Everyday Princess™ Collection by NEAT-OH! INTERNATIONAL LLC

No crown required.™

Neat-Oh! knows that every little girl is a princess, every day. The Everyday Princess line is a collection of dolls and play environments. They’re toys devised to encourage imaginative play – and to empower young girls to design and control their own creative realm.

There are 3 dolls in the Everyday Princess Line, Emma, Sophie and Haley, who all have bean bag chairs, Bucky and Lucky the ponies, and Buddy and Dottie the dogs.

Also in the product line are a dollhouse-themed backpack that comes with an Emma doll and opens into a play arena, a 60 Doll Butterfly Chateau that neatly holds the entire collection – and transforms into a doll house for a whole new play experience, and a regal, life-sized, 54”-tall fairly castle that can be customized and expanded. 1/23/2014

Best Sellers 1 Rack by GAMES WORKSHOP

Best-Sellers 1 contains the boxed products from our best-selling ranges. Many of the products in this range are the ones first selected by new hobbyists (and thus are amongst our fastest sellers), including the boxed games for each of our gaming systems and the Hobby Starter Set. Assembling and painting of miniatures is a key part of the Games Workshop hobby. The hobby products in this range (paints, brushes, etc) provide a wide range of price points (complementing the higher price points of the boxed products) and as they are constantly in demand, mean your customers will return again and again on a regular basis to your store to refill their supplies (and of course check out all the other products).

ARRAZZLES by FUNNYBONE TOYS LLC

Arrazzles lets you explore abstract geometrical configurations. Each card has one of five different patterns of slots allowing for countless abstract building and design opportunities. Arrazzles cards are covered in five beautiful, reflective metallic colors, with a different color on each side of the card. As you build and connect the cards, the metallic colors reflect off each other. The hole in the middle of each card allows for further form exploration – it’s sized to perfectly hold a standard plastic straw, so you can connect the cards that way, or string them together with yarn or pipe cleaner, allowing you to build a completely unique abstraction every time you play! 1/17/2014 (MSRP: $19.99; Age: 4 and Up)
