Exclusive. Character and Flair over the moon about Dream Dozen
After the announcement of The Toy Retailers Association's Dream Dozen, Team TnP speaks exclusively to the head honchos at Character Options and Flair on making the top 12
Jerry Healy, Marketing Director at Character Options says: "We're absolutely delighted at being in the Dream Dozen. I think it is a great representation, not only of the Pontypandy Rescue Set, but of the whole Fireman Sam range.
"This morning has been really good, there is a lot of TV coverage here so we are very pleased!"
Team TnP also spoke with Flair's Marketing Director Lindsay Hardy, who spoke of her delight at Milky the Bunny's inclusion.
"It's wonderful for us, because Milky the Bunny is already selling well, so we're hoping that it's going to be a big hit for us. We had great success last year with Toffee the Pony, so we hope that Milky can do just as well," says Lindsay.
When asked why she thought Milky the Bunny was announced on the illustrious list, Lindsay replied: "Milky is so cute and delivers a lovely play pattern at an affordable price."
