I have been fortunate to receive part one of the new Marvel Movie Figurines part series due to go on sale July 11. The Marvel branding is strong, which is vital for this partwork to be successful. It will appeal to Marvel fans. Placed at the front of the store, this is a product that will attract shoppers into the business.
Here is the figurine that comes with issue #1. Iron Man, Tony Stark. We took it out of the box to check quality. It is excellent. A collector I showed it to in the office just now gave it his blessing saying the quality good, it has a good weight and the finish is good – in fact, better than usual for a partwork.
I urge newsagents to get behind this opportunity in-store and online as it could generate excellent new traffic for this and to connect with the national News Corp campaign starting soon.
Agree – TATTS treat newsagents with utmost contempt. Garage and OTR fitout costs are a fraction of what is forced on newsagents, We cannot have anything on the counter, we have to have everything where TATTS want yet the same rules don’t apply to the others
