Super Heroes can be cuddly, too—and the company with the super-powers to make them so is Bleacher Creatures. The innovative Pennsylvania-based licensing manufacturer, whose incredibly true-to-life plush figures of pro-sports stars has won them official partnerships with the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB, will launch a brand-new line of DC Comics plush figures on October 1 under license with Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP) and DC Entertainment, representing the greatest Super Heroes (and Super-Villains!) in the galaxy.

Bleacher Creatures’ DC Comics roster includes Superman from Man of Steel as well as the Batman Classic TV Series, featuring Batman from the 1960s TV show and his fellow crime-fighters Robin and Batgirl, as well as his nemeses Catwoman and The Joker. Bleacher Creatures’ DC Comics comic-book plush will feature Super-Villainess Harley Quinn, the Teen Titans, and the Green Lantern Corps.

Other DC Comics–inspired entities to be represented in future Bleacher Creatures line-ups include Richard Donner’s Superman, and theatrical releases Green Lantern and The Dark Knight Trilogy.

Consumer Products and DC Entertainment to create these very special Bleacher Creatures plush figures,” says Matthew Hoffman, founder and president of Bleacher Creatures. “As the father of young kids who love Super Heroes—heck, as a kid myself when it comes to Batman and Superman—this is pretty much a dream come true. Our goal is for the plush figures to inspire both a sense of awe and a sense of play.”

“Bleacher Creatures is renowned for their fun, quality character plush, making them a great choice to bring the characters of the DC Comics universe to life with their unique product assortment,” says Karen McTier, executive vice president, Domestic Sales and Worldwide Marketing, WBCP.
