NEW YORK ? Sababa toys has signed on for a line of teen-targeted plush based on Jim Henson's Muppet characters.
Sababa promises product featuring a "newer, more contemporary look" for each character in a bid to attract the teen/trendsetter audience. The first items in the line will reach select retail outlets later this spring. A full product launch will follow during the back-to-school period.
"It is our intent to recreate the magic of the Muppets with a comprehensive line of plush that will cover all sizes, features and a variety of characters?some of whom will be a first as a plush," said A. Stone Newman, Sababa Toys co-founder."
(I looked around and was surprised that I couldn't find this really mentioned anywhere on the forums already - apologies if I somehow missed the discussion.)
