Torchwood merchandise will be globally available this summer after an international distribution licence was secured by a leading firm.
Toy News Online reports that Underground Toys has won the rights to distribute new Torchwood products such as action figures, mugs and playing cards in both the UK and the US. The company will also take over the existing range of items based on the Doctor Who spinoff show.
BBC Worldwide’s Head of International Licensing, Anna Hewitt, said: “We’re thrilled to embark on this project with Underground Toys. The partnership follows the success of the Doctor Who range, which Underground Toys distributes in North America, and we’re looking to tap into the amazing TV success on both sides of the pond to attract toy sales across a range of premium product.”
