Working on the product development of awesome doll collections at Charisma Brands does have advantages and with the recent addition of the Girl Scouts license, which includes dolls, costumes, doll crafting fun and more, I had the opportunity along with Peggy Vicioso to visit the Girl Scout headquarters in New York City. We were in town for the 2011 Toy Fair celebrating the very successful debut of our Adora 4ever Friends Girl Scout dolls and before heading back home we made a trip over to Girl Scout Headquarters to check out their museum and sift through their archives for some future product inspiration! All I can say is WOW! I want be a Girl Scout again! INSPIRING 4 SURE!
Here's some behind the scenes pix of things we found very inspiring and will be using for product development on future Girl Scout dolly delights!
