MASK-ARADE
Thanks to Mask-arade, fans of hit show Breaking Bad no longer have to shave their head and recite “I am the one who knocks” to successfully replicate the look of Walter White’s alter ego Heisenberg. Mask-arade’s character face masks depicting
Heisenberg and his sidekick, Jesse Pinkman are proving to be big sellers this year for the company and are proving an eff ective accessory to a dress up. Due to popular demand,
Mask-arade will be adding Los Pollos Hermanos owner Gus Fring to the range.
The range looks set to
remain popular among fans with the arrival of the Breaking Bad spin-off show titled Better Call Saul, following the exploits of the crooked lawyer Saul Goodman, which is set to air in early 2015. 01926 814 292

professional looking production, the Pop-up Sooty Puppet Show boasts
a Sooty puppet in its very own puppeteer box adapted from the packaging. Sooty pops straight out of the box and comes complete with a magic wand and water gun, perfect for causing mischief. The collection will be
