Epic Story Media and its toy division, Epic Story Toys, will present their most ambitious and diverse slate to date at the 2026 Spielwarenmesse Toy Fair in Nuremberg, strengthening their footprint in the global children’s entertainment and consumer products space through new IPs, expanded partnerships and international licensing agreements.

Among the highlights, Epic Story Toys will debut "Silly Crocodile", a new preschool property created by YouTube content creator Cory Williams, whose short-form comedy videos have surpassed one billion views. Inspired by the brand’s fast-paced humor and playful storytelling, Epic has developed a dedicated toy line and will present prototypes exclusively at Nuremberg. The range builds on the IP’s “silly” DNA, featuring magnetic dress-up toys, talk-back plush and collectible items, marking the brand’s first step into consumer products.

The company will also showcase "Vegesaurs", the hit preschool series produced by Cheeky Little and distributed by Studio 100 International. As global master toy partner and North American licensing agent, Epic Story Toys has designed a toy line comprising six SKUs, including plush, collectibles and novelty items. The global rollout will begin in Spring 2026 with Banter Toys in Australia, where the series premiered on ABC, and Talent Show across the Balkan territories. A retail launch is planned for Q3 2026, supported by strong broadcast exposure and upcoming launches on additional platforms such as Spacetoon in the Middle East and Turkey.

Further expanding the "Vegesaurs" brand, Epic will bring the successful immersive experience originally launched in Australia to audiences across North America. In parallel, Freeground, Epic’s Roblox development studio, will introduce the first-ever Vegesaurs Roblox experience, with a beta version set to debut at the Nuremberg Toy Fair.

Epic will also spotlight its own original IP, "Bubble’s Hotel", which is set to launch a toy line in Q3 2026 following the show’s successful premiere on broadcasters including Star Channel in Greece, MBC/Shahid in MENA and Noga in Israel. New licensing agreements have been secured with Partners Plus in Greece, MBC in MENA and BOING S.p.A. in Italy.

Commenting on the momentum behind the new division, Kim Morris, Head of Epic Story Toys, said: “Since launching our new toy division, we’ve received an enthusiastic response from creators, licensors, distributors and retailers. There is a strong interest in working with a new company that truly understands fandom and can deliver products and experiences for the fans who are eager to engage with their favorite IPs in a meaningful way.”
