SUNRISE, Fla. and NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2015 — (PRNewswire) — What makes a YouTube star famous? GenZ kids say "real is the new cool." Jazwares' Tube Heroes https://tubeheroes.com/ announces the special guest appearance of the British YouTube star Ali-A and the unveiling of his collectible toy figure. YouTube gaming fans are invited to this 'real is the new cool' event and to meet one of the most famous Tube Heroes, Ali-A, at New York Comic Con, October 8-10, booth 556.

"Gen Z kids identify with Ali-A and other YouTube stars because of their authenticity.  Kids embrace the fact that even though these influencers may have an alter ego within a story, they also are real people just like them," said Judd Zebersky, CEO of Jazwares - a leading manufacturer of toy and entertainment innovation.

Born in 1993, Ali-A started posting Call of Duty videos for fun over six years ago and today he is the recipient of two Guinness World Records as the most subscribed and viewed Call of Duty YouTube Channel in the world. Formerly named Matroix, Ali-A boasts more than 8 million subscribers to his two YouTube channels where he offers fans engaging gaming content and commentary. Ali-A is legendary with six-to-nine-year-old Gen Z kids for his daring and tactical escapes in the gaming world.

For three days, YouTube gaming fans have the opportunity to meet, engage and take pictures with Ali-A and get the first look at his lineup of action figure toys. Exclusive Ali-A merchandise and giveaway items will also be available at the meet-and-greet; available only at New York Comic Con, this merchandise can't be found in stores.
