Basic Fun Unveils New Toys at the 2003 International Toy Fair

Southampton, PA - Basic Fun will unveil its new product line February 16th - 19th at the 100th International Toy Fair in New York City. Established as the most innovative and compelling keychain and impulse toy manufacturer over the past ten years, Basic Fun has carved out a niche for itself in the toy industry. From today's most popular characters such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer, to classics like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Cabbage Patch Kids, you can always find the most sought after characters in hip Basic Fun keychain style!

Basic Fun will introduce a new generation of Simpsons collectible keychains with the Simpsons Bobble Head keychains, the Bop Bag keychain and a Talking Homer keychain. Undoubtedly, these hilarious keychains are going to captivate fans everywhere! Everyone's favorite dad, Homer, is featured as a bobbling head, along with Springfield's infamous grinning clown, Krusty. Silly and grinning, these bobble heads jiggle front to back and side to side! Remember the inflatable punching bags that bounced right back up? Well, here's one for your fingers! Have a blast bopping and flicking Krusty the Clown on his very own Bop Bag keychain. No matter how hard you strike, thump, or whack you can't keep him down! "Wahoo!!" Homer Simpson's popular catch phrases have been captured in a talking keychain! Simply push the blade of hair on his melon shaped noggin to hear Homer's humorous sayings!

Fads of the 1980's have resurged as today's top trends! Basic Fun is leading the way with He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Glo Worm, Chutes and Ladders, and Mystery Date retro keychains. Get ready for the battle between good and evil with He-Man and Skeletor! Each figure is atop their respective sidekicks, Battlecat and Panthor. Pull the beast's tail to create torso-twisting, sword-swinging action! From the pom-pom on his cap down to the snuggly bottom of his tail, the Glo Worm keychain is sure to be loved by both kids and adults! Give Glo Worm a gentle 'little' squeeze and he glows with love. The Chutes&Ladders and Mystery Date game keychains are replicas of the classic originals. Both include retro artwork, mini game pieces and are completely playable!
