Ensky Paper Brings ‘Pokémon’ Puzzles to North America

Japanese manufacturer, Ensky, has announced the addition of “Pokémon” to its growing list of intellectual properties. Paper theater and puzzle sets of fan-favorite “Pokémon,” such as Pikachu, Mewtwo and Eevee, will initiate the first rollout of products, combining “Pokémon” with the skills of Ensky. Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles America (BNTCA) will be the U.S. and Canadian distributor, introducing these crafted paper products to North American retailers and consumers. 

Fans will now experience the worldwide phenomenon of these “Pokémon” in new ways: Ensky puzzles of various styles and counts and complex paper theaters that highlight each Pokémon’s unique characteristics. An array of products will be available for purchase beginning this fall.
