McFarlane Toys has been named the master toy licensee for Corpse Bride, auteur Tim Burton's new stop-motion animated film due out this fall.  Burton fans have proven to be heavy spenders on products based on his work, often for years after the movie's release.  Accordingly, Corpse Bride will be McFarlane Toys' largest licensing program ever, and will include a number of product categories new for McFarlane.  Among the products currently planned are action figures, bendables, PVCs, plush, fashion dolls, bobbleheads, candles, mugs, pewter pieces, and ornaments.  Price points will range from $1.99 to $149.99. 

 

The film will star Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham-Carter (the 'corpse bride'), and Emily Watson  as voice actors in the story of a young man who's taken to the underworld to wed a corpse while his real bride waits above.
