Hello Cutie

Here's a little post for my sweetheart Anne. Tokidoki has teamed up with Hello Kitty to create a new line of plushies and accessories [pictured above]. There are cosmetics bags, cell-phone charms, a mirror, ball-point pens, a business card case, an ID case, a wallet, letter sets, notebooks, a couple of plushies, and a camera case. I'm not sure what I should get for my sweetie, but I know I have to get her one of these. They are just too cute. Just like her.

Poor Kitties

I got e-mail from Michael Schupbach, a character designer and puppet builder who designs characters for film and TV, but has recently gained a new passion: plushies! He has created a new plush toy for ESC Toy Ltd. called the Konjoinedkitty. Konjoinedkitty is two plushes in one: one Kute, the other Kranky joined down the belly with love. What's with all of the K's, huh Michael? Kute, Kranky, Konjoinedkitty = KKK? Okay, maybe I am reading a little too much into things. Anyway, you can get the Konjoinedkitty retail from the kitty website or wholesale from DKEtoys.com. The press release is below.

Who's The Leader Of The Club That's Made For You And Me?

Erick Scarecrow of Esc-Toy Ltd. fame has just announced the release of a new toy, his latest plush offering, known lovingly as Mousey Micci [pictured above and below]. Mousey Micci is 12-inches tall, comes in three different colorways also known as Super Hi-Tech Mousey Suits that are armed with different abilities, and retails for $24.99 each. The green variant is currently available on the Esc-Toy Ltd. eBay store. Mousey Micci is the only surviving alien from his armada that made it through an asteroid belt on their way to conquer Earth. I like how it has a second set of eyes in the mouth area like a costumed character from an amusement park. Very cute. Those interested in wholesale distribution of Mousey Micci should contact DKE Toys at www.dketoys.com.
