Legendary Beatle Paul McCartney gets into the gift business?
For the first time in his career, Paul McCartney has agreed to license one of his songs for a talking product. Details of the product are confidential, but Kamhi Report can exclusively reveal that it is a new patented gift concept that will be released in time for Christmas. Major retail chains are chomping at the bit to carry it. He loves us yeah, yeah, yeah….

The 3 Chipmunks are back!
Remember Alvin, Simon and Theodore? I grew up watching these guys when I was a kid, and now Fox is bringing them to the big screen in an all-new CGI adventure this Christmas. The 2007 chipmunks dress in cool hip-hop outfits, and sing Justin Timberlake style music that is sure to be a hit with teens and tweens. Even I was tapping my foot while listening to the top-secret audio track!

Who is this little guy on my pen?
He’s about 2 inches tall, and his lips are moving, and he’s speaking to me! Most people know I manufacture my own line of talking pens, but even I’m impressed with this new invention. Imagine ANY character sculpted atop a talking pen, with lips that actually move in perfect synchronization with the audio? Expect to see these pens hitting the market in 2008.

Trends and happenings just coming up on the radar screen.

What do GI Joe, Thundercatz, and Bratz have in common?
You might see Hollywood films with these characters as stars, and follow-up tie-ins at toy stores. Hollywood is looking hard at making toys-to-movies a standard business practice. He-Man, Voltron, and even Monopoly (!) are under consideration. It’s helping to make companies like Hasbro and Mattel into giants. Will Barbie be a future screen queen? I wouldn’t be surprised. The whole story is here.

Do you have Mattel products on your shelves?
If you do, keep your eyes open. Mattel has recalled over 70 products with either loose magnets or lead paint. The company is doing its best to work with both consumers and retailers, but only 8000 consumers among millions of customers have replied, and very few of its products have been returned. The situation was uncovered in England, but the problem exists anywhere Mattel products are sold or used. Click here for details. Manufacturers source their products all over the world (read: China), and that’s a big part of the problem. What’s the best way to solve it? Count on manufacturers, faced with becoming potential “deep pockets” targets, to proactively deal with their suppliers. In short, get the lead out or lose our business.

Toys talking to one another?
You won’t see it this season, but you’ll probably see it soon. Nokia, the inventor and biggest player in Bluetooth technology, has developed a low-power version called “Wibree” that will make this application practical for a host of new uses, including such things as your GI Joes recognizing other (toy) friendlies or enemies nearby.  Here’s the story.
