One Handsome, Trustworty Mascot

Leave a Comment

Billy Blazes was a big toy for Fisher-Price in 2001. Fisher-Price ordered one, and then about 2 weeks later ordered 6 more.

Billy Blazes was a well put together mascot – great hat, great body, jacket – and oh my goodness, look at the shoes!!!…and the face, kind, trustworthy and handsome. No wonder the toy was such a hit!
He was one of the Rescue Heroes. A marvelous team of toys.

It was exciting to be making Billy Blazes. He is a fireman. We were actually in production making him on 9/11. What a great toy to give comfort to children.

Mascots and Community

Where do we bump shoulders with strangers?

Where do we just get silly!

When we’re in the presence of a mascot, that’s where!

Where mascots are, community emerges, people gather.

It doesn’t take great talent, superior intellect or an educated eye to joke, to have fun and to pass the time of day in the presence of a mascot. When a mascot is around we have a reason to connect.

A mascot is the perfect, goofy and generous host.

While we may think a mascot is merely a marketing tool, really, a mascot is a hand extended in community.

Organizations that put in the long hours of imaginative, strategic planning, design collaboration and dollars into a mascot program is really holding out their hand in joy, trust and community.
