Palisades Toys to produce a special Rizzo the Rat figure tied to its annual support of the TODAY Show Toy Drive

Elkridge, MD (November 11, 2003)-Palisades Toys proudly announces today a very special holiday promotion. An exclusive holiday themed Rizzo the Rat action figure from the wildly popular Muppets Action Figure series will be made available to Palisades Collectors Club members. To join the club, visit www.PalisadesToys.com.

The figure features the popular Muppet character in a special holiday themed outfit, complete with Santa hat, and packaged in a special ready-to-mail package. Collectors can just fill out the name of their gift recipient and drop it in the mail. A perfect holiday gift!

As a special promotion, Palisades is also announcing that for every Rizzo figure sold, the company will donate an action figure to the TODAY Show Toy Drive.

"There are two really big reasons for this promotion," Palisades President and CEO Michael Horn commented. "First, we had an overwhelming amount of requests for our holiday figure that we gave out last year. That one was a giveaway, not ever intended for sale, but still we had a flood of calls asking for it. The other is to support, once again, the TODAY Show Toy Drive. We started in with this program in 2002 and have since designated this as our national holiday donation program."

The Holiday Rizzo figures will be available in November. They will be $15.00 each, which includes shipping and handling, as well as the matching donation.
