Our first stop for the morning was Tide-Rider, where Dave Smith showed us a few new pieces from Merrythought:
- “Tigger” for the Disney show in May. Dave said this one is still awaiting approval by Disney, but is close to what you’ll see at the show. The little brown guy at his side is a “Cheeky Walt,” also for the show.
- “Cheeky Pirate” and “Cheeky Deliveryman” are both new this year.
Dave said some of his samples didn’t come in, so I flipped through the catalog. If you get a chance, look online to see if the new pieces are there yet (I think it’s Merrythought.co.uk). There were some cute non-Cheeky pieces that might bear investigation.
I do like the Cheeky smile on the Tigga bear...but the one that caught my eye was the self effacing grey bear in the back... Oooh, I'd love to give him a hug
