Disney To Acquire Marvel Entertainment
October 1, 2009
Disney recently announced that it would buy Marvel Entertainement in a deal worth around $4 billion. The comic giant’s portfolio consists of over 5000 characters including Captain America, X-Men and Hulk with Spiderman probably the most famous.
Disney president and chief executive Robert Iger said “We believe that adding Marvel to Disney’s unique portfolio of brands provides significant opportunities for long-term growth and value creation.”
Also Stan Lee who created Spiderman plans a new project with Disney – an animated comic book to be made available online and on mobile phones. The (young) 86 year old will voice the head of the organisation that the super hero works for and has high hopes of its success. The name of this new venture is ‘Time Jumper.’
New Toy Story Range At Rest And Play
September 11, 2009
With a brand new movie eagerly awaited for June 2010 it’s hard to believe it has been 14 years since the first Toy Story hit our screens.
In the first movie we are introduced to Buzz Lightyear, Woody and the gang who make up Andy’s toys and the rest as they say is history.
The continued success of Toy Story with another movie spawned a range of merchandise from character toys to a bedding range to backpacks (I remember queuing one Christmas for a Buzz toy for my nephew).
Recently we’ve added some backpacks, a swim bag, a wheeled bag and junior bedding to our range with more to follow soon.
We have two sizes of back pack, one to suit the younger space ranger featuring Buzz, Woody and the gang.
A larger backpack for older children in black with orange piping features a large image of Buzz Lightyear.
For swimming trips we have a fab swim bag and for holidays and sleepovers a cool wheeld bag.
A brand new range of bedding made especially for cot/junior beds is also now available. More items to follow soon.
