Mattel takes the cover of our June issue, sharing a look at the new look and refreshed packaging for its hugely popular Monster High brand. June means Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, so we take a look at what kids’ and character licenses exhibitors have line-up for the show. We also shine a spotlight on up and coming superstar license Zou, and talk to Those Licensing People, the experts behind the property’s consumer products programme.
