Swedish games company Star Stable Entertainment has signed a Global toy line deal with leading consumer products company Just Play for its phenomenally successful gaming brand, Star Stable Online, via Finnish and Canada based licensing and animation studio Ferly.
The first toy line will hit the markets in 2023. The deal will see the partners develop a collectable range of dolls and horses based on some of the most beloved and iconic Star Stable characters from the game. It will also feature other must-have items for the dedicated Global fandom and for horse and animal lovers. Staying true to Star Stable’s commitment to putting its community first, there are also plans to gather input from its global fanbase during the product development process.
Inspired by the storylines from the game, the merchandise gives players the chance to enjoy their favourite characters in both the physical and digital world. The news follows the successful mobile launch of Star Stable Online in February 2022, which is now available globally for iOS users via the App Store.
“The Star Stable brand has so many hugely dedicated fans all over the world. We are so happy to be developing this toy line with Just Play so that we can keep sharing the values of Star Stable with them in different ways.
