Spin Master Continues to Push the Boundaries of Fun, Reveals 2015 Toy and Entertainment Portfolio at New York's International Toy Fair

Innovative technology, family-friendly gameplay and world-class licensed properties highlight Spin Master's 2015 line-up

NEW YORK, Feb. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Spin Master Ltd., a global leader and one of the top five U.S. toy manufacturers*, has unveiled its full roster of 2015 toy and entertainment offerings at the 114th American International Toy Fair in New York City.

In its 20th year of innovating fun, Spin Master's 2015 portfolio pushes the boundaries of play even further through new launches, exciting additions to many of its most beloved brands, breakthrough technological advances with new robotics and Toys to Life offerings and the announcement of some dynamic new licensing partnerships.

"As pioneers of play, we are known for our passion, creativity and innovation and we can't wait to share our newest additions with consumers and industry colleagues," says Krista DiBerardino, Spin Master's Chief Marketing Officer.

This formula is already resulting in an award-winning line-up. The best-selling Zoomer Dino was awarded two 2015 Toy of the Year (TOTY) awards from the Toy Industry Association, including the coveted Toy of the Year award and the Best Boy Toy. In total, Spin Master received seven nominations this year.

Zoomer Dino was also awarded a Toy Award at this year's opening ceremony of Spielwarenmesse, the specialty toy trade show in Nuremberg, Germany.

In addition, Spin Master's Meccanoid G15 KS personal robot from its Meccano brand won the audience award at the Living in Digital Times' Last Gadget Standing Showdown at the 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Summary of Spin Master's Key Innovations for 2015:

* Spin Master is leading the world in robotics for kids, from its lovable, award-winning Zoomer series of robotic creatures to the game-changing relaunch of the Meccano brand. This year, Spin Master Robotics continues to inspire young and old fusing the latest technology and robotics with the iconic Meccano brand (known as Erector in the U.S.). Meccanoid G15 KS is an advanced yet easy-to-use open source robotic building platform, accessible to builders covering a broad range of ages and skill sets. Meccanoid embodies the core values of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) and empowers children with a tool to learn about coding, robotics and construction.

* Toys are coming to life, great new play patterns are emerging and Spin Master continues to push the boundaries of design, technology and fun with the launch of Sick Bricks. Sick Bricks infuses incredible 3D mobile optical beaming technology, top-tier quality gameplay with the conflict kids love, and collectible toys with great character design, to create a play and entertainment experience unlike any other.

* Pop Stream continues Spin Master's tradition of innovation by combining traditional board game play with technology and entertainment from Universal, 20th Century Fox and Paramount. The result is a totally new way to play pop trivia and relive those much-loved movie experiences together.

Highlights of Spin Master's 2015 portfolio include:

Meccano: For more than 100 years, Meccano has been the construction set of choice for young engineers, inventors and builders. Back in a big way in 2015 with a series of new build kits that will introduce real-world engineering to a new generation of makers. This year is even more exciting with the wildly popular new Meccanoid G15 KS and G15 personal robot maker systems. Both kits are advanced yet easy-to-use, open source Robotic Building platforms, making them accessible to builders with a range of ages and skill sets.

Zoomer: Zoomer Dino was one of the most-talked about toys of 2014 and was awarded two 2015 Toy of the Year (TOTY) awards by the Toy Industry Association, including the coveted Toy of the Year award. In 2015, the Zoomer family is growing with several additions and actions sure to roll, creep and crawl into hearts. Using True Balance Technology™, all Zoomers will stay perfectly balanced as they walk, roam and move, making them a great toy option and a cornerstone of Spin Master's ever-evolving robotics division. Additions for 2015 will include all-new Zoomer Zuppies (your personal puppy), an all new and unique Zoomer Kitty and pint-sized Zoomer Chomplingz Dinos.

Sick Bricks: Sick Bricks is the only video game that lets you mix and match characters to create your own, then instantly beam them into a world of conflict play using collectible figures and exclusive mobile optical beaming technology. The game features more than 70 fun and exciting characters that mix and match to create hundreds of custom characters with exciting new powers. What results is an immersive Toys to Life gameplay experience that allows players to build a combo, unlock sick powers, defeat the goons, and save Sick City.

Original Julius Jr. Press Release via PR Newswire:

Julius Jr. Partners With Blick Art Materials For "Donation For Imagination" Program

Julius Jr. & Blick Art Materials to Collect and Donate Art Supplies for Kids Nationwide

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Julius Jr. and Blick Art Materials today announced "Donation for Imagination," a new art supplies drive benefitting kids nationwide. The initiative was established to inspire creativity in kids by providing art supplies to nonprofit organizations, schools and after-school art programs. The drive kicks off today as an official partner of #GivingTuesday, a globally recognized day dedicated to giving back, and runs through December 24, 2014. Supporters of the effort can make donations at conveniently located donation bins at 66 Blick stores nationwide and online through Blick's Art Room Aid website.

Julius Jr. Partners with Blick Art Materials for "Donation for Imagination" Program

The Julius Jr. "Donation for Imagination" program has transitioned from what began as the Paul Frank Art Supplies Round-Up, the first-ever national art supplies drive for kids, which Saban Brands and Blick Art Materials debuted during the 2012 holiday season. Over the past two years, donations to the drive have topped more than $120,000 in art supplies, benefitting more than 35,000 children.

"For the third year in a row, Saban Brands has partnered with Blick Art Materials to inspire donations of thousands of art supplies across the nation, first with Paul Frank, and now with Julius Jr.'s 'Donation for Imagination'," said Elie Dekel, President of Saban Brands. "We're excited about the evolution of the program as creativity, invention and imagination are all core elements of the Julius Jr. television series, making this a very natural transition and partnership."

Through this partnership with Blick Art Materials, the program encourages Julius Jr. fans and Blick shoppers to donate new and gently used art supplies to local children's art non-profits. In addition to serving as a central donation destination, Blick stores are supporting the effort with a special 20% discount for products purchased as donations. Customers who donate will also receive a thank-you offer good for 20% off their own purchases from Dec. 26 through Dec. 31. Each store will work with either a local children's art non-profit or Blick's national partner, Dreaming Zebra, to distribute donations to their community. Online donations can be made through Blick's Art Room Aid website.

This year's "Donation for Imagination" program debuted Nov. 16 at the P.S. ARTS annual "Express Yourself" event in Los Angeles. The celebrity fundraiser featured fun art activities for families and benefitted P.S. ARTS' award-winning programs that help improve the lives of children through arts education in underserved public schools and communities. The Julius Jr. activation featured a paper playhouse that kids assembled and decorated with art supplies donated by Blick. Celebrity parents including Melissa McCarthy, Jason Bateman, Jordana Brewster and Elizabeth Berkley also stopped by the Julius Jr. booth to join in on the artistic fun and show their support for "Donation for Imagination."
