RC2 CORPORATION DEBUTS NEW ITEMS
WITH THE WHIMSICAL DR. SEUSS LICENSE
Toymaker brings classic license to life with their line of
Dr. Seuss Motion Mobiles.
BOLINGBROOK, IL-(September 25, 2003)- RC2 Corporation
(NASDAQ: RCRC), makers of high-quality toys, hobby products
and collectibles, rolls out more excitement with a three
new specialty-only Dr. Seuss collectible, mechanically animated
vehicles. Dr. Seuss has become the best-selling children's
author of all time with over 45 books and several movies
based on his work-including this year's Cat in the Hat.
These vehicles, inspired by the books and stories read by
over half a billion children, are clever, fanciful play
pieces that jump directly off the page to spin, bounce,
whirl and bobble their way into the hearts of kids of any
age. New Dr. Seuss Motion Mobiles for 2003:
Each unique vehicle is full of motion and high-level
articulation and comes equipped with couplers, which allow
the individual vehicles to easily hook together for extended
play. Ages 18 months & up.
Cat in the Hat Cleaning Car:
Cleaning arms move as car rolls to clean everything
in sight. Cleaning up has never been so neat as when
the Cat in the Hat is in the driving seat!
Cat in the Hat Bathtub:
Cat in the Hat spins around in the bathtub when the
car moves. Baths are so much more fun to take if you
can have one while eating cake.
Five Hump Wump: People
bob up and down on the Wump's Humps as the car moves
along. You can run, skip, or jump but don't miss a ride
on the Five Hump Wump.
