(May 2006) - Forest Park, IL - Rocket USA has finished production on an original and fun piece which can be used for home décor or as a colorful and calming influence on any bedroom, office, den, or family room. 'The Buddha Buddha™ Bank' is an 8-inch tall figurine/bank made of durable poly resin.

Buddha was born in Nepal some 2500 years ago, but he is still a revered and loved figure in all cultures. Soon after he was born, it was evident to all of those around him that he would be a very enlightened soul. Rocket USA hopes to capture this enlightenment with our six banks, each of which represent not only a different color but a state of being which Buddha himself would strive for.

'The Buddha Buddha™ Bank' comes in six assorted colors/enlightened states: blue (serenity), red (love), pink (peace), gold (happiness), yellow (praise), and green (faith). It is a piece which is sure to brighten up any room with their contagious happiness.

'The Buddha Buddha™ Bank' will be available in specialty stores and Urban Outfitters nationwide in June, 2006. MSRP of 'The Buddha Buddha™' is $14.95 to $16.95. It can also be found as item number 960 by calling Rocket USA at (708) 358-8888 or visiting www.rocketusa.com.
