The new label - a subsidiary of Arrow Video - aims to recreate the wondrous experience of browsing titles at the local video store, with fabulous new cover artwork, film masters transferred from the best elements available, colorfully-branded OBI-Strips, slip cards, art cards, and extras - and at allowance-friendly prices, so you’ll have bucks left over for snacks!
Toy Robot Video’s Mike Hewitt commented: "We are thrilled to announce the launch of a new home entertainment video label across the US, Canada and the UK. With a resurgent interest in Physical Media, especially amongst younger film fans, Toy Robot Video is intended to be a fun and inclusive label, designed to complement our core Arrow Video brand, spreading the joy of physical media ownership outside of the boundaries of cult fans and cineastes.
“Toy Robot Video will deliver an expansive variety of content, incorporating a range of mainstream titles and genres – with even more comedy and even animation. We couldn't be more pleased with our launch titles, including a 2-disc 4K UHD release of 1987's MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE in the US and Canada, and we are incredibly excited about our forthcoming slate for the remainder of 2026 and beyond."
