Namco Prize Division has introduced new range of Timmy Time and Shaun the Sheep plush characters.
The Aardman Animations creation Shaun the Sheep first appeared in the Wallace and Gromit film A Close Shave and then had his own series for children on CBBC. His little cousin Timmy then inspired a series Timmy Time for pre-schoolers on CBeebies.
“The distinctive plush toys of the Aardman characters have an incredible charm and they are loved by people of all ages,” says James Anderson, general manager of Namco Prize Division.
“We have successfully been selling Shaun the Sheep for some time now and have done some limited edition productions such as the Christmas range and even some bespoke product for individual customers. Now, by working closely with Aardman Animations our in-house creative department is able to draw up new designs for the characters including the “Love Ewe” and “Zipper” ranges.”
The Zipper range features Shaun wearing a “fleece” jacket over a coloured T shirt. The Love Ewe range has a romantic theme and Shaun is featured carrying a heart or rose, or wearing “love” slogan t-shirts. There are four figures in each range. The standard Shaun the Sheep comes in five sizes, from 15cm up to 50cm figure. Timmy is available as a 25cm high figure.
