Aardman Animations for Shaun the Sheep Arts & Craft toys
Repco Asia (part of the Repco Group of companies) is developing a full range of Shaun the Sheep licensed Arts & Craft products that will be presented to worldwide buyers in Hong Kong during October 2013. Shaun the Sheep is a family favorite, enjoyed across multiple forms of media and recognized the world over for its slapstick humor, distinctive look and strong, quirky characters. Central to Shaun the Sheep is great comedy – targeted at kids and enjoyed by the whole family.
The Shaun the Sheep Arts & Craft products will appeal to children and parents alike and will incorporate the creativity and humor of Shaun and his friends. The line will broaden and complement the wide range of Shaun the Sheep products already available in the market.

Additional products will be introduced throughout 2014, and a big ‘Shaun year’ is expected running up to the worldwide premier of “Shaun the Sheep – the movie” in early 2015”.
