BTS fashion dolls launched by Mattel

Toy retailer Mattel has announced a comprehensive, worldwide licensing agreement with popular South Korean boy band BTS.

The creative collaboration will debut the first-ever line of BTS fashion dolls this summer.

Under a multi-category license with BTS under its label, Big Hit Entertainment, Mattel will create dolls, collectible figures, games, and more. The collaboration will launch with a toy line created to resemble the band’s seven members – RM, Jin, Suga, J-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook – styled after their looks from the YouTube record-breaking “Idol” music video.

“BTS is a pop-culture music phenomenon that transcends age, culture and language, and through this partnership, Mattel will offer a new way for millions across the world to engage with the band,” said Mattel’s SVP & global brand GM Sejal Shah Miller.

“Partnering with established franchises that have global appeal is a cornerstone of our strategy and given our creative expertise, we are perfectly suited to create products celebrating BTS”.

The BTS fashion dolls were unveiled at this week’s Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair.
