Currently in production, Rusty Rivets season two promises to be bigger and better than the first season, with lots of stuff for kids to look forward to! Season two of Rusty Rivets will be very heavily based on different characters, such as the Elephantbot, Gorillabot and Tigerbot.
During Spin Master's 2016 Q4 Financial Results Conference Call, Ronnen Harary, the Co-Chief Executive Officer of Spin Master Corp., also revealed that, although Rusty Rivets is a hit with kids, the show is doing even better with boys than girls:
"Brian Morrison (TD Securities - Analyst): [...] there was a comment with the initial reception to Rusty Rivets was strong. What does that mean? How do you measure that? And then just in terms of the pipeline, can you talk about your timing with new properties, such as Bakugan?"
"Ronnen Harary: Yeah. It was great. I love getting one question a session. No, the comment about Rusty Rivets, I mean we go straight to the ratings and Nickelodeon shares with us weekly how the product and how the show is rating. And that’s what we’re looking for.
It’s doing very well overall with kids, and it’s doing even better with boys. It’s skewing more boy than girl. And we look at things like how it does after the lead-in show and the lead-out show. So we’re looking at those types of metrics.
And Nickelodeon has commissioned a season two, so we’re in production of season two, which we’re really excited about. So that’s a good indicator to us that there’s strong commitment to Rusty Rivets and building Rusty Rivets. There’s strong demand from a retaile perspective in terms of support.
So we look to both retail and to ratings and to Nickelodeon for their commitment to producing a second season. And we’re very excited about the second season. It’s going to be even better than season one. I’m personally working on it with the team, and it’s very heavily based on different characters. There’s a lot of—there’s Elephantbot and Gorillabot and Tigerbot; lots of stuff for kids to look forward to.
And the amazing thing about Rusty Rivets is that it truly is the construction—I wouldn’t say construction system. We call it the rustification system that we’ve built. It’s one point. It’s one actual insert that kids can actually put in to create different—basically to rustify their characters. And so it’s really creative. It’s really easy. I like it because I wasn’t a LEGO kid. I couldn’t put together LEGO. So it’s really nice and simple. And I think it really opens up imagination for kids."
Additionally, Ben Gadbois, Global President and Chief Operating Officer, Spin Master Corp., announced the further exciting news that Spin Master will launch a Rusty Rivets toy line on a limited basis late in 2017, followed by a full global toy launch in 2018!
