Leslie Levings' "The Beastlies" To Be a Toyline from Mattel & A Film from Bad Robot?
One of my daily online habits is scouring thru movie websites (And actually NOT other toy-news blogsites :p #truth), and this particular find was a surprise and delight! Leslie Levings' "The Beastlies" To Be a toyline from Mattel & a upcoming film from Bad Robot? CONGRATULATIONS!
io9.gizmodo has since reported (courtesy of Deadline) that famed director J.J. Abrams and his "Bad Robot" production company will be teaming up with Mattel for a film adaptation of the yet-to-be-released Beastlies toyline from sculptor Leslie Levings!
"The Beastlies is a passion project we have been working on at Bad Robot for years with the creator of these extraordinary creatures, Leslie Levings. To finally bring The Beastlies to the world, in collaboration with the brilliant minds at Mattel, is an absolute dream." Mentioned J.J. Abrams (quote via Deadline)

"Mattel and Bad Robot have teamed on The Beastlies, the first of several family-friendly world creation original properties. This one was created by Los Angeles-based sculptor Leslie Levings, and the collaboration came after Bad Robot principal J.J. Abrams pitched it to Mattel president/COO Richard Dickson two years ago when they met on the set of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Dickson unveiled The Beastlies in Mattel’s presentation to Wall Street analysts this morning." (quote via Deadline)
