MILWAUKEE, Feb. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- BrickStix® LLC, the company that transformed
plastic connecting bricks with removable and reusable decorative
decals, today announced its new multi-year licensing partnership
with Nickelodeon™ to produce Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles® and SpongeBob SquarePants®
reusable stickers for construction toys.
BrickStix, the brainchild of then nine-year-old Greyson MacLean, sells its patented reusable
stickers for plastic construction bricks around the world. Now U.S.
customers can expand their construction brick builds with sets from
these two popular Nickelodeon franchises.
Toy insiders will get a preview of the new Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles and SpongeBob SquarePants
BrickStix reusable sticker lines at the American
International Toy Fair in New York
City (Booth #6033), held at the Jacob K. Javits Center
from February 13-16, 2016. The
public can get its first peek at the new BrickStix Nickelodeon sets
at Play Fair (Booth #124), also held at the Javits Center
from February 13-14, 2016.
"Partnering with Nickelodeon is a dream come true. I can't wait
for kids to see what we have created and have the chance to use
their imagination to tell their own SpongeBob SquarePants
and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stories," said Greyson MacLean, 16, Inventor and CEO at
BrickStix LLC. "I have a feeling kids and parents will be playing
together. These are shows parents have watched with their kids for
years. Who wouldn't want to make up some adventures of their
own?"
The SpongeBob SquarePants BrickStix reusable stickers
feature two different sets that can be used separately or together
to recreate Bikini Bottom. The Pineapple set brings SpongeBob's
house to life, complete with Jellyfish Fields and Gary, SpongeBob's
pet snail. The Krusty Krab set turns bricks into Krabby
Patty-flipping adventures where consumers can have a cooking
contest, relive their favorite SpongeBob SquarePants episode
and even protect the secret formula from Plankton.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles BrickStix reusable
sticker sets include The Sewer and Good vs. Evil. The Sewer set
replicates the Turtles' lair where the Turtles can train with
Master Splinter, eat pizza with Bishop and April O'Neil, or defend their underground home.
The Good vs. Evil set pairs the Turtles with April O'Neil and Casey
Jones to battle The Kraang, Shredder and Rocksteady.
Nickelodeon branded BrickStix are available now at BrickStix.Com
and will be hitting retailers this Spring.
