New Licensed Product News

I figured the "juniors and tweens" bit would irritate some, myself included. But why focus just on that when it's only 1/4 of the news? Stumbled upon another article today-

ATLANTA, February 12: Cartoon Network Enterprises (CNE) has secured four new merchandising partners for its Emmy Award-winning series Foster?s Home for Imaginary Friends: Horizon Imports, Boston America, Freeze and Design International Group.

Horizon Imports has inked a multi-year agreement to create a full line of Foster?s-branded hosiery, including socks, leg and arm warmers. Freeze will develop a line of t-shirts for juniors and tweens, which will be available at mid-tier and mass retailers. Boston America will create lip balms and tinned mints, featuring characters from the series, while Design International Group will roll out a line of notebooks, pens, stationery and more.

These products will bolster the lines, aimed at juniors and tweens, which are already at retailers, including a line of apparel by Mighty Fine; bags and accessories by Loungefly; footwear, bags and watches from E.S. Originals; bedding and room décor by Franco Manufacturing; and a jewelry line from H.E.R.

Foster?s Home for Imaginary Friends follows the adventures of a group of imaginary friends who have outgrown their creators and the humans who care for them. The series, which was created by Craig McCracken (The Powerpuff Girls), is currently in its fifth season and consistently ranks as one of Cartoon Network?s highest-rated shows.

"...Bags and accessories by Loungefly; footwear, bags and watches from E.S. Originals; bedding and room décor by Franco Manufacturing; and a jewelry line from H.E.R." Now there's some things we all can appreciate, I think. Even the guys!
