( Rolling Stone ) -- Rock stars and merchandising extraordinaires KISS have joined forces with Fox 's animated hit `` Family Guy '' for a co-branded product line that will hit stores in fall , according to the Hollywood Reporter . Fox will develop the products with KISS ' licensing agent , Live Nation Merchandise , and will look for partners to make everything from bobblehead dolls to apparel to fine art . For a band that has licensed their image to everything from lunch boxes to pinball machines , KISS ' new partnership makes total sense . According to singer-guitarist Paul Stanley , the deal comes as KISS `` are focusing more and more on the upper-tier , blue-chip opportunities for prestige partnerships . `` Family Guy 's '' track record and consistent success with its demographic makes this match-up ideal . '' KISS are no strangers to `` Family Guy , '' having already made three cameos on the program . They have even become part of a running storyline that involves a previous relationship between Lois Griffin and KISS bassist/ladies ' man Gene Simmons . `` KISS and 'Family Guy ' coming together for a line of products is a great mash-up of two iconic brands that speaks directly to fans who will be able to enjoy something a little different and special with what we have in store , '' said Jeffrey Godsick , president of Fox Consumer Products . The joint licensing venture is the first in the company 's new series , which will encompass other notable `` Family Guy '' guests in the future . KISS are in for a busy summer , cartoon merch aside ; they will hit the road alongside fellow metal deities MÃ¶tley Crue for a 40-date North American trek , simply dubbed `` The Tour .
