NORWOOD, Mass., Feb. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Boss Fight Studio, creator of fan favorite action figures, announced today they acquired the license to make La Borinqueña action figures. The deal, brokered by Fan Girl Consulting, is the latest addition to a diverse array of iconic brands.
Boss Fight Studio is known for their highly articulated action figures, as well as for bringing diversity into the action figure space. “From the moment we read the La Borinqueña comic books, we were taken by the female power, the diversity, and the wonderful storytelling - it seemed like such a natural fit for us. Being able to translate these super powerful characters into articulated figures is a dream,” says Erik Arana, Partner and Art Director at Boss Fight Studio.
“La Borinqueña and my other characters are celebrated by fans internationally for our stories, activism, and philanthropy that, I wanted to find a partner that would help bring them to life in incredibly designed action figures,” says Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez, creator of La Borinqueña. “Boss Fight Studio was the ideal partner with their innovative approach to articulated figures. The designs look like they jumped off the page of our comics and came to life. Collectors and children will rejoice in creating their own adventures with this new line whether they’re in Puerto Rico or Brooklyn, NY!”
Kicking off with 1:12 scale figures, the characters initially announced include La Borinqueña, Luz, Oro El Coqui Dorado, and La Gargola.
