Following on from the success of 2013’s Robo Fish, the toy innovators at Zuru have taken the tech under the sea with the new My Magical Mermaid. Children can place the mermaid in water and her tail will swish from side to side, allowing her to swim. The Mermaids can swim


in two diff erent positions thanks to the weighted metal band included with the set. Kids can wrap it around her tail to make her swim vertically or place it on her head as a tiara to make her swim horizontally. There are three diff erent


My Magical Mermaids available – Pearl, Shelly and Cassie – each one sporting a diff erent hair colour and tail design. The new My Magical Mermaid Play-set gives the mermaids a perfect environment to dip, dive and perform.


The set consists of a clear plastic tank mounted on a base with imitation rocks and coral placed around the bottom. It also features a blue LED light

August is a key month for Simba’s portfolio as the new look Steffi Love hits shelves and arrives on TV for the fi rst time in the brand’s 25- year history. Some may already have seen the promo spots advertising the launch of Steffi ’s fi rst single: Real Good Time. The full two-minute music video goes live across kids TV on August 2nd and will reach more than three quarters of all four to six year old girls by the end of September.


The single itself, along with four others that will be released online every month up until Christmas, have been written by Ray Hedges - who has had seven UK number ones and over 60 top 20 hits.


The distribution


will be handled by Absolute, who has worked with artists such as George Michael, The Backstreet Boys


and Deep Purple. All fi ve songs will be available to download through iTunes and to stream on Spotify. Steffi will be promoting the songs and the brand on a nationwide tour taking place over the summer and into the autumn.


This will be backed


by numerous features and appearances in kids’ magazines and websites. Simba has launched


a brand new Steffi Love website where children and fans can play games, watch videos, as well as learn more about Steffi . The website will also be a portal for all of Steffi ’s social media and will keep


fans up to date on where and when they can see Steffi live in person. By purchasing a Steffi


Love doll, kids get access to the VIP club where they can record their own version of Steffi ’s music video and see behind the scenes footage of Steffi ’s glamorous life. Combining TV, events, online, social and print media in cohesive coverage around the birth of ‘Superstar Steffi ’ – and with four new exclusive TV advertised Superstar doll lines – Simba believes that ‘no retailer can aff ord to be without a Steffi selection this autumn’. 01274 765030
