L.O.L. Surprise!®, the fastest growing collectible doll brand, has captured retail and consumers in German-speaking territories. According to The NPD Group, L.O.L. Surprise!® is the strongest growth driver in the first half of 2018 and is also the top contributor in the Dolls category which is up by 17 percent.* With a remarkable presence through an incredible TV and online marketing campaign, the brand has become ripe for licensing and unboxing Team! Licensing as a new agent comes as no surprise.

Since its release in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, sales of the various L.O.L. Surprise!® Doll Series have been rapidly climbing. Continuously selling out, the brand is ever evolving with new dolls, little siblings and pets and thrilling accessories keeping the young collectors excited. It is the fastest growing collectible doll brand, with extremely successful licensing programs in many territories, recently winning the renowned LIMA award as the top Character/Toy Brand.

With a strong marketing campaign and incredible brand advertising on TV, digital and in print, and with girls craving for the fashionable dolls, the time has come to translate the incredible success of the brand into a tailor-made licensing program in our territories.
