The range will be available in record retail chains across the UK, including HMV, Virgin and MVC, as well as in Envy, Urban Outfitters and online through Play.com and Truffleshuffle.co.uk.

PMS International has also been granted the rights to produce DangerMouse plush and keyrings for distribution in amusement sectors.
"The response we've had from both licensees and retailers alike clearly illustrates the ongoing strength and interest in the brand and we look forward to ensuring DangerMouse stays at the forefront of consumers' minds, where he belongs," said Dominic Burns. FremantleMedia senior VP of licensing.
