I was so excited by finding this gem, I mis-typed. 100,000,000. That's a lot. They own Nerf, Pokemon, Squishmallows, Cabbage Patch, Cocomelon, and a lot of action figure brands. And they have an office in Bentonville I noticed. My wife is a TK / K (kindergarten) teacher and she says the 4 and 5 year olds are all over this stuff. Grandson has all kinds of Nerf stuff. Yea... I may go buy myself a new Nerf basketball set for my office, went through a few of those as a kid.
Jazwares is such a cool, unheralded part of the Alleghany acquisition. I’m really excited to see how the company capitalizes on all of its current success.
Great notes, as always! Thoroughly enjoy reading it every week, especially the smaller stories that usually go unnoticed -such as the article on squishmallow
Jazwares and Squishmallows, I had no idea. 100,000 units at $5 to $30 means a good billion in revenue, crazy.

The museum of cool, not so little businesses expands. Kind of like some of the stuff buried within Marmon. Keep up the great work.
