NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global toy manufacturer Maison Battat Inc. announces an exclusive global distribution partnership with ToyCity, bringing collectible sensations Mr. Pa, Laura (Laura Girl), and Monboo to audiences across North America, making these beloved characters accessible to the mass market for the first time, starting with launches at Target.
Blind-box collectibles have emerged as one of the fastest-growing toy trends worldwide, fueled by surprise, storytelling, and unique designs such as the recent trend of vinyl-face plush figures.

Maison Battat is proud to bring these sought-after collectibles, in all their distinctive designs, to the U.S. mass market, providing consumers with an accessible entry point into the trend through approachable price points and wide retail availability.
"We're thrilled to bring the characters Laura, Mr.Pa and Monboo to North America and dive headfirst into the exciting world of collectibles," said Dany Battat, CEO of Maison Battat Inc. "Collecting is about joy, surprise, and connection and we are happy to introduce fresh, fun and expressive characters that invite fans to collect, connect, and celebrate!"
The initial assortment will debut at Target in early 2026, with additional series to follow, offering collectors new designs to discover over time.
