NICKELODEON AND FISHER-PRICE ANNOUNCE BRAND-NEW "BLAZE AND THE MONSTER MACHINES" PRESCHOOL PRODUCT LINE, BASED ON THE HIT TV SERIES

Product Line to Be Unveiled During American International Toy Fair in New York City

NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2015 - Nickelodeon and Fisher-Price, a subsidiary of Mattel Inc., announce today an all-new toy line based on the network's hit preschool series Blaze and the Monster Machines. Debuting at this year's New York Toy Fair, the lineup includes a die cast collection, vehicles, playsets and plush that are as fun and dynamic as the characters and adventures featured in the series. Products will be available at select retailers starting in May with full nationwide rollout in August.

Launched in October of 2014, Blaze and the Monster Machines is consistently the number-one preschool show in its time period on all TV and already is the top preschool series with boys 2-5. It is the first preschool show to comprehensively cover all areas of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) in every episode. Blaze and the Monster Machines follows Blaze and his eight-year-old driver, AJ. Together, Blaze and AJ have adventures that explore the physics of how things move; tackle problems through scientific inquiry and mathematics; and discover the parts needed to make everyday technologies work.

"We are excited to join forces with Fisher-Price on an innovative toy line that captures and conveys the roaring spirit of Blaze and the Monster Machines," said Manuel Torres, Senior Vice President, Global Toys and Publishing, Nickelodeon Consumer Products. "The new Blaze line is a great adaptation of the series' action and adventures that inspires kids to reimagine the property in a playful way."

"Bringing the Blaze toy line to life is the result of a fantastic collaboration with Nickelodeon centered on this very toyetic property that introduces STEM principles," said Steve LaBella, Senior Vice President, Fisher-Price Preschool. "We're thrilled to capture the exciting world of Axle City with die cast vehicles and playsets powered by the unique personalities and unstoppable actions of monster stunts and transformations."

Each action-packed episode of Blaze and the Monster Machines is filled with monster trucks, physical humor and upbeat original songs with lyrics that highlight a STEM concept such as adhesion, friction, force, trajectory and magnetism. The series, created by Jeff Borkin (Team Umizoomi head writer) and Ellen Martin (Bubble Guppies supervising producer), airs weekdays at 10:30 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.

Highlights of the 2015 Blaze and the Monster Machines line from Fisher-Price includes:

Create side-by-side races between Blaze and Crusher or customize your set into champion courses of your choice. Two launchers will give the Monster Machines the speed and momentum they need to race around the track and perform spectacular stunts. Launch the trucks up a ramp and into a 360� loop or speed through the ring of fire. The set includes die-cast Blaze and Crusher vehicles but you can add to the adventure with even more of Axle City's heroes!

Rev up this Monster Machine to see Blaze use balance as he performs side-wheelies, back-wheelies and even a 360� spin on his rear tires. Just like this big-wheeled hero does on the television show, Super Stunts Blaze can accelerate into action with Blazing Speed and he will rear back into position before racing off in a Blaze of glory. Blaze's mouth, side flame and boosters light up and come to life with interactive phrases. Blaze asks kids to rev him up for full speed, celebrate with a high tire, and even make a pit stop to get ready for more super stunts! Ages 3+

SRP: $39.99

Available Fall 2015
