Looney Tunes Newsletter 20-OCT-98

Hi Everyone,

We got our order from the Studio Stores catalog. For the most part we are very happy. The ornaments and stuff keep getting better in quality every year. It was only in '95 that so many of them had paint that rubbed off. The only 2 items that we thought could be better were the large animated Sylvester and Tweety and the light set. The animated one is very well made but the music plays muffled. To us this isn't a big deal because we don't use the sound but it might matter to others. The light set is washed out looking when you turn them on. They are pretty in the box but I could only recommend them to someone who is getting them for a collection. Everything else though was great. Watch for lots of Marvin items this Christmas-we have some that we saw there listed below.

If you see any new items in stores, have any other news or would like to submit something to the newsletter please email it to me so I can spread the word!
Thanks,
Richard

Looney News

-I have heard a rumour that there will be an animated Marvin out this year but have been unable to track down one. By the description I got it would be another one from Matrix. He is a toymaker and is supposed to be a full sized one which would make him around 20" tall.
-All for the Love of Pepe Le Pew. http://www.justpepe.com/ This is a nice site dedicated to the great amorous one. Lots of stuff here including 3 PLP themes.
