Anyone here anymore? At least we know its still in business;-) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday July 11, 7:29 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Action Products International, Inc. Action Products Launches Ultimate Saturn 5 Rocket, Drop Zone(TM) Toys ORLANDO, Fla., July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Educational toy and publishing company, Action Products International, Inc. (Nasdaq: APII - news), launches the Space Voyagers® Ultimate Saturn 5 Rocket and Drop Zone(TM) toy parachute line this week, ready for touchdown on store shelves as soon as Friday. Introduced to positive media and retailer acclaim earlier this February at the American International Toy Fair, both products are significant steps towards strengthening Action Products' already diverse stable of brands. An authentic replica of the historic spacecraft that transported astronauts to the moon on landmark missions such as Apollo XI, the Ultimate Saturn 5 Rocket is the latest addition to Space Voyagers®, the most authentic space toys on earth. Standing nearly three feet tall, the rocket is 1/144th the size of the actual spacecraft and separates into eight sections corresponding to the true stages of an actual moon launch. At the touch of a button, children can experience realistic countdown and launch sound effects and vibrations that simulate the rumble of liftoff. A special educational Astronaut Training Manual is included with the rocket, providing children with all the step-by-step details they need to recreate a historic trip or use their imaginations to plan out a new mission for themselves. The rocket retails at a suggested $44.95. The new Drop Zone(TM) line of ``parachute toys with altitude'' represents the first of several brands Action plans to bring to the market within the next six to twelve months. At a suggested retail price of $5.99 each, this outdoor activity line features tangle-free, rip-stop nylon parachutes just like the real ones, realistic color schemes, and three fully detailed ``jumpers'': the Extreme SkySurfer, a historic Airborne Ranger, and an authentic replica of the Mercury space capsule Friendship 7. The space capsule is the same make as the Liberty Bell capsule, currently on a summer museum tour after a painstaking recovery and restoration from the ocean. Both the Ultimate Saturn 5 Rocket and Drop Zone(TM) are consistent with the standard of quality items retailers have come to expect from Action Products. Designed to stimulate children's imaginations and pique their interest in science and space, both the Ultimate Saturn 5 Rocket and Drop Zone lines are under review by several toy and media organizations, with award announcements expected in the near future.
