Lisle Licensing takes the Tetris brand forward in 2021
The video game property Tetris and their UK-based licensing agent Lisle Licensing have launched a slate of new deals, including one for a hilarious new Tetris waffle maker from Fizz Creations.

“We’re all about fun and novelty at Fizz Creations, so are excited to partner with Tetris to launch the waffle maker,” said Zoe Ryan, Marketing Manager at Fizz Creations. ” added Tetrimino shaped waffles … what’s not to love!”
Lisle Licensing says they’ve kicked off 2021 with a number of new partners and product launches, demonstrating continued enthusiasm for a brand which is nearing 40 years of global consumer success and an ever-expanding fan base that “focuses quite simply on the idea ‘we all fit together’.”
The first launch of 2021 sparked the new year resolutions off with a strong capsule collection of athleisure apparel with tikiboo.co.uk.
Trademark Products has been signed to develop an apparel daywear range that will launch at retail for the fall and early winter of 2021. In line with the brand’s bold colours, Trademark Products will focus on soft lines which appeal to the Tetris fanbase who want to embrace their support for the brand beyond traditional gameplay.
In addition to its waffle maker, Fizz Creations will launch an entire Tetris AW 21 giftware range that fans can surround themselves with on a daily basis.
