I’ve been reading some blurbs about the Licensing Expo that was recently held in Vegas. Of the interesting information that was dispersed from the annual show that showcases all the hottest licenses in the industry, I was interested to see this one from Disney Consumer Products, which I’ll get into later.
Speaking of Disney, at the Time to Play Spring and Summer Showcase, Disney Consumer Products had a diverse selection of their latest toys. Aside from the much-hyped Toy Story and the ever-popular Princesses toys, DCP had some new, but familiar faces.
DCP recently introduced Pook-A-Looz, a plush line of their classic characters who have received a modern-meets-vintage twist. That probably doesn’t make too much sense, but according to Disney, Pook-A-Looz were designed to capture the personalities of iconic Disney characters in an edgy, offbeat way. They’re said to be inspired by the urban vinyl toy culture, which began in Asia a decade ago.
