Britain’s Heathside Trading Ltd. has established an agreement with Toho International Inc to become a licensee for Godzilla. The agreement was brokered by Rocket Licensing and KJG Ltd.
The announcement comes as Godzilla Minus One, due for release in the UK next week has hit the US by storm, with stellar reviews and box office, after reportedly being made for a mere $15 million.
The Godzilla licensed line, which will launch spring 2024 through selected retail partners, as well as direct-to-consumer through MasterReplicas.com, will include 3D Keychains, Squishes, Mini Stickees and Slime based on the Godzilla library.
Darren Epstein from Heathside commented, “We are so thrilled to be working with Toho International Inc and Rocket on this series of pop culture and gifting products. As big fans of the films and TV series, we are excited to offer new ranges of product under our Khadou brand.”
