3D characters CRACK & BONKY continue to win over the Latin American market with a roster of newly added licensees. Among those signing on are Doobalo S.A/ de C.V. (socks); PIC S.A. de C.V. (sleepwear, underwear) and Manny Distribuciones S.A. de C.V. (coin purses, nylon wallets, markers, retractable erasers, pencil sharpeners). They join such top Latin American licensees as Chicabum (cellular content in Mexico and Latin America); Office Max (customized stationery); DTM (toys/figures); Chenson (backpacks and bags); Bondifiesta (bubble gum and confectionery); Majtán (gel stickers, decorations); Bonsa (gifts, office supplies, accessories); PTI/K.com (cellular accessories;) MAE (gift and office supplies); and Editorial Radar (children's magazines).
Originating from Mexico, CRACK & BONKY follows the adventures of two friends from another dimension called Limbo. However, now they are stuck in our dimension and trying to learn from it. They have many adventures in their humorously naïve attempts to mimic human behavior and to understand human emotions.
The property launched through the website www.chikabum.com, and began to gain its popularity through the site's downloadable wallpapers, short animations and ringtones for cell phones.
Said Yasuo Matsuo, CEO of Adness Ent., LLC.: "CRACK & BONKY is fast becoming one of those rare brands that seems to take on a life of its own and expand exponentially in the marketplace. We see this unique property as a huge opportunity for the U.S. and Asia, and we are excited to embark on introducing the brand to licensing partners in these critical markets."
In addition to its ever-growing roster of Latin American licensees, CRACK & BONKY also plans to run weekly comic strips in the Sunday kids section of Mexico's national newspaper REFORMA, commencing Jan. 2008.
