We are so excited to work with our partners at Jazwares to deliver products that allow fans to celebrate their fandom from must-have collectibles to adorable, squishable plush, and in a wide array of categories and products that offer something for every kind of fan and demo, from kids to adults,” said Anna Songco Adamian, Vice President of Global Consumer Products, Crunchyroll.
The collaboration marks Jazwares’ comprehensive evolution into the anime space across multiple product categories and price points that deliver collectors and casual fans highly authentic, on-brand experiences. Featuring a vast selection of scales, characters, and series, Jazwares will focus on a “for-fans, by-fans” portfolio approach to transform favourite anime properties into authentic figures, playsets, vehicles, plush, costumes, and more.
“Jazwares continually provides a connective tissue between pop-culture, a passionate fandom and the creation of high-quality collectibles that are highly detailed sculpts and decos,” said Gerhard Runken, Senior Vice President of Brand & Marketing, Jazwares. “As long-time enthusiasts of the anime phenomenon, we are proud and ready to collaborate with Crunchyroll to give fans incredible experiences with collectible figures, plush, and other surprise-and-delight moments across multiple retail channels globally.”
