Moose Toys announced on October 15, 2024, a new entertainment development deal with Man of Action Entertainment (MOA), a creative studio known for successful franchises like "Ben 10," "Sonic Prime," "Marvel’s Avengers Assemble," and "Ultimate Spider-Man." Under this agreement, MOA will create an animated series based on Moose Toys' original brand, Heroes of Goo Jit Zu, which features squishy, stretchy, goo-filled action heroes introduced in 2019.
