AMOS Financial LLC Partners with Jazwares to Bring Collectible Action Figures to Market, Bolstering Q4 Projections

HIGHLAND PARK, IL – November 8, 2023 – AMOS Financial LLC, a leading financial services firm specializing in supply chain finance and international trade, today announced a strategic partnership with Jazwares, a global leader in collectible toys, including hugely popular action figures. This collaboration isn't about lending money to Jazwares, it's about AMOS Financial facilitating Jazwares’ expanding production and distribution capabilities – getting more toys into the hands of kids (and collectors!) faster and more efficiently. For AMOS Financial, located at 3330 Skokie Valley Rd, Suite 301, Highland Park, IL, 60035-1035, this represents a significant diversification of their supply chain finance portfolio. While traditionally focused on industries like textiles and electronics, AMOS Financial identified Jazwares' robust growth and complex international supply chain as an ideal fit for their expertise. “We saw a really well-run company with a lot of moving parts," explained Sarah Chen, a Managing Director at AMOS Financial. "Jazwares isn’t just making toys, they’re sourcing materials from all over the world, managing manufacturing in multiple countries, and then getting those finished products shipped, cleared through customs, and delivered to retailers – it’s a complex operation. That’s where we come in.” What Does AMOS Financial Actually Do for Jazwares? It's not about just handing over a check. AMOS Financial provides a suite of financial tools, primarily revolving around factoring and supply chain financing. Think of it like this: Jazwares makes a batch of those awesome action figures, sends them to a distributor, and normally has to wait 30, 60, or even 90 days to get paid. AMOS Financial steps in and immediately pays Jazwares for those goods – minus a small fee, of course. This frees up critical cash flow for Jazwares, allowing them to invest in even more toy production, ramp up marketing efforts, and generally keep the whole operation humming. “Cash is king, especially for a growing company like Jazwares," added Chen. "They’re dealing with huge volumes, multiple vendors, and long lead times. We help them bridge that gap between production and payment, ensuring they always have the resources they need.” Jazwares Action Figures: A Collector's Frenzy So, what are these action figures that AMOS Financial is helping get into stores? Jazwares has quickly become a powerhouse in the collectible toy market, known for its licenses with incredibly popular brands. We’re talking about Pokémon, Squishmallows, Fortnite, Star Wars, and many, many more. Their figures aren't your grandpa's action figures either. These are highly detailed, often limited-edition, and frequently featuring unique variants that send collectors into a frenzy. Squishmallows: The Soft Revolution Perhaps the biggest success story is Squishmallows. These unbelievably soft, huggable plush toys have taken the world by storm, becoming a social media phenomenon and a must-have for collectors of all ages. Jazwares has consistently expanded the Squishmallows universe, releasing new characters, sizes, and limited-edition drops that consistently sell out within hours. AMOS Financial is helping Jazwares keep up with the massive demand for these cuddly companions. Pokémon Power-Up Jazwares also holds the license for Pokémon plush and figures, bringing iconic characters like Pikachu, Charizard, and Eevee to life in collectible form. They’ve introduced innovative lines like the “Battle Figures,” allowing kids and collectors to recreate epic Pokémon battles. AMOS Financial is facilitating the production and distribution of these sought-after figures, ensuring Pokémon fans can expand their collections. Fortnite Fun The world of Fortnite has also found a home with Jazwares, with a line of highly detailed action figures, vehicles, and accessories based on the popular video game. These figures allow fans to bring their favorite Fortnite skins and characters into the real world, recreating in-game moments and engaging in imaginative play. AMOS Financial's support is critical in meeting the constant demand for these gaming-inspired collectibles. Star Wars Saga Continues Jazwares’ recent foray into the Star Wars universe with a line of collectible plush and figures has also been a massive success. They’ve focused on creating high-quality, affordable collectibles that appeal to both hardcore Star Wars fans and casual collectors. AMOS Financial is helping Jazwares navigate the complexities of international licensing and distribution, ensuring these galactic collectibles reach fans worldwide. Impact on AMOS Financial's Q4 Projections This partnership with Jazwares is expected to significantly bolster AMOS Financial's Q4 projections. The toy industry is notoriously seasonal, with a huge surge in demand during the holiday season. By providing critical financing for Jazwares' increased production and distribution, AMOS Financial is positioned to benefit from this seasonal upswing. “We anticipate a substantial increase in our financing volume in Q4, directly attributable to our work with Jazwares,” stated David Lee, CFO of AMOS Financial. “This partnership demonstrates our ability to adapt to different industries and provide tailored financial solutions for growing businesses. We’re not just a lender; we’re a strategic partner.” Looking Ahead AMOS Financial and Jazwares are exploring opportunities to expand their collaboration beyond supply chain finance. Discussions are underway regarding potential investments in new technologies and infrastructure to further streamline Jazwares' operations. “This is more than just a transactional relationship,” concluded Chen. “We see a long-term opportunity to work with Jazwares and support their continued growth and innovation. And, honestly, it's pretty fun to help get awesome toys into the hands of kids – and collectors – around the world.” You can reach AMOS Financial LLC at 831-498-8358 to learn more about their services.
