What?? KISS in the middle of a lucrative licensing deal? Haha, this is the band that has a line of caskets! Personally I hope they make the "KISS Saves Christmas" TV special a reality!
In any case, found this article on CNN today, though it's a Rolling Stone article...
(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.

(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.
