40 years of Mr Benn

[Captain Flack]

The new catalogue arrived this morning with news that to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Mr Benn, David McKee's original books are to be republished.
Are there any plans for a new Mr Benn figure from RHD to celebrate this milestone??? :)

Happy 40th Mr Benn

[MattB]

We are indeed looking into a couple of Mr Benn figures for this year.......we have the Balloonist and Gladiator still to do:)

all the best MattB:D

[Windy Emma]

are any of the old figures going to be made again or are they retired?

[MattB]

There is no plan for such....we do have a few more figures to achieve yet though....:D

all the best MattB:)

What a great idea. A special Mr Benn piece to celebrate his 40th birthday! An excellent birthday prezzie for my brother, a Mr Benn collector, who is also 40 this year and the problem of what to get him for his birthday solved. Please, make this happen.

It is highly likely to happen......Clive Juster who represents David Mackee (Writer, Creator and Illustrator of Mr Benn) is super keen also...:D

all the best MattB:)

Just what I wanted to hear Matt, thanks.

Glad to hear that too. I hope that the complete set of characters will be achieved in time. The Balloonist, The Gladiator and hopefully The Prisoner.
Maybe even a shop front style of 52 Festive Road.

Its all Birthdays this year..Our 25th...Dennis' 60th....Gordon Murray's 90th...and Mr Benn's 40th....So it goes without saying I can see that a Birthday bash would be most appropriate..:D:D...;)

all the best MattB:)
