Following the immediate success of the show, parents and children were clamoring to get their hands on Chuggington products, which is why we started rolling out product in late 2010. Our consumer products launch is now well underway and there will be even more innovative and interactive products hitting shelves this year, from toys and games to apparel and décor.” - Maureen Taxter, senior vice president of consumer products, Ludorum
