TORONTO, ON - Hoobledoop! Hoobledoop! Whoop! Whoop! Whoop! Spin Master Toys has hoobledoobledooper news. The Toronto based toy maker has been awarded the Master Toy License by Venture Licensing of Canada and The Jim Henson Company to produce toys for the fun-filled, multi-faceted preschool children's television show Jim Henson's The Hoobs™. The agreement provides Spin Master the licensing rights to produce toys based on the five main characters: Iver,  Tula, Groove, Roma and Hubba Bubba.


Jim Henson's The Hoobs™ is a hoobacious, innovative program reaching the first multi-media generation through TV and the Internet with a delightful mix of puppetry, animation, and live-action. Following a fantabihooby launch on UK's Channel 4 in January, 2001, Jim Henson's The Hoobs™ continues to entertain and educate pre-school audiences with topics such as communication, relationships, music, dance, and art on Canadian airwaves on TVOntario, seven days per week.

"Hoob-Hoob-Hurray for this show," says Adam Beder, Licensing Director at Spin Master Toys. "The Spin Master Team was immediately drawn to the show's strong educational focus, richly creative characters and colourful presentation."

Spin Master develops, manufactures, markets and distributes its own toy products around the world. Diligent Product Development and Powerhouse Marketing Strategies have created a worldwide reputation for Great Products. Highly recognized for its Creative Vision, Spin Master is one of the fastest growing toy companies in the world.
