Pennsylvania’s Uncanny Brands is bolstering its leadership ranks with the addition of seasoned executives Shawn Glyn and Michael Reisbaum.
Glyn (pictured left) joined the licensed housewares manufacturer last month as president to spearhead its corporate vision and work directly with the executive team on developing and executing new goals and objectives. He has 25-plus years of experience building consumer products programs for the likes of Allstar Innovations (2023 to 2024), Jay Franco & Sons (2009 to 2016) and Team Products International (2001 to 2006), working on kids brands including Sesame Street, Toys ‘R’ Us and Crayola.
Meanwhile, Reisbaum (pictured right) will oversee Uncanny’s global retail network as VP of sales. He joined last month following a four-month consulting gig, but has worked in the promotional products industry for more than 25 years.
Uncanny is best known for making unique licensed home goods such as the Sonic the Hedgehog waffle maker, Hello Kitty slow cooker, R2D2 popcorn maker and Minions portable blender. It also manufactures a 10-inch plush toy line called Bleacher Creatures, which features WWE superstars, Marvel superheroes and popular athletes from the NBA and NHL.
