RAINBOW BLOG: OCTOBER EVENTS!

As the kids headed back to school last month, our characters headed out for some weekend fun…

Batman set out on a tour of toy stores across the country in celebration of ‘Batman Month’, Mr. Monopoly teamed with Royal Mail Group at Monopoly Lifesized in London to promote the range of commemorative Monopoly stamps which launch on 16^th October, and The Gruffalo also visited JoJo Maman Bebe for the launch of their "The Gruffalo by JoJo" fall 2025 collection, featuring outerwear, accessories, pyjamas and autumn fashion items. 

We also have some exciting new faces joining our licensed character portfolio this month… Bullseye’s Bully, educational YouTube sensation Blippi, and classic favourites Barney and Pingu.
