SUNRIGHTS INC.<br />
Sunrights Inc. will work with Hasbro<br />
to relaunch the Beyblade franchise. <strong>The</strong><br />
third generation, known as Beyblade Burst,<br />
will feature battle toys with a dynamic<br />
“burst” feature, designed to bring more<br />
excitement to the play pattern. Battling will<br />
trigger the spinning tops to dynamically disassemble,<br />
setting the stage for suspenseful competition.<br />
<strong>The</strong> toys will also include a digital component for<br />
western markets.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Beyblade Burst animated TV series, currently<br />
in production in Japan, will follow a new<br />
cast of characters, storylines, and battle drama.<br />
Sunrights, the fast growing entertainment arm<br />
of Japanese production company d-rights Inc., will handle the distribution of broadcast,<br />
merchandising, and promotional rights for Beyblade Burst in western markets,<br />
outside of Hasbro’s toy rights.<br />
