The Phillie Phanatic, Clark Cub, and Wally the Green Monster are here, but when will Ribbie and Roobarb get some respect?

FOCO just emerged from the dugout with a new player on its roster of sports collectibles: PZLZ.

The new, 3D puzzle toys from the creators of BRXLZ construction sets allow fans to build miniature re-creations of their favorite team’s logos, mascots, and stadiums. Constructed using lightweight foamboard pieces that securely fit together, each set includes all necessary materials and detailed building instructions.

At launch, the first wave will include a pair of MLB logos —New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers — as well as mascots from the Boston Red Sox, Milwaukee Brewers, Houston Astros, and Chicago Cubs.

“For over three years, we have received overwhelmingly positive feedback regarding our BRXLZ line, but they are a challenge,” says Matthew Katz, licensing manager at FOCO. “The PZLZ line offers a similar experience to the BRXLZ product line, but are easier to construct and less time consuming, making it more accessible to the average fan.”

The launch collection is available now.
