Animate Sales with Cartoon Network Maquettes!
From the June 2003 Diamond Dialogue:
With its dynamic characters and exciting programming for kids of all ages, the Cartoon Network -- as reported by the Cable Television Advertising Bureau -- has amassed the most loyal viewership in all of cable television. This September, Diamond customers can profit from the network's incredible popularity by ordering the Samurai Jack Training Progression Maquette (JUN033362I), which is advance-solicited in the June Previews.
Between its innovative programming and impressive roster of highly entertaining shows, the Cartoon Network has attracted an extremely involved audience whose response to the cable channel's various promotions, contests, and merchandise is nothing less than tremendous. With the Cartoon Network wanting to build a partnership with specialty retailers, now is the perfect time for Diamond customers to take full advantage of the enormous consumer interest in the network's properties -- beginning with this debut release in a new series of specialty market exclusive maquettes!
Only available to retailers through Previews -- and based on the star of Genndy Tartokovsky's (Dexter's Laboratory) acclaimed animated series, Samurai Jack -- the Samurai Jack Training Progression Maquette offers consumers a trio of cold-cast resin statues (with interlocking bases) depicting the warrior throughout the various points in his martial arts studies. Measuring 7 ¾" high x 10" wide, this handsome collectible comes individually numbered with a Certificate of Authenticity, and is limited to 2,500 pieces.
Retailers can look forward to finding future releases from the Cartoon Network Collection in upcoming issues of Previews, including maquettes based on characters from the cable channel's hit "Adult Swim" programming block -- Brak, Harvey Birdman, Space Ghost, and Zorak.
"We're thrilled to be partnering with the Cartoon Network by offering our customers this exciting series of collectibles," said Diamond Purchasing Manager Steve Tulp. "Beginning with the Samurai Jack Training Progression Maquette, we're providing retailers with the opportunity to tap into the tremendous saleabilty of these beautifully produced maquettes. Between the huge fan excitement surrounding these characters and the incredible quality going into the production of these high-end collectibles, the various releases from the Cartoon Network Collection are certain to add significantly to retailers' profits!
