Palisades Toys announces Pink Panther™ Action Figures!
Elkridge, MD (December 1, 2003)—Palisades Toys is proud to officially announce the unveiling of its newest action figure licensing program: The Pink Panther™
“Once again, Palisades is fortunate to have landed an iconic property to make merchandise from,” Palisades President and CEO Michael Horn said. “The recognition of Pink Panther and all of its characters is fantastic. And what MGM has been doing to keep the characters active is bonus. These figures should land on everyone’s pop culture hot list next year!”

Bold and innovative, this hip cat first appeared in the opening credits of the 1964 Blake Edwards film, The Pink Panther. The opening cartoon captivated audiences and soon the character was featured in 1968 on NBC, which ran over 140 animated shorts. A second television show debuted in 1984, which featured many new characters and ran for over a decade. In celebration of the character’s 40th Anniversary, Palisades presents an all-new series of articulated action figures!

One of the main adversaries of the Pink Panther, The Man often found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, at odds with the hip hero!
