The line of KISS merchandise continues to grow as Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have struck a deal with the creators of the animated series Family Guy. They're working on a co-branded line of goodies expected to hit stores this fall, with vinyl figures, bobblehead dolls, apparel, novelties, barware and fine art. Stanley says, "With KISS merchandise, endorsements and co-branding heading to the billion-dollar mark, we are focusing more and more on the upper-tier, blue-chip opportunities for prestige partnerships. Family Guy's track record and consistent success with it's demographic makes this match up ideal."

KISS has appeared on Family Guy three times. The main characters, Peter and Lois Griffin, are big fans, and Lois dated Gene Simmons before he became famous.
