Mind Candy, the global developer and publisher of the popular children's
online game Moshi Monsters, which has 24 million players worldwide
(http://www.moshimonsters.com), today announced the forthcoming launch of
Moshi Bandz, a new range of collectible wristbands for kids.
The fun and brightly-coloured wristbands take the form of popular Moshi
Monsters characters and are tipped to be one of the hottest children's
crazes of the autumn. They come in varying shapes and colours, with some much
rarer than others to increase their collectability. Following the huge
success of the category in the US, Mind Candy is rolling out a high-profile
media campaign of TV advertising, print and online marketing, as well as mass
sampling as they gear up for launch in the coming weeks.
Michael Acton Smith, CEO, at Mind Candy commented: "Moshi Bandz are a
great way for fans to take their favorite monsters with them wherever they go
and share the characters with friends and family. This is a really exciting
development for us as we bring the virtual world alive with a range of
physical products."
Moshi Bandz are due to launch in October across major retailers and
newsagents with Firebox.com set to launch pre-order in the coming days. They
are priced at £1.49 for a pack of 10 wristbands with hundreds to collect in
the first series. For more information on Moshi Bandz or retailer enquiries
