Most of the Forever Fun Christmas holiday products are in production. Final approved packaging files have been sent to the printers. Here at Round 2, LLC, a steady stream of test shots of the poseable figures and PVC figurines are being reviewed and painted deco samples are being scrutinized for quality. Printed press proofs of packaging files aren’t expected back for a while. That said, production samples of Forever Fun 2009 product items DO NOT exist!
However, our various customers still need something representative for their planning purposes. These buyers have rooms where they actually set up shelves with the products they have chosen for the season. This simulates their store aisles for management to walk through and review. What we do to satisfy this need is shown in the image. You see fake representations of our 2009 items: boxes of Peanuts Deluxe Figures, a Mini Figure Pageant Set and trays of Peanuts poseable figures and Rudolph poseable figures. This is done with color printouts of the packaging pasted onto heavy board. The packages are cut and/or scored, folded and taped together. The figures shown are flat pictures and cardboard cutouts. The cart represents a good part of a days work. Maybe from far away, you might be fooled into thinking they are actual product. From REAL far away!

Is there some resource that details what NEW items have been added to Memory Lane/Round 2/Forever Fun products over the years (Rudolph, Peanuts, etc).
Collectors would appreciate it.
Also, what happens to those promo display items when people are done with them? I’d take ‘em.

We discussed having an archive area for that very subject when we were working on the development of our Forever Fun website. I guess I could say, “It’s in the plan”. All we need is the time to compile it.

I’ve been working on just such an online archive for my own website. I highlight all Christmas figures though, not just the Round 2 product.
The only archive I wish could get posted anywhere is the definitive collection of Peanuts variants. It makes it hard for collectors to get them all not having any form of reference.

Ed, what is your website address?
