Schleich has exclusive worldwide rights to create a range of three-inch plastic figurines and accompanying play sets, vehicles and accessories through December 2016.

"For 78 years, Schleich has been producing some of the most creative, beautiful, witty, and charming figurines in the world, and we know they will bring their signature touch to the Peanuts characters," says Leigh Anne Brodsky, managing director, Peanuts Worldwide and Iconix Entertainment. "We're delighted to partner with them, and we look forward to creating joyous new play experiences for children and adults thanks to Schleich."

To kick off the new partnership, Schleich will release a special gold-colored Snoopy collectible exclusively for Comic-Con this month.
