POWAY, Calif., March 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Disguise, Inc., the top licensed costume manufacturer and global costume division of leading toy and consumer products company JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAKK), today announced a multi-year renewal of its global licensing agreement for Minecraft costumes and costume accessories. The extension reinforces the company’s long-standing partnership with one of the most influential gaming brands in the world and solidifies Minecraft’s position as a top-performing license within Disguise’s portfolio.
Minecraft continues to be a powerhouse for Disguise, delivering exceptional growth in 2025 following the successful release of A Minecraft Movie in April. The film’s global impact fueled heightened fan engagement and demand for authentic character costumes, further elevating the brand across retail channels worldwide.
Tara Cortner, President and GM of Disguise, said, “Minecraft continues to be a cornerstone of our overall success. Our long-term partnership with Minecraft has allowed us to bring its world to life through costumes that resonate with fans of all ages. The excitement around A Minecraft Movie last year took that connection to an entirely new level and we look forward to several more years of delivering high quality costumes to support this amazing brand as well as a new movie to come in 2027.”
The momentum behind the franchise is expected to continue rising. Earlier this year, the official A Minecraft Movie Instagram account confirmed that a second film is currently in development and slated for release in 2027, signaling sustained demand and long-term opportunities for franchise expansion. With the renewed agreement, Disguise will continue to design, develop, and distribute innovative Minecraft costumes and accessories globally, delivering products that capture the creativity, adventure, and imagination that define the beloved franchise.
