Are You Ready? Shrek The Final Chapter Opens May 21!
A decade ago DreamWorks achieved box office gold with Shrek, the CGI animated feature based on Caldecott Award-winner William Steig's Shrek! with a sardonic sensibility that skewered Disneyfied fairy tales and star voice turns by Mike Meyers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz, the film became a pop culture sensation and spawned two sequels. Now, the third sequel, Shrek: The Final Chapter, arrives in theaters on May 21, and Diamond helps your store profit happily ever after with a selection of Shrek Merchandise!
The ogre Shrek has built himself a life with his wife Fiona, his children, and his best friend Donkey, but a deal with Rumpelstiltskin goes wrong and sends Shrek into a world where he never saved Fiona from the dragon in the first film, where she never found that he was her true love, and where the depraved Lord Farquaad, defeated in the first film, continues to rule over the land of Far Far Away with an iron fist. This will be Shrek's greatest adventure, and fans of the series will be interested in purchasing related Shrek merchandise that's coming out this summer!
The Shrek excitement began on May 1, Free Comic Book Day, with Ape Entertainment's FCBD 2010 Kizoic Shrek & Penguins of Madagascar, which introduced the worlds of the Shrek and Madagascar films to comic book readers. This is followed by Shrek Forever After: The Prequel (FEB100656E, $6.95), a story that explores the background to the upcoming film, and then Shrek #1 (MAR100695E, $3.95) and #2 (APR100722E, $3.95) in the months that follow as Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey have all-new adventures in the lands of make-believe.
For collectors looking for a new piece for an office desk, bookshelf, or display should be pleased with the Shrek Forever After: Shrek and Donkey Statue (MAR101556U, $249.99), a 15"-tall statue based on the characters' original CGI models.
Playmates offers a number of toys with the characters from the blockbuster films. Fans can find characters such as Shrek, Donkey, Puss-in-Boots, and many others in the Shrek Forever After Basic Plushes (DEC098355J, $65.52), and the Shrek Forever After Smack Backs (DEC098354J, $58.50) are larger squeezable 6" plushes with voice chips.
Customers can also build an army of Shrek rubber figures with the Shrek Swamp Mini-Figures (DEC098356J, $65.62), which stand 1" tall and come in five-figure bags. The Shrek Swamp Buddies (DEC098358J, $72.80) are taller at 2" tall, and they feature a kid-friendly deformed style similar to the Star Wars Galactic Heroes or Marvel Super Hero Squad figures. With the Shrek Ogre Attack Disco Balls (DEC098357J, $81.90), kids can take their armies of ogres into battle with these cool battle balls. And children may be interested in the Shrek Kids and Playsets (DEC098360J, $54.60), which recreate Shrek's triplets as dolls that can drink from bottles, belch, and wet!
