Snoopy & The Gang Debut on Sakar's New Peanuts® Electronics, Accessories & Musical Instruments
Camelio Kits, Mobile & Audio Accessories, Consumer Electronics & More to Feature Both Classic & Updated Styling Themed After the Upcoming 3D Movie
NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TOY FAIR, NEW YORK -- Just ahead of their upcoming 3D animated feature film, beloved Peanuts® characters Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock and more will debut on a new line of youth electronics, audio and mobile accessories and musical instruments by global youth electronics leader Sakar International. Sakar announced the new Peanuts licensing deal with PEANUTS Worldwide today at the 2015 Toy Fair New York, going on now at the Javits Convention Center.

These new products are designed to appeal to both kids who are just discovering Charlie Brown and the gang for the first time, and to adults who have become lifelong fans."
