 New Action Toy Series and Internet Experience Celebrate the Teamwork, Training, Commitment of the U.S. Special Forces
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 2 -- A new military invasion is underway across America -- one that teaches children the revered values that make the U.S. Special Forces heroes in the ongoing fight for freedom -- as the innovative Freedom Ops Network line of authentic, licensed action figures launches in top mass-market and toy retailers nationally in January 2009.
The Freedom Ops Network is the first-of-its-kind toy line featuring the brave members of the Navy SEALs, Army Green Berets and Rangers, Marines Force Recon and Air Force Special Tactics Groups in actual battle dress with accurately detailed equipment and accessories. The line also includes the Desert Patrol Light Strike Vehicle and Rugged Terrain Vehicle.
"The nation's respect for and interest in these heroes is very, very strong and we want to help celebrate their accomplishments," said David Hynes, managing partner of Hooga Loo/RHIP Toyz. "We created this toy line to appeal to boys ages six to 11, as well as collectible items for active and retired military members and military toy collectors. Based on the strong initial retail acceptance of the line, we expect this to be a very popular product."
The Freedom Ops Network includes: - Navy SEALs Frogman
- Navy SEALs Radio Telephone Operator
- Army Green Beret Explosives Specialist
- Marine Force Recon Spotter
- Army Rangers Paratrooper
- Air Force Special Tactics Squadron
- Navy SEALs Desert Patrol Light Strike Vehicle
- Army Green Beret Rugged Terrain Vehicle
Each figure in the Freedom Ops Network comes with a specialized dog tag that features the figures name and mission. Players can log onto the unique Freedom Ops Network website at www.FreedomOpsNet.com to learn about that figure, their training and their special skills. In addition, players can explore their very own training mission with tips for learning the training methods and teamwork-building skills needed to become a member of the U.S. Special Forces.
The Freedom Ops Network line is available at major retailers throughout the United States. Each 4" action figure has a suggested retail of $9.99 and the Navy SEALs vehicle and Army Green Beret RTV have a suggested retail of $16.99. Each item and the accessories are approved and authorized by the respective military branch. A portion of sales from the Freedom Ops Network line help support the respective branches of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
The Freedom Ops Network will be supported with national promotion program, retail point-of-purchase materials and a national public relations campaign. Additional action figures and accessories will be introduced in the coming months.
