Retro Doll Brand P.J. Sparkles is Back and Ready to Light Up the World with Love Again… Toy Fair 2009 BANNOCKBURN, Ill.-The year was 1989. Ronald Reagan handed over the presidency to George H.W. Bush. The TV show L.A. Law won an Emmy Award. The Los Angeles Lakers ruled the NBA as Champions. Madonna was topping the charts with hit songs “Like a Prayer” and “Express Yourself” and you were only “cool” if you were wearing a Jelly Bracelet on your wrist. That same year, the doll brand P.J. Sparkles was born in Twinkle Town where P.J. and her Sparkle Friends built life-long friendships and lit up the world with love! Zizzle’s P.J. Sparkles brings new innovation to the doll aisle this year with a touch of technology, and hours of entertainment and play as P.J. continues to light up girls’ worlds with love! By simply pressing her heart, watch in amazement as her tiara, earrings, bracelet and heart light up! At bedtime, P.J. can also be tucked into bed, as her party dress transforms into warm and cozy pajamas! “P.J. Sparkles is back and better than ever. The timing for P.J. Sparkles is just perfect,” says Roger Shiffman, President and CEO of Zizzle toys. “Moms of today grew up playing with P.J. and have fond memories. They’re now looking forward to sharing those fun experiences with their daughters and P.J. Sparkles.” Industry experts and analysts report that in tough times like these parents are drawn to “retro” brands and tried-and-true toys over the next techno-gadget. Back in the 80’s, P.J. Sparkles sales reached over $300 million, and in 2008, the doll category reached over $2.7 billion in sales. “We are seeing a big void in the girls’ aisle,” said industry analyst Gerrick Johnson of BMO Capital, “and that can be filled by exciting new lines and compelling new introductions from an old favorite like P.J. Sparkles.” Now, it is 20 years later, and the year for change! It’s the year the Celtics finally won another NBA championship, the year boots with fur are all the rage…and P.J. Sparkles is back! This spring, P.J. Sparkles is available at all major retailers featuring a large doll, an assortment of small dolls featuring four of P.J.’s friends and a variety of play sets ranging from $6.99- $24.99, all of which offer unique light up features.
