English company Product Enterprise Ltd, has selected Davis Marketing Services to be the exclusive distributor in North America for its line of cult TV and classic film toys and collectibles. Product Enterprise's award-winning standards of sculpting, attention to detail, and stringent manufacturing quality control ensure that each collectible is a stunning reproduction of a true classic. These high-quality toys and collectibles (many of them die-cast metal) will still be available through current channels, but this distribution agreement will mean that these items will be available on a much more convenient, cost-effective, and timely basis. The current range of Product Enterprise licenses include Gerry Anderson TV shows (Space: 1999, Captain Scarlet, and Thunderbirds), Dr. Who, Hammer Film's Dracula, Red Dwarf, and The Avengers. New licenses based on American cult TV shows and movies will be announced in the near future.
Product Enterprises has produced a full range of die cast vehicles from the various Gerry Anderson Supermarionation TV series as well as a number of plastic figures and playsets, many with enhanced electronic features including voice chips and radio controls. Typical of the highly detailed figures is a talking 7.5-inch version of the 4th Dr. Who (the great Tom Baker) a highly detailed likeness that comes with his signature hat and scarf as well as his robotic sidekick K-9 (with pull back action) and the ability to proclaim four classic Whovian phrases. The Talking 4th Dr. Who Figure, which comes packed in a cardboard Tardis and sells for about 30 pounds in England, will have a suggested American retail of about $55.
The 10-inch long Starbug Playset includes four figures, a highly detailed play interior, a launching probe and the ability to spout authentic lines of dialogue from the cult favorite Red Dwarf science fiction series. The Starbug Playset also sells for about 30 pounds in England and should have a retail of around $55 here in the States.
