The toy line will initially feature six of the 10 StinkyKids characters. The four others will roll out in 2010. Each plush doll includes a matching trading card and collectible bookmark. The plush is manufactured in Korea. "Partnering with such an incredible company as Nordstrom to launch our new plush doll line is an amazing opportunity and one that I am very proud of," says Britt Menzies, creator and chief executive officer of StinkyKids. "I am so pleased that Nordstrom will be the first to introduce our lovable StinkyKids plush dolls and look forward to many more launches within the StinkyKids product, apparel and merchandise lines in all Nordstrom stores." A self-published book series is also on its way for the brand, with the first title "The StinkyKids and the Runaway Scissors" to hit retail in January. StinkyKids donates 10 percent of its profits to Books, Bears and Bonnets, a charity for those suffering with cancer. The kids' brand is currently seeking licensing partners for the plush doll line and toys, as well as a publisher for the books series.
