Press Release
December 4, 2024 – Seattle, WA - Sky Castle Toys, a social media and collectibles toy company, and Jazwares, a leading global toy company, today announced a multi-year partnership that will expand and strengthen the distribution, brand development, and intellectual property management of Sticki Rolls™, the popular trend-setting collection of wearable and sharable sticker bracelets and children’s jewelry line. The partnership positions Sticki Rolls for expanded availability and enhanced consumer engagement across key regions.
Under the terms of the agreement, Jazwares will manage the sales and distribution of Sticki Rolls to mass, club and grocery retailers in the U.S.; mass and specialty retailers in Canada; and across all channels of trade in major European markets including Germany, France, Benelux, Austria, and Switzerland.
“Since its debut this year, Sticki Rolls has become a popular fashion statement blending the appeal of Kawaii-inspired stickers with jewelry, and the fun of wearable art,” said Herb Mitschele, Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Planning at Jazwares. “We look forward to working with the Sky Castle team to broaden the Sticki Rolls brand’s distribution reach and brand appeal,” continued Mitschele.
“Joining forces with Jazwares to supercharge our mass market presence means we can scale the Sticki Rolls brand to reach more retailers and more consumers,” said Josh Loerzel, President of Sky Castle Toys.
Sticki Rolls has captivated tweens and kidults worldwide with its unique combination of fashion jewelry, kawaii-inspired sticker designs, and self-expression. The brand’s social presence has skyrocketed since launching at VidCon in June 2024 amassing nearly 300 million video views on YouTube and growing its social media following to over 400,000 passionate fans. Its humorous story-telling videos featuring cute characters and Kawaii art have become a pop culture favorite.
“Jazwares is an ideal partner for Sticki Rolls, with its proven track record of scaling collectible toy brands and its strong global distribution network,” added Loerzel. “This collaboration is a significant step forward in solidifying Sticki Rolls as a global pop culture phenomenon.”
While relatively new, Sticki Rolls has quickly garnered worldwide recognition and won numerous toy awards including a nomination for The Toy Foundation™ 2025 Collectible of the Year (TOTY®) Award, The Toy Insider’s 20 Under $20 List, Good Housekeeping® 2024 Best Toy Award Winner, Parents “Best Big Kid Toy of 2024,” PAL Award 2024, NAPPA Award 2024, Clamour Influencer’s Choice List and was a People of Play TAGIE Award nominee.
