UK-based manufacturer Primary Leisure will present its rebranded interactive coin-op cartoon booth at IAAPA next week from stand 416.
Named the GigglePOD, specifically for the export market, the pod will launch with characters from US animated television series VeggieTales.
Primary Leisure has teamed up with two "experienced strategic partners" in the US to form a distribution company - Deith Distributing, which is one of the leading import and export distributors of amusement products in the US, and Powerhouse Vending, an operator based in California, which has a major presence in malls and amusement arcades on the west coast.
Having tested the pods with UK content, Primary Leisure has since been able to secure a deal with Big Idea Entertainment to feature VeggieTales inside the pods. VeggieTales has spent four years as the number one rated show on the NBC Saturday morning Qubo kids block. The series has sold 53 million videos, 13 million books and seven million CDs.
