Jim Henson New E-Store Adds Special-Edition Items

The Jim Henson Company has launched an official e-commerce website, where limited-edition product is being offered for some of its hit brands.

The limited-edition products include a Dr. Romanelli/Fraggle Rock art print poster created by Los Angeles designer Dr.Romanelli; poster-like magnets featuring Farscape imagery of Moya and Crichton’s memorable line “This is Your Playground"; a show poster from the off-Broadway stage show of “Stuffed and Unstrung;” and the first 50 Dinosaur Train Buddy InterAction figures available in the U.S.

The e-store is at www.henson.com; it is powered by MashON and offers distinct storefronts for the different brands including Fraggle Rock, Dinosaur Train, Sid the Science Kid, The Dark Crystal, Farscape, Labyrinth, Skatelab, Jim Henson Designs and Stuffed and Unstrung. Each storefront offers brand specific merchandise such as T-shirts, iPhone skins, greeting cards, notebooks and posters with additional merchandise categories including toys, DVDs and books. Pajanimals and The String Doll Gang storefronts will go live July 1. Consumer designed products manufactured on-demand, include apparel, device skins, posters, invitations and greeting cards with more to be delivered over the next few months.

“We and our colleagues on the digital side at Henson have been working together for some time toward a cutting edge e-commerce solution, and now through our partnership with MashON, we can offer Henson fans the quality and creativity they expect on a wide range of product through a user-friendly purchasing platform,” says Melissa Segal, senior vice president of global consumer products for The Jim Henson Company.
