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!

Pre-Order on a GREAT new line of FROSTY THE SNOWMAN figures!
