Get Ready for a Whole Bunch of Lone Ranger Tie-Ins

It?s time for kids to play cowboys and indians again.

For ?The Lone Ranger,? Disney Consumer Products has been able to line up a number of licensees to create merchandise tied to the film, that gallops into theaters July 3. Partners include Lego,?NECA, Theodora & Callum, Rotenier and Will Leather Goods who are creating everything from toys, action figures and playsets to high-end accessories and hand-crafted leather goods.?

Typically products tied to summer tentpoles rely heavily on superheroes and transforming robots. But with ?The Lone Ranger,? Disney?s been able to get partners to rally around the iconic image of the masked man as a new kind of superhero for kids, while also making products that tap into the nostalgic factor for adults who were fans of the character during his run on TV.
