Forever Fun is proud to show off our new Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer figures for 2011. To kick off our figures, we are excited to introduce NEW Young Buck Rudolph. He’s ready to guide Santa through the winter storm with his red nose and green harness. He comes on his own attached snow base, which makes him perfect for display and play.  With Rudolph up front, Santa is on his way.

Clean your dashboards and desks; Forever Fun‘s Peanuts Bobble Heads are well on their way. These guys are going to be the perfect stocking stuffer for 2011. This trio comes ready to deck the halls. Charlie, dressed in his seasonal garb, is ready to trim a tree with his little ornament in hand. Linus bobbles his little head along with a holiday wreath in hand. Snoopy and Woodstock want to wish you a Merry Christmas, with their adorable little sign. All three come on their own snow base and have all right moves to melt your heart.

Every one who loves the holiday classic show, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer®, knows the multitude of characters that make up the world of Rudolph®. Over the years, Playing Mantis, Inc. and next Round 2 LLC, have produced a complete line of standard poseable figures, playsets, ultimate figures and pvc figurines based on the classic show. In the previous posts, we have been introducing the new size of poseables being produced by Round 2 for 2011 and we couldn’t be more excited. BUT, actually there’s a reason to up the ante on excitement, particularly if you are a long time collector of our Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer product. This new size brings our poseable figures in perfect scale with a couple of our favorite character replicas. Pictured above is a photo of our Ultimate Humble Bumble figure last produced in 2004, Deluxe Yukon Cornelius from 2010 and our new mid-scale 2011 Hermey and Rudolph holiday poseable figures.

Check out the frame grabs in the image  below! Looks like we’re picture perfect and right-sized!

It’s our musical Snowman Sam! Forever Fun’s deluxe mid-scale poseable Sam the Snowman comes ready to narrate the story of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer^®. Sam comes with a banjo accessory ready to sing and play his way through the story.

That completes Forever Fun’s 2011 mid-scale poseable line up for Rudolph^®. To recap, we have Hermey, Santa Claus, Rudolph and Sam the Snowman. They are all available as deluxe mid-scale poseable with accessories and as the basic mid-scale poseable . Both deluxe and basic poseables are packaged with eight memory game pieces for holiday fun. Collect them all for more family fun. We are really excited about this whole line up and hope you are too. Let us know what you think.

Who better to do the job of guiding a sleigh than the most famous reindeer of the all! Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer^® is also going to be a part of Forever Fun’s deluxe mid-scale poseables for 2011. Santa’s pal comes with his own snow base perfect for display. Deluxe mid-scale Rudolph is spreading the Christmas cheer with his own little wreath decorated with red and gold. He looks ready to take the lead, but who is going to take the lead of the story?

When there’s an elf there must be his loveable boss, Santa! Forever Fun’s deluxe mid-scale poseable Santa Claus comes with all the goodies for a successful Christmas. In order for Santa to do his job, he comes right to your home bearing three presents just for you. Christmas Eve can get chilly, so we gave our mid-scale poseable Santa a real (and removeable) cloth hat and jacket to stay warm while flying through the cold night air. With the ensemble complete, Santa Claus deluxe mid-scale poseable is almost on his way. There’s only one thing is missing; someone to guide to his sleigh.

Forever Fun is ready to roll out our Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer® deluxe mid-scale poseables. We are just as excited about these guys as we are for the Peanuts mid-scale poseables. Each adorable Rudolph® poseable will be packaged as deluxe mid-scales with accessories and basic mid-scales packaged out accessories. To kick off the unveiling we start with the most famous elf of all, Hermey. He’s dressed and ready to work in his vintage colors with his hammer and dentistry book. Don’t fret Bumbles, Hermey can take care of all of you dentistry needs! What is an elf without the big guy in red? Keep an eye out because Santa Claus is on his way.

We’re rolling out all NEW figures in a NEW size! That’s right! Our Rudolph Holiday poseables for 2011 are new sculpts in a new scale – comparable to the 3-3/4 action size in quality and detail. We’ve been double busy, not only making sure these new figures are the best they can possibly be, but we are also working with a new factory this year. I am pleased to report that they are doing an admirable job despite the learning curve. The image below shows hard copies of the sculpts for the NEW Rudolph poseables. First test shots of the figures have proven that the engineers have done a great job with articulation. Keep checking back because Katie will be posting an image and description of each. Toys R Us will be carrying all four styles in basic assortment as well as a deluxe assortment which includes a Rudolph poseable figure plus an accessory.

Among the pumpkins it’s our favorite little psychiatrist, Lucy!  Lucy completes the Forever Fun Halloween poseables in her adorable pumpkin costume. Her costume and hat are fabric with a Jack-O-Lantern face. She’s the perfect pumpkin. The Peanuts gang is ready to trick-or-treat. So to recap, the Peanuts Halloween poseables for 2011 are going to be, Charlie as the skeleton, Snoopy as the Masked Marvel with Woodstock, Linus as a werewolf and Lucy as a pumpkin. We are really looking forward to seeing these on the shelves at CVS and we hope you are too! Keep checking in for more updates.
