Yikes! We have been nurturing the birth and progress of a new line of figurines to add to our Forever Fun line up of holiday seasonal products. Sculpts and sales samples for this line up recreating the characters in The Little Drummer Boy holiday classic have been warmly received. Test shots have been reviewed and packaging samples received and approved. The next step would be reviewing painted test shots. Jamie received an email loaded with turn around images of the anxiously awaited painted figurines. Image by image, front view, side views, back view, three quarter views, each figurine was revealed. Things were looking pretty good. Image by image we were feeling more and more confident that the factory had understood our specifications. Scrolling toward the end of the images…. YIKES! We have a problem with Aaron, the star of the show. Everything was looking so good up until then; we decided that folks at the factory were playing a little joke on us. So Jamie decided to return the favor! We are very happy to announce the addition of this new license to our roster of Forever Fun holiday classics. Little Drummer Boy holiday figurines premiere release will be at selected retailers for the 2009 holiday season.

I can’t wait to get these! They look great! If these sell well is there any hope of adding the villains next year in their own box set with the Drummer Boy? How likely is there to ever be action figures? If you marketed these to Christian Bookstore chains as well as mainstream places like Toys R Us I believe they’d do well. There’s also a few national chains of Christian book stores similar to the mainstream toy stores. It just might be a valid option to help get more Drummer Boy out there than may be possible in the mainstream stores.

I as well. I’ve been waiting for something like this since you showed your proposed LDB line at NYC Toy Fair, many years ago! This is a nice surprise as I was disappointed the line (which looked GREAT by the way) was never produced due to lack of interest. I totally agree w/Ed’s suggestions & hopes. My main question is will these sets only be available exclusively through Time & Space toys, OR will I be able to find them at other retailers. If so, can you please tell me approx. when & where. THANKS!
