Conceptcard, a Denmark-based game publisher, has recently announced an international licensing agreement with The Bella Sara Company, LLC. The rights to the Bella Sara brand have shifted from Hidden City Entertainment to the newly created The Bella Sara Company, headed by George Stetar, former senior vice president of international business and licensing of Hidden City Entertainment. Stetar will now serve as global rights manager at the new company.

Hidden City Entertainment, Inc., the rights holder of Bella Sara, introduces Bella Sara Chibis (Chee-Bees). The new soft, squishy figures will fit in the palm of a hand, and come with its own stacking cube containers, bracelet, and trading card. Kids can also go online and get the digital versions of the creatures. Scheduled to arrive in stores this summer, Bella Sara Chibis will be available first in the U.S. and Russia, and then will be released in Western Europe.
