A Comic-Con Milestone for Toonz and NEW-GEN NANOBOT HEROES™

San Diego Comic-Con 2026 was a landmark moment for NEW-GEN NANOBOT HEROES™, and Team Toonz had every reason to celebrate. 

As co-producer of the upcoming 3D CGI animated series and international distributor, Toonz Media Group proudly joined NEW-GEN Universe, Inc. in unveiling the franchise's first-ever consumer products initiative at one of the world's biggest pop culture events. 

Developed in partnership with Cryptozoic Entertainment, the Convention Exclusive Collector's Trading Card Box made its debut at Comic-Con, marking the evolution of NEW-GEN® from its Marvel-distributed comic book origins into a growing transmedia franchise spanning publishing, animation and consumer products. 

Limited to just 300 collector's boxes worldwide, the Comic-Con exclusive generated excitement among fans and collectors. Each premium box included 13 exclusive trading cards, featuring iconic artwork, limited-edition foil cards and autograph cards signed by NEW-GEN® creator and series director J.D. Matonti, voice actor Molly Fahey or voice actor Tony Oliver. Fans also received a complimentary NEW-GEN® graphic novel featuring a foreword by Mark Hamill. 

Comic-Con visitors also got a first look at the newly created promotional artwork for NEW-GEN NANOBOT HEROES™, showcased through an animated sequence on the official NEW-GEN® website, giving audiences an exciting glimpse into the futuristic world of NEW-GEN. 

For Toonz, the event reflected much more than a successful product launch. It showcased the studio's growing role in building globally recognised entertainment franchises from the ground up—bringing together world-class storytelling, cutting-edge animation and strategic international partnerships. 

NEW-GEN NANOBOT HEROES™ is currently in production as a 13 x 22-minute CGI animated series, created and directed by J.D. Matonti and executive produced by Chris Matonti, Julia Coppola, Brad Heisman and J.D. Matonti. The series boasts an acclaimed writing team, including Brent Friedman (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) and Eugene Son (Avengers Assemble), and an all-star voice cast featuring Finn Wolfhard, Nick Wolfhard, Anya Chalotra, Luke Wilson, Henry Rollins, Taylor Gray, Molly Fahey, Lena Headey and Tony Oliver. 

As international distributor, Toonz will bring the series to audiences across the globe, while Ketchup Entertainment will oversee domestic distribution. 

San Diego Comic-Con 2026 marked an exciting chapter in the NEW-GEN journey—and another proud milestone for Toonz as we continue creating and delivering stories that resonate with audiences around the world.

Football Fever Sweeps Through Toonz

On Friday, July 17, the excitement of the FIFA World Cup took over the Toonz campus as employees swapped their usual office attire for the jerseys of their favourite football teams, bringing a vibrant splash of colour and sporting spirit to the workplace. 

What began as a jersey day soon turned an ordinary Friday into a fun-filled celebration. The office buzzed with conversations about favourite teams, legendary players, unforgettable World Cup moments and match predictions. Friendly rivalries, laughter and a shared love for the beautiful game made for an atmosphere that was as energetic as it was enjoyable. 

The colourful display of jerseys from footballing nations around the world reflected the diversity of fandom within Team Toonz and highlighted how sport has the power to bring people together beyond cultures and borders. 

The celebration was a reminder that some of the best moments at work happen outside of meetings and deadlines. Shared interests, camaraderie and a little healthy competition transformed the day into one to remember. 

As the world celebrated football, Toonzians joined in the spirit, proving once again that whether it's creating great stories or cheering for a favourite team, passion is always better when it's shared.
