Dervish Toys Owner Secures Quality Manufacturing
January 12, 2006

After two years of creative development and another two years of production "massaging" on the Faery Folk collectible dolls (R) line, Dervish Toys Owner- Charles Erdman- secures consistent manufacturing. After a business trip to Hong Kong and Southern China, Erdman returned with greater confidence in the ability of his manufacturing partner.

"One of the greatest challenges we've had is getting consistency from our Chinese manufacturer. This seems to be a common sentiment among other doll and toy production companies that I've spoken with. I just didn't realize how perplexing the communication between two different cultures could be," stated Erdman.

"It was fun taking the dolls we had so carefully crafted and to pull on their arms, hit their bodies against a table and generally rough them up to see where the construction would break down. I was tenative at first as they had become so precious to us. However, I quickly got in to the spirit of 'quality assurance.' I'm now confident in our product's ability to take the punishment of a six year old."

Inspired by countless faery and folk tales from around the world, The Legends of The Faery Folk (R) line launches this May with six visually unique collectible dolls that span a range of cultures. Each doll comes with a booklet that tells its personal story, and contains a craft project that child and parent can create together. The Faery Folk stories are updated on their website (www.TheFaeryFolk.com), so parents can easily download, print, and read them to their children.
