Abby Hatcher, Fuzzly Catcher, Spin Master's newest animated preschool series debut on Nickelodeon in January 2019 in the United States. To date, Spin Master Entertainment has developed six television series with over 400 cumulative episodes. Under Harary's leadership, Spin Master Entertainment launched with Bakugan Battle Brawlers the animated action adventure television series under the direction of Mitsuo Hashimoto. Bakugan reached almost $1 billion in yearly sales. In 2008, Spin Master launched the Bakugan Battle Brawlers franchise, a card game developed in conjunction with Sega Toys, featured plastic balls which burst open to reveal anime-style characters. Over the next handful of years, Spin Master opened offices in the United States, Japan and Western Europe. In 2003, the company made its first corporate acquisition buying Bounce ‘Round, a company that created scaled down versions of the inflatable bouncy castles. The company scored another success in 1999, with Flix Trix Finger Bikes, a string of 1/2 inch replicas of BMX bikes. The company, which had grown to 28 employees by 1999, told the LA Times they were already “assessing 1,000 inventions a year.” They’d moved their manufacturing supply chain to Hong Kong in 1998 and were ready to rise as a new name in the toy industry. The Sky Shark put Spin Master on the map, becoming one of the most popular toys in the world and earning them a slot on daytime television Regis and Kathie Lee alongside other international press. Product development took over two years and more than $500,000, but ended up generating $103 million in revenue over the next few years. Developed from the prototype provided by inventors John Dixon and Peter Manning, the Sky Shark was a foam plane that used compressed air to enable outdoor flight. Spin Master's first major success came in 1998 with the launch of the Air Hogs brand, and its first item, the Sky Shark. The Earth Buddy went on to sell over 26,000 units. The company's first product, Earth Buddies, was a small head made out of Kmart pantyhoses and grass seeds, which grew "hair" when watered. Three college friends from the Ivey Business School at the University of Western Ontario, Ronnen Harary, Anton Rabie and Ben Varadi, founded Spin Master with $10,000 in Toronto in 1994.
