I bought this 'Rescue Knights' set, with a PVC dragon and no knights, while I was in a supermarket a while ago (checks image - no, there's no date!) . . . photo says this-last May? I thought it was earlier than that!
The mag' is credited to Viacom (owner of the Paw Patrol property) and Spin Master, who might be responsible for the toys, while the toy's card is actually credited to Story House Egmont Ltd.?
It's a bit of fun, and you can see there's provision for up to three placings of the flag (the only connection with Paw Patrol being the sticker), or up to three flags. Quite sure this is bought in by Egmont from an anonymous factory in Guangdong or Szechwan and has no connection with Spin Master! Equally sure it appears on other-branded kid's magazine elsewhere in the world with other flag-stickers, and maybe toys other than a dragon?Puppies, kittens, foals and piglets all being popular, if my non-scientific, and erratically occasional surveying of the kid's magazine-rack in supermarkets or newsagents is anything to go by! Indeed, the provided dragon doesn't fit in the locker behind the folding walls (the door is non-functional detailing), but other figures/accessories would?
Similar to a small fort made by Lido in the US, but unmarked and with different joints - slot & tab rather than Lido's opposing studs - but also sourced in the 'States, is this rather too-bright to photograph little fort. Sheet polyethylene, about 5-inches on a side with another non-working door sculpted in one of the sides; can anyone put a name to it?
