Top Of The Shops! Leading Collectible Brand Shopkins Reveals Impressive New Figures

Bulldog Licensing – agent for smash-hit Moose Enterprises property Shopkins – has revealed the collectible brand is now a top 3 licensed brand across multiple categories.

Shopkins is the No. 1 brand in both the stationery and lunchware and lighting categories, as well as no. 2 in baked goods, no. 3 in trading cards and stickers and no. 3 in primary-age girls’ magazines.

There are plenty more stats that reveal the enormous appeal of this huge brand:

According to NPD figures, the Shopkins franchise is on fire! Shopkins is the No. 1 girls’ brand in the toy market – £16.2 million above its nearest rival – and is growing fast. Shoppies Dolls is the No. 1 Fashion Doll in the market by value (with an increase of over 25% vs the same time in 2016), whilst the Shopkins sub-brand – Happy Places – is bigger than any other non-Shopkins collectible on the market

Shopkins continues the stronghold in the digital space with the Shopkins app tipping over 20 million downloads internationally. Shopkins webisodes are released biweekly and now feature the Shoppies. The Shoppies have now released 4 chart topping hits that have accumulated over 11 million views across Youtube.

Shopkins has been recognised at this year’s LIMA International Licensing Awards, with nominations in four categories including: Character / Toy Brand, Food / Beverage for Finsbury Foods’ Shopkins Cupcake Queen Cake, Toys / Games / Novelties / Role-play for The Bridge Direct’s C3 Shopkins Kinstructions, and Home Décor for Jay Franco & Sons,LLC Shopkins Elevated Bedding Collection.

“The figures surrounding Shopkins are just incredible,” comments Bulldog Licensing Director Vicky Hill. “Kids just can’t get enough of the brand and it represents an absolutely amazing licensing opportunity, particularly with Moose providing fantastic support through regular style guides, product updates and marketing, as well as significantly growing the entertainment platform supporting the brand.”
