✖ The Nacelle Company, the studio by The Toys That Made Us and A Toy Store Near You, is getting into the toy business. The company tells ComicBook.com that it is launching a new toy division aimed at preserving nostalgic franchises for new generations to discover. The company has acquired IPs including The Great Garloo, Power Lords, Robo Force, and others. It will begin producing and selling products based on those properties, including soft goods, collectibles, books, physical media, and more.
In 2022, The Nacelle Company is introducing its first wave of action figures based on its upcoming Robo Force toy line. They include Wrecker, Hun-Dred, and Maxx Steele. The company partnered with Funko to release a Great Garloo Funko Pop limited to 1000 pieces as an Emerald City Comic Con exclusive. The Nacelle Company is also partnering with Super7 to expand The Great Garloo's ReAction figure line.
Additionally, The Nacelle Company announced in 2021 that it has partnered with Super7 to revive the 1980s animated franchise Silverhawks as a television series. The Nacelle Company's toy slate can be found at the Nacelle Store. "A lot of what we do at Nacelle is pop-culture and toy-centric, so it seemed like a leap into the toy developing and manufacturing industry was an obvious opportunity we wanted to explore and that we believe we can have fun in," said Nacelle Company CEO Brian Volk-Weiss.
