The pan-European partnership will see Bandai Europe manufacture capsule toys for sale via vending machines for both properties.

A further contract has been announced with German plush company, Schmidt Spiele. Plush figures of both Pat and Stan will be launched at Nuremberg Toy Fair in February 2010, with products to roll-out at retail shortly after.

The brand new Pat & Stan series (39 x 7-minute) was also recently awarded the Jury's Special Prize for Best TV Series at the Annecy Animation Festival 2009.

The comedy show is produced by French production house, MacGuff and is now fully delivered and lined-up for launch on TV-screens in more than 170 territories this autumn.
