The latest ABC figures, announced today, reveal that Moshi Monsters Magazine has become the best selling children's title in the UK within its first six months on shelf.

The magazine, which launched in February this year has reached a circulation of 113,748 (Source ABC - 1 April to 30 June 2011) - eclipsing its rivals and ranking at 70 within the top 100 magazines sold in the UK.

Emma Munro Smith, Co-Editor of Moshi Monsters Magazine commented "It's incredible to have become the best selling children's magazine in the UK and to have achieved such large numbers in a previously declining market. We're delighted with the results and with the incredible feedback we get from our fans… and there's still so much more to come!"  

The newsstand title is based upon the immensely popular http://www.moshimonsters.com, which now has over 50 million registered users worldwide (12m in the UK).

Half of all UK kids aged 6-12 have adopted a Moshi Monster online and the brand has experienced huge success across all of its 'real world' offerings to date, including toys, books, trading cards and Top Trumps. The popularity of the merchandise marks the increasing appetite for children's entertainment brands that work across multiple platforms.

including comic strips, competitions, free gifts, puzzles, top secret Moshi hints and tips, character fact files, user-generated content and unique codes that unlock exciting content within the online world.
