Jazwares has announced a new construction toy brand, BLDR, which will be available at retail this month. Featuring an assortment of world-famous brands, immersive playsets and highly articulated buildable action figures, BLDR offers a fun new way for kids and collectors to creatively imagine, build and play within the vast BLDR constructable system. 

Designed with kids ages 8 and up (and collectors) in mind, initial BLDR offerings will include playsets and minifigures inspired by global brands, including Squishmallows, Hello Kitty and Friends and Adopt Me! For anime connoisseurs, BLDR will launch with a curated collection of highly-detailed, 300-piece buildable action figure sets in a fully articulated 9-inch scale inspired by characters from Crunchyroll anime series, "Chainsaw Man" and "Jujutsu Kaisen," which are streaming now on the global anime brand, Crunchyroll.  

Squishmallows playsets feature a SquishBrik for a squishable belly; Hello Kitty and Friends playsets include double-sided play for even more playability after the build;  Crunchyroll builds redefine constructible action figures utilizing new QuikBrik design, allowing a stronger build with an unrivaled level of customization for a 9-inch figure and Adopt Me! playsets recreate the pets with articulated features, locations, strollers and beds to expand and build the world.
