SUPER HEROES GET SMALL (AND CUTE), AS BLEACHER CREATURES DRAMATICALLY EXPANDS

ITS LINE OF DC COMICS PLUSH FIGURES

Following the Success of 10-Inch-Tall Batman Classic TV Series and Man of Steel Bleacher Creatures,

Company Releases New DC Comics–Inspired Plush in 2015

Figures Encompass DC Entertainment Comic Book, Film, and TV Characters, Including Batman Plush Inspired by the 1989 Batman theatrical film and The Dark Knight Trilogy

A new cast of DC Comics Super Heroes and Super-Villains is storming the universe—and now they’re 10 inches tall and irresistibly cuddly.

Bleacher Creatures—the innovative licensing manufacturer whose incredibly true-to-life plush figures represent the greatest sports, entertainment and inspirational icons in the world—will introduce a dramatically expanded line of plush figures inspired by DC Comics characters via its license with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Entertainment. The new characters follow on the tremendous popular success of Bleacher Creatures’ Batman Classic TV Series and Man of Steel lines released last fall.

The 2015 line of Bleacher Creatures’ DC Comics plush will be released in three waves from May through August, and include figures based on DC Entertainment comic books, films, and television characters. In addition to such outsize characters as Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern, the line will feature a variety of Batman plush inspired by the 1989 Batman theatrical film and The Dark Knight Trilogy.

“We’re thrilled that our initial line with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment proved so popular that now we’re expanding to include some of the greatest DC Comics characters of all time,” says Matthew Hoffman, founder and president of Bleacher Creatures. “Men, women, kids, and kids at heart will all find heroes (and villains!) who are every bit as inspiring in 10-inch-tall plush form as their counterparts in comic books, films, and TV…but who are, dare I say it, a lot cuter.”
