As Space Jam: A New Legacy is nearing its release in theaters and HBO Max on July 16, Moose Toys and Warner Bros. have announced they’re teaming up on a line of all-star toys and collectibles to celebrate the film. According to a release (via PR Newswire), these toys will first be available sometime in April, and they’ll run the gamut from action figures, playsets, plush characters, and more.
“To put our excitement about this partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products into basketball terms, it’s like shooting a nothing-but-net-three-point-buzzer-beater to win the game,” said Ronnie Frankowski, chief marketing officer Moose Toys. “Working closely with Warner Bros., every attention to detail was paid to make sure our toys bring that big screen action into the hands of the fans. Our toys deliver awesome replicas of the stars of the movie, along with fresh new ways to play. We cannot wait for fans to bring their favorite characters home.”
The range of toys includes the first ever action figure that really jumps, dunks and hangs-on-the-rim, just like LeBron James’s character in the film, which will go for an MSRP of $20. There will actually be at least two LeBron action figures at that price–one in his all-star civilian jersey, and another Ultimate Tune Squad one, complete “with four accessories and speaks more than eight ready-for-battle phrases and sounds,” although it’ll hard to be imagine any of the accessories tops the included jetpack. A full list of toys will be announced closer to launch.
Space Jam: A New Legacy is written by Juel Taylor, Tony Rettenmaier, Keenan Coogler, and Terence Nance. The director of Black Panther, Ryan Coogler, is co-producing alongside James, Maverick Carter, and Duncan Henderson.
