Poochie And Pals

"Poochie and Pals" is an upcoming collaboration franchise with efforts by companies Mattel, Festa Toys, and more. The franchise was first introduced to the public on July 17, 2016. Its gang of poodles consists of the titular Poochie from Mattel, Sequin of Barbie, also from Mattel, Lady Gigi of Vip Pets from Festa Toys, Pafu of the anime Go! Princess Pretty Cure, and Mandy of Puppy Surprise. The quintet will each be featured in a lot of merchandise as time will flow and will be split into different generations.

Generations
Generation 1 (2016-2029)

Generation 2 (2029-TBA)

Animated Series
An animated series was already considered before the franchise even started. It's expected to premiere in mid-2017. It's animated by Toei Animation, so it's an anime. The series has a retro feel to it, specifically having nods to the 70s to the 80s pop culture littered throughout. The city the quintet live in is even named OldSchool City.
