Dynamite Entertainment has announced a new licensing partnership with Full Moon Features to produce collectibles and other projects featuring their legendary “Puppet Master” series of films to celebrate the franchise’s 35th anniversary.
As part of the announcement, Dynamite has announced a set of trading cards celebrating the “Puppet Master” franchise’s dozen-plus film history. Fans can expect further information on this project and the possibility of others in this collaboration soon.
“‘Puppet Master’ is one of the most unique and classic franchises in horror,” said Nick Barruccci, Dynamite CEO and Publisher. “We’re excited to connect with the diehard fans of the films and deliver something truly special for their collections.”
“The ‘Puppet Master’ series might just be the most important franchise in our vast Full Moon film universe,” said Charles Band, CEO and Founder of Full Moon. “So, it is extremely important to us that our brand be forever in good hands. The Dynamite team have surpassed all of our expectations, creating a collection of cards that exemplify the magic, mystery and visual grandeur of Puppet Master and the iconic characters within. We couldn’t be more pleased with this partnership.”
The “Puppet Master” series started in 1989 with its eponymous first entry. Anthropomorphic puppets animated by an ancient Egyptian spell wreak havoc, equipped with dangerous devices and weapons, and out to threaten people or even fight against other puppets. The film is considered one of the key cult hits of the home video and rental era of horror. Its massive success and following led to 10 sequels, a reboot, spinoffs, and crossovers.
