines now and are in real stores! No need to spam no back on topic!

Was there a lego type DC line way back in the days?

[Squishee Slinger]

C3 was the DC LEGO like line that came out just last year.
