MISER BROS. COLLECTIBLES 'TOO MUCH' FOR TREE ALONE

Harmony, PA (November 2, 2006): Online retailer Time and Space Toys (www.timeandspacetoys.com) has teamed with collectibles manufacturer NECA (www.necaonline.com) to sell hanging figures from the Rankin/Bass classic holiday TV special, The Year Without a Santa Claus. The figures, one each of the popular weather controlling (and often feuding) brothers, Heat Miser and Snow Miser, are two to three inches tall and come with a hanging hook and decorative string for easy suspension and decoration this holiday season.

"These new Miser Brothers hanging decorations will be 'too much' for your tree alone," says Time and Space Toys president Kevin Kriess. "These precious collectibles can be hung on your backpack, briefcase, keychain, ears, and rearview mirror too. As huge fans of the Rankin/Bass library, we are super excited to be the exclusive retailer for this product."

The hanging figures will be sold as a set and will not be available at any other retail stores other than Time and Space Toys; they will be the only hanging ornamental figures produced based on The Year Without a Santa Claus. Time and Space Toys will also be carrying the entire NECA product line based on the popular Miser Bros. TV special, including action figures, PVC figurines, bobblehead dolls, and plush dolls.

Time and Space Toys, family owned and operated, is an online retailer of high-quality, licensed toys and collectibles based on entertainment properties. Time and Space Toys has established itself as the leading web retailer of Rankin/Bass licensed merchandise, and recently became the home of the original screen stars of the Rankin/Bass classic, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."
