Ik denk dat je nog eventjes geduld moet hebben als het op merchandise aankomt. Zou eigenlijk deze lente uitkomen (2002), maar misschien was er te weinig vraag... Mail Jakks anders ff: da's het bedrijf dat de toys zou uitbrengen...

Ice Age to Have Toy Line
(by digitalmediafx.com) After initial strong reaction to its Ice Age trailer, Fox is moving into high gear to secure licensing and promotion deals for the animated feature that hits theaters on March 15, 2002.
One of Fox's first licensing deals is JAKKS Pacific's Flying Colors division, which will create a full line of toys and merchandise for the digitally animated feature.
Included in the Flying Colors line will be plush toys, action figures, playsets, activity kits, and lunch boxes.
"We're thrilled to have leading entertainment toy licensee JAKKS Pacific on board for Ice Age," said Peter Byrne, Executive Vice President of Fox Licensing & Merchandising. "We have every confidence that this film and its merchandise will be a huge family hit."
The story in Ice Age revolves around three characters: an acerbic woolly mammoth named Manfred (voiced by Ray Romano), an unsocialized giant sloth named Sid (voiced by John Leguizamo), and a scheming saber-toothed tiger named Diego (voiced by Denis Leary). Together, this group of dysfunctional characters takes an unexpected passenger on the biggest commute of all time! Along the way, they become unlikely allies on a perilous quest to return the passenger to its family.
The animation is being done by Blue Sky Studios and Twentieth Century Fox. Fox has a multi-million dollar marketing campaign in the works for the movie.
