Kurt Adler To Launch New Line Of Beatles Yellow Submarine Collectible Ornaments

Kurt S. Adler—the leader in holiday decorations for 65 years—is proud and excited to announce a licensing agreement with Apple Corps Ltd. brokered by Live Nation Merchandise, The Beatles North American Licensing Agent. This new agreement will include light sets, stockings and a variety of holiday ornaments that will bring the iconic imagery and timeless appeal of The Beatles to lifelong fans, as well as to new generations of fans. The Beatles not only redefined music for their own generation and generations to come, they also redefined art, fashion and pop culture, in general. The Beatles were also responsible for several films that were well ahead of their time, including their only animated and possibly most recognizable film, Yellow Submarine, which Kurt S. Adler has been able to capture in all of its musical and whimsical charm in a new collectible line that will launch with a four-piece Christmas ornament set.

The initial set features John, Paul, George, and Ringo, each as their cartoon counterparts true to the animation style of Yellow Submarine! The ornaments are faithful to the lads’ song-driven adventure in a Yellow Submarine to restore peace, love, life, and music to the once quirky, vibrant Pepperland (by way of the Sea of Holes and the Sea of Green, of course). Each is wearing his own respective “groovy” outfit, a black mop-top unique to the 1968-era of Beatles history, and features skillfully-sculpted faces to capture the look and persona specific to each Beatle. Each figurine ornament is detailed from the pupils in the eyes, to John’s glasses, the sideburns and moustaches, their multi-colored striped outfits, and their familiar black, pointed boots. Wonderfully embellished, each collectible figurine ornament stands at approximately five inches tall and will be released to be sold as a deluxe box set of four pieces for $25.

This new product and licensing agreement allows Kurt S. Adler, Inc. to continue to create and meld beautiful, festive holiday decorations with attention-grabbing pieces of pop culture memorabilia, and to introduce the sensation of The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine to the holiday world.
