Insight Editions Wizard of Oz Journal Plus Future Releases

A beautiful hard cover journal coming toward the end of June. 192 pages of acid free archival paper.  Also includes a back pocket.  Suggested retail is $18.95. In addition to the journal, there are plans for stationery and layered wood Christmas ornaments. Those items have not been approved and weren't available for viewing at Toy Fair. The journal looks really beautiful so I'm hopeful for more Oz product. 

Once again thanks to Kroffty for Toy Fair sleuthing and a big thank you to Insight Editions for their time. 

Toy Fair 2018: Factory Entertainment Wizard of Oz Revos

Please note these are samples only and are subject to change pending licensor approval.  They look great so far and thank goodness Dorothy has blue socks!!!  All the character prototypes weren't ready for Toy Fair but there will be a Scarecrow and a Wicked Witch of the West. If the line proves successful, there are hopes to add other characters.  Factory Entertainment does a wide variety of product and I'd so love to see them really expand with the Oz characters.  As of now, they are scheduled for a third quarter release so that should put us in the July - September area.  They will be released 3 characters at a time and retail for $11.99 each.  It's really exciting to have a new licensee on board with The Wizard of Oz. I'm hoping to see a full show of support from the Oz community.  Judging from the Toy Fair photos the pieces look marvelous!!!  

I am so in love with these little guys!  I can't wait to see the Wicked Witch.  I think the way Toto is posed holding his little paw up is adorable!  So far I'm super happy with these early offerings and I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. 

BIG THANK YOU to Factory Entertainment for being so generous with photos and information. Your time is much appreciated.

And BIG THANKS to Kroffty Dave for taking time out of his day to confer, converse and otherwise hobnob with licensees and take photos. It's really important to show them Oz is still beloved and we very much want more product.  He is truly a wizard among wizards.  Thank you!!

Wizard of Oz Revo by Factory Entertainment

Precious Moments Wizard of Oz Sculpture

Exciting new release for 2018!!  Hamilton Collection has attempted licensed Precious Moments twice before in 2014 so crossing fingers these get produced!  It's promising they went on the website so quickly after sending fliers out.  It's my hope Hamilton Collection will revisit the cancelled designs again.  

These figurines are just adorable!!!  The Emerald City stands at 18 inches and is a lovely display for 11 figurines.

Big thanks to Goldie Owens Sutton for posting these on the Everything Oz Club Facebook page!!!!! 

Wizard of Oz Melting Witch Chocolate Cupcake Kit

I am so sorry to be posting this so late!  A member of the Everything Oz Club posted this find after visiting a pumpkin patch.   Then to touch base with the company and real life getting in the way.  This year the kits were sold only to gift stores and independent stores.  There are some available on Amazon.   Crossing fingers for a wide release next year. The company was pleased to hear how excited Oz and Halloween fans are right now.  It would sure be nice to see these in more stores.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Funko Wizard of Oz Vynl

I absolutely adore these new additions by Funko!  They remind me a bit of Rankin and Bass characters.  I so want these to do well so Funko will do more characters and expand the Wizard of Oz license.  The new Vynls are very worthy successors to the hugely popular Pop figures.  My camera couldn't capture just how cute these are but I wanted to show how detailed these are. They are very nicely packaged with stands for the figures should you wish to display out of the box.  They retail from about $17 to $20.  Check you local comic shops, pop culture stores, FYE, or you can mail order from Wizard of Oz retailer Storyland Collectables. 

Hallmark Wizard of Oz Fluffballs

What a darling surprise these little guys are!!  I just can not express how thrilled I am to see Hallmark still working with Oz beyond the Keepsake Ornaments.  These soft plushy balls are more detailed than you'd think for their medium and size.  I tried to capture some of that for you, but my photos still don't do them justice.  The Fluffballs are going to be super cute hanging on the Christmas Tree or from the mantel.  They are just adorable.  Showing up now at Walgreens and CVS.  Hallmark said they might also be at some grocery stores but I would check Walmart as well.  Or you can order direct from Hallmark on Amazon.  https://www.amazon.com/Wizard-Fluffball-Ornament-Pack-Scarecrow/dp/B075GX78KR/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1507236490&sr=8-1&keywords=Hallmark+fluffballs

 

 

I hope we'll see these next year with the additions of the Glinda, The Wicked Witch of the West, Toto, and a Winged Monkey.
