By: via GlobeNewswire

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

MGA Entertainment (MGA), one of the largest privately held toy and entertainment companies in the world, announced today its advance release of 2025 toys, now available on shelves, making last-minute holiday shopping more accessible and exciting to meet the demand.
