Yesterday Total Licensing popped in on Disney's Christmas retail showcase, which was interesting to see, product-wise, and some trends were confirmed, etc. It goes to show that in the midst of warm weather (in this hemisphere anyway) you have to always be planning ahead. Two members of the team are in South Korea, at the Seoul Character Fair. Today, (Friday) 150,000 small children 'invade' the show, in a clever move to see exactly what children will gravitate to, months before anything reaches shelves.Not sure how well that would go down at other shows...
