All New Materials' Deglingos Make Top Toy Award Finals

    MONTCLAIR, NJ, December 12, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Deglingos , the quirky crew of plush from All New Materials, has just received the honor from the Toy Industry Association (TIA) of being chosen as a finalist for the 2009 Toy of the Year Awards (TOTY).

The surge in popularity of The Deglingos secured All New Materials a slot for its eclectic designer plush as a finalist in the Specialty Toy Product of the Year category for the toy industry's most prestigious annual industry awards.

The TOTY Award winners will be announced at a gala presentation dinner held during the American International Toy Fair in New York City from February 15-18.

Ryan Hamilton, vice president of All New Materials, exclusive US distributor of The Deglingos, said, "We are thrilled to be nominated. It is a tremendous honor. It is especially gratifying that the consumer success of The Deglingos has also been acknowledged by our peers in the industry."

The Deglingos (MSRP $14.99 and up) are French designer multi-cloth character plush. The cast features 10 different characters, each with its own distinct personality and combination of high-end fabrics of varying patterns, textures, and colors. The uniquely lovable creations have developed a fan following from newborns to adults, including celebrities and celebrity babies.

Recently, The Deglingos were awarded Dr. Toy's 2008 Best Picks product award, and have been featured in Cookie Magazine and Stressfree Living Magazine, as well as top blogspots such as Mom Reviews, Dashin Fashion, Babble, Life More Interesting, and Parenthood.com.

Hamilton said, "We have expanded our Original Deglingos line to include Baby Deglingos items, such as rattles and discovery toys, as well as Giant Deglingos to appeal to the larger plush lover."
