Steiff Toto and International Wizard of Oz Club Promotion

Steiff introduces Toto for fall 2012.  He is a companion piece to last year's Dorothy teddy bear.   Like Dorothy, Toto is limited to 1,939 pieces.  He is 4.3 inches and adheres to the Steiff standards of quality. 

Lovers of the classic Hollywood film "The Wizard of Oz" will want to own Toto, Dorothy's beloved pet from the movie.  Toto is hand crafted from finest Steiff-Schulte mohair and has been delicately airbrushed to add to his charm.  Toto comes with a handmade wooden basket and blanket made of the same material as Dorothy's dress.  His facial features are all hand stitched.  Toto is officially licensed by Warner Brothers and is a genuine Oz collectible that should be part of every Steiff or Wizard of Oz collection. 

In addition Hollywood collectors and cairn terrier enthusiasts should love him too!! 

Dorothy was introduced last year but is still available.   She is 11.4 inches.

First released in 1939, it is one of the most beloved films of all time.  And now it's coming to life as a special Steiff bear, exclusively for North American and the United Kingdom.  We proudly present to you "Dorothy, The Wizard of Oz Bear".  A Teddy whose design is as classic as the film itself.  You'll love the traditional Steiff profile, the beautiful cream mohair, and all the special features.  Just like in the movie, Dorothy wears a charming blue-checked dress.  On her paw pad, the title of the film is spelled out in Swarovski crystal elements - reminiscent of the famous ruby slippers!  And naturally, Dorothy's music box plays "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".

 Steiff is offering a special discount for International Wizard of Oz Club members.  10% will be taken off your order of either Toto or Dorothy when you use promo code: SteiffOz12.   Steiff is also donating a Toto to the International Wizard of Oz Club Archives.  Use these links to order Dorothy and/or Toto. 

http://www.steiffusa.com/productdetail.aspx?productid=682261   for Toto         $125.00

http://www.steiffusa.com/productdetail.aspx?productid=681998      for Dorothy     $285.00

Any questions can be directed to Karen Owens at Storylandmi@aol.com

Further, Karen will have a Toto on display at the Chesterton Wizard of Oz Festival September 14, 15, and 16.   Toto will be at the International Wizard of Oz Club booth.

Toy Factory Plush Update

The Wizard of Oz Plush are available in two size sets.   9" to 11"  and 14" to 16"      Due to the popularity of these plush and the numerous requests outside of Toy Factory's typical customer base they have expanded availability.  They can be found in amusement machines such as claw games and museum, gift shop, and publication retail outlets.  I'm working on getting a list of retail outlets so please stay tuned!  This post will be updated as it becomes available.

Madame Alexander Update

The September issue of Dolls Magazine has a lovely two page spread featuring the Madame Alexander and Marie Osmond dolls.  Author Sharon Verbeten states that while 75th anniversary plans are being kept under wraps for now there will be new dolls for this momentous occasion and in addition Warner Brothers will be announcing a new partner shortly. 

Madame Alexander was purchased by Kahn Lucas, but it will be business as usual.  Actually, better than usual.   Specifics are still closely guarded for the time being.  However, Madame Alexander is very optimistic for the future.   Madame Alexander's Director of Marketing and Licensing, Robynn Delin says "We are very excited about the new parent company as it allows Madame Alexander to continue to design and produce the quality product it had for  90 years.
We are developing new Oz product and continue to carry this line which has been an integral part of the Madame Alexander legacy. We are working with Warner Brothers with several initiatives for the anniversary."

Madame Alexander is in the process of evolving and settling in with Kahn Lucas, but new doll introductions will continue in February of 2013.
