Playmates Toys is teaming up with New York Times bestselling author Matt Dinniman to create a line of collectibles inspired by the hit book series Dungeon Crawler Carl.
Originally self-published, Dungeon Crawler Carl has sold more than four million copies. The series is a science fiction fantasy series about a post-apocalyptic world turned into an intergalactic game show where players are forced to crawl through dungeons to entertain alien fans.
“We couldn’t be more excited to take a deep dive into the fantastically dystopian and wildly weird Dungeon Crawler Carl universe,” says Pat Linden, Vice President of Marketing for Playmates Toys. “The range of characters and the care that Matt has taken to bring them to life is a collectible company’s dream. Carl and Princess Donut’s journey through progressively more perilous levels of the dungeon world makes for compelling reading/listening and will inspire collectibles that capture the adventure, horror, humor, and wackiness of this unique story. As the master toy licensee for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, we know offbeat, weird, and wonderful, and Dungeon Crawler Carl ticks all these boxes.”
Playmates Toys is also behind toy collections featuring other science fiction and fantasy brands, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Winx Club, and more.
“Playmates’ reputation and experience in the action and collectible figure space is bar none,” Dinniman says. “Our team is excited to work with Playmates to bring Carl, Princess Donut, Mordecai, Mongo, and all the other Dungeon Crawler Carl characters to life.”
The Dungeon Crawler Carl collectibles launch next year.
