PUPPETRY JOURNAL magazine
Robin Walsh, one of the people on the restoration team from www.screen-novelties.com has been asked to write an article about their restoration project of the original RANKIN/BASS 'Animagic' figures of RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER & SANTA CLAUS. Don't forget RUDOLPH & SANTA will be in OHIO Thanksgiving weekend and then at BROOKFIELD ZOO with me Dec. 8th and 9th. This may be their last public appearances for a while.

FALL
The FALL weather has just arrived in CHICAGO. This has been the longest SUMMER I can remember! If you placed a recent order with us, I packed tons tonight and it will be in the mail tomorrow. I received the new FELIX THE CAT DVD box set from my friend Patrick and the packaging is A#1 with Patrick's art! VERY nice set. I also received THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS Deluxe DVD and was pleasantly surprised! It comes in a nice cardboard sleeve with raised, glitter artwork and I was very happy with the final RANKIN/BASS Documentary! The DOC by SPARKHILL now includes PAUL COKER, JR. drawing his famous RANKIN/BASS characters and more of BRADLEY BOLKE & RHODA MANN! I hope it airs on ABC FAMILY for their 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS this year!Tuesday, October 09, 2007

FUNKO!
I would strongly recommend you pick up series 2 of the FUNKO 'MAD MONSTER PARTY' figures before they are gone. They were done (Like the first set) in a LIMITED EDITION. Brian Mariotti did a wonderful job on these! Looking forward to series 3!!!
