TOMY Unleashes Full Line Of Toys Inspired By Walt Disney Animation Studios' "Zootopia"

Toys Hit Retailers Worldwide This Month; Disney's Zootopia Premieres March 4, 2016

OAK BROOK, Ill., Feb. 12, 2016 — (PRNewswire) —  TOMY International announces the retail arrival of its line of toys inspired by the highly anticipated Walt Disney Animation Studios feature film Zootopia. As a leading global toy manufacturer and distributor, TOMY has translated the world of Zootopia—a mammal metropolis where various animals live and thrive – into a comprehensive line of figures, vehicles, playsets, role-play and plush toys that will appeal to fans of all ages who want to collect the complete character ensemble from the film, debuting theatrically in the U.S. on March 4, 2016. The intricately detailed toys capture character personalities with lights, sounds, and songs and will inspire fans to recreate the fun and adventure of Zootopia.

The city of Zootopia is a mammal metropolis where animals of all sizes work and play together, and TOMY's toy line offers the same broad range of characters, from the largest elephant to the smallest shrew. When Judy Hopps becomes the first rabbit to join the police force, she quickly learns how tough it is to fit in. With Judy's Police Cruiser from TOMY, children can play out their own chase scenes, complete with flashing lights and a unique jail cell that adjusts to fit different animal sizes. When Judy jumps at the opportunity to solve a mysterious case, she ends up working with Nick Wilde, a wily fox who is not really eager to help.  The talking plush from TOMY features Nick's fast-talking phrases and helps bring these scenes to life. 

"We are so excited to create toys celebrating the rich and whimsical characters from Zootopia," states Shehnaz Safiuddin, Senior Vice President of Toy & Hobby at TOMY.  "The toy line is now available at retail locations worldwide, in time for the US movie premiere on March 4th and for Easter gift giving—which couldn't be more ideal with the star rabbit Officer Judy Hopps in the line-up!"

Featured items in TOMY's toy line include:

Core Figure Line:

Zootopia Plush:
Talking Plush with Sounds

Role Play:
Judy's Carrot Recorder and Badge
Judy Hopps always carries two things when she's on the job; her ZPD badge, and her trusty carrot recorder.

In addition to the line hitting retails this month, new items will be available in fall 2016 for the holidays.
