GRUMPY CAT Will Meet New Namesake Webkinz on Opening Day of Toy Fair
The world’s grumpiest feline, GRUMPY CAT™, makes her inaugral visit to NY Toy Fair when she appears at Ganz Booth 2923 on Sunday Feb 16. Grumpy Cat will be on hand to launch her new Webkinz plush and virtual character–the first celebrity to be so recognized on Webkinz World. Grumpy Cat Webkinz will be available in the Ganz eStore as Toy Fair opens, the weekend of February 15-16; the plush Webkinz pet will be intro’d soon after. Ganz has created an extensive line of GRUMPY CAT merchandise, including plush, luggage tags, mugs, magnets, coasters, stationery, signs, candles, door hangers and T-shirts. New items including a hand puppet, pillows and Grumpy Cat and Pokey figurines will be arriving this summer.
