DC DIRECT OFFERS CARTOON NETWORK ITEMS

November 2004 - Working closely with the Cartoon Network, DC Direct heads in an exciting new direction with the first DC Direct item based on a Cartoon Network series: the FOSTER'S HOME FOR IMAGINARY FRIENDS: FEATURING BLOOREGARD, MAC & EDUARDO STATUE. This limited-edition, hand-painted cold-cast porcelain statue will be advance solicited in the January issue of Previews (Volume XV #1) for release in July.

"The entire DC Direct creative team is very excited to have the opportunity to work with Cartoon Networks' library of characters," says Georg Brewer, DC's VP - Design & Retail Product Development. "Working hand-in-hand with the fine folks at CN, this line gives us the opportunity to apply our talented team in a new and fun visual direction."

At the same time, DC Direct offers a selection of other Cartoon Network items originally available via the Cartoon Network website. Based on The Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, these items are sure to appeal to fans of those shows as well as DC Direct collectors.

"We are thrilled to offer these items along with our own Cartoon Network-inspired DC Direct products," says Syndee Barwick, Director - Product Management, DC Direct. "They're a great fit with our new Cartoon Network products, and they're sure to look great on consumers' shelves."
