TTB Marketplace Signs Debut Apparel Licensing Agreement With Nickelodeon

In addition to offering a wider variety of characters than the mainstream retail stores make available, TTB Marketplace e-tail partners TysToyBox.com and AllAboardToys.com will be able to offer personalization options for consumers seeking Nickelodeon apparel via their online stores. The multi-year agreement between TTB Marketplace and Nickelodeon covers apparel and sportswear licenses only, extending across all of Nickelodeon's current brands including: Blue's Clues; Dora the Explorer; Go!, Diego, Go; Avatar the Last Airbender; The Backyardigans; SpongeBob SquarePants; The Wonderpets!; and Ni-hao, Kai Lan.

"We are very excited to be the sole online-only destination for the full breadth of Nickelodeon characters," said Ty Simpson, CEO of TTB Marketplace. "Some characters don't get as much attention in merchandise, and we can now supply apparel for Boots as well as Dora, Mr. Salt from Blue's Clues, and SpongeBob's pals Sandy or Gary through our agreement with Nickelodeon. Character enthusiasts will be able to find apparel items that big-box retailers can't offer, and they'll even be able to personalize many pieces to truly claim these characters as their own."

"Nickelodeon's characters are beloved, and the demand is growing for apparel options beyond the main stars of each show," said Hal Snik, senior vice president of domestic licensing for Nickelodeon. "The TTB Marketplace platform is well suited to support Nickelodeon's whole family of characters, allowing us to better meet the demands of Nickelodeon character fans who can't always find their favorites on traditional store shelves."

The newly expanded Nickelodeon apparel and sportswear options will become available via TysToyBox.com and AllAboardToys.com beginning in July.

Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
