The line will feature new-look packaging and will include figure packs, vehicles, play sets, talking and feature plush and a Hide-and-Seek Holly doll with magic wand. Character Options is also planning a range of novelty items will reflect popular elements of the show such as a Bum-and-Go Gaston the Ladybird and a flying wand and wings play set.

“We’re excited to be extending our partnership with eOne on Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom. The show’s magical themes offer endless sources for inspiration,” says Jon Diver, joint managing director, Character Group. “It’s our ambition to create a fresh, new toy line that will replicate the success we’ve had with Peppa Pig whilst harnessing the charming qualities that make Ben and Holly’s a unique brand in its own right.”

Character Options joins the brand’s licensing program of 36 partners in the U.K. spanning publishing, apparel, accessories, DVD, live events and digital.
