Toy Vault has found its niche in today's toy market -- creating plush figures from cult properties such as Monty Python's Flying Circus, H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu, and Godzilla.  In 2004, Toy Vault plans to pique collectors' interest by adding voice chips to many of its toys so that the plush figures can spew out the appropriate catchphrases that have endeared them to their fans.  In addition to plush items, Toy Vault has also created some desktop curios such as the Farm Animal Flinging Catapult from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and other movie 'relics' such as the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

New Monty Python items for 2004 also include the Lumberjack, who fancies wearing women's underwear and sings the famous Lumberjack song ('I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK'), one of the funniest bits from the original Monty Python TV series, and the Black Knight, who responds with one of four familiar lines ('It's just a flesh wound,' etc.), when his arm or some other appendage is pulled off.

Toy Vault has also created the first plush version ever of the Smog Monster, Hedorah from Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster (1971).  Hedorah will debut this summer with a retail price of $24.95.  Also available later this year from Toy Vault is a new Godzilla plush figure, which comes complete with voice chip.
