RCBall

RCBall is a Japanese-American toy line and mass media franchise created by Comet Toys, Bandai, and Spin Master.

Conception
The conception for the toy line and franchise was mainly the Rocket League video game, with Ohara Noriyori and Brooke Gardner presenting the idea together to Comet, Bandai, and Spin Master to try to market a potential toy line for a international audience. The toy line would be manufactured by Bandai and Spin Master, while Comet will be the licensor for the mass media franchise side.

In 2023, Comet Holdings further announced the franchise, with the release for the first wave of toys in late May/early June and the second wave in late July/early August. Then every three months, another wave of toys would be released.

Mass media franchise
Comet Holdings announced the RCBall mass media franchise on the same day, with animation and manga being developed on for a summer 2023 release.
