Yet again the folks at Funtastic granted
us a tour of both their Dorcy Irwin and Funtastic product areas, and like other
distributors at the fair 2007 movie merchandise was a big feature. Our first
Stop...the Dorcy side of the stand.
Innovation should be Dorcy Irwin's middle name. The products on this stand were
great. In past year the Robo-line has been highly successful and great sellers
in stores. This year we saw some variations, HOMER-Sapien (Simpson's Robo)
and Spider-sapien (Spiderman Robo) and three new twists on the line with
RoboPanda, Roboquad and RoboBoa. It may be the aero-freak inside me but their
were some truly brilliant RC toys on show, with our pick being the Air Rage and
Blade Runners form
Interactive Toy Concepts. (we can see a Micro Mosquito doing laps of the
office in the near future). Also on show but still in concept/mock-up phase were
products from the Xmas release movie "the Golden Compass". Next up two TV lines
with the Power Ranges "Mystic Force" and Ben 10. Ben 10 looks to be a great new
kids show which actually began airing this weekend on the Nine Network. |
