PRESS: The characters represent a contemporary, design-led take on pop culture and retro classics. The brand looks at old favourites with new eyes, and gives our cultural icons a 'cute' and modern twist. As the figurines reflect much-loved childhood heroes of our time, the range has longevity that ties in with the characters' long term appeal. And above all, Weenicons rock! The brand is proof that it is possible to be cute and cool at the same time. It's going to be a Weeni World!
