Crowds of Anxious Cody Simpson Fans Lined Up To Have Their Doll Signed By The Teenage Heartthrob

MONTCLAIR, N.J. — December 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Atlantic Recording Artist and Pop Idol Cody Simpson today teamed up with The Wish Factory, Inc. to launch an assortment of Cody Simpson dolls, which are available exclusively at Toys“R”Us stores nationwide and online. To celebrate the arrival of this exciting new product, Cody Simpson unveiled two dolls and also had the chance to meet some of his biggest fans during a special event at Toys“R”Us Times Square. Two-hundred lucky fans that purchased the doll were given the opportunity to meet Cody and have their doll signed by the teen sensation himself while thousands of fans attended for the chance to see Cody Simpson in person.

“The Wish Factory did a tremendous job and I am amazed at how closely the doll resembles me. The clothes are modeled off actual stuff I wear, which is pretty cool,” said Cody. “When you’re a kid and you see action figures and dolls in stores and stuff like that, you never really imagine seeing yourself there, so it’s just a dream come true to see something like this – especially at a store as iconic as Toys“R”Us.”

“We are so excited to see the sheer excitement from Cody Simpson fans who came out to support the launch of his very first doll and to get their doll personally signed by him,” said Scott Bachrach, President of The Wish Factory. “My team and I worked extremely hard to produce the dolls to resemble Cody in every way and I can certainly say that we exceeded our own expectations. Together with Toys“R”Us as our exclusive launch partner, we’re excited to make the holiday season a bit merrier for Cody’s biggest fans. Now they can take a piece of their favorite pop idol home with them.”

“There is no better place than Toys“R”Us to launch the season’s hottest products that top kids’ wish lists,” said Lisa Harnisch, Vice President, General Merchandising Manager, Toys“R”Us, U.S. “We are very excited to officially launch the Cody Simpson dolls exclusively at Toys“R”Us stores and Toysrus.com.”

The launch of the Cody Simpson doll line includes two basic dolls, both 11.5 inches. The fashion dolls look just like Cody, complete with sculpted hair resembling his signature side-swept surfer-do. One doll features a Gold Coast Tee and Khakis, and the other doll features a rockin’ Denim Jacket and Black Pants. Both have bendable joints and each includes a pair of shoes, sunglasses, microphone, guitar pick and lanyard.

The Cody Simpson basic dolls will retail for $16.99 each. For additional product information and to check out the entire line of Cody Simpson products, by The Wish Factory, visit www.toysrus.com.

This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more.
