Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrives on DVD this month and Rubie’s is celebrating with its portfolio of Star Wars dress-up costumes, including Rey in child sizing. The most popular adult Star Wars costumes include three female characters that have proved to be very popular, so make sure you are stocked up and don’t forget to cater for all of those female Star Wars fans. As May the fourth approaches, Rubie’s is going all in to celebrate Star Wars day and as social media prepares to get set alight with everything Star Wars related, fans will be sure to be getting involved in all kinds of sci-fi dress-up. This is a great opportunity to push brand awareness with everyone taking to social media to share their Star Wars day experiences. Rubie’s will be posting its own Star Wars pet costume video on social media, which shows a stormtrooper family with their Darth Vader dog, so keep your eyes peeled for that one. Next up, Solo: A Star Wars Story hits cinemas on May 25th this year with a planned DVD release this August. The film sees Han Solo meet his mighty future co-pilot, Chewbacca and encounters the notorious gambler, Lando Calrissian, in a journey that will set the course of one of the Star Wars saga’s most unlikely heroes.

Hasbro 0208 5691234 This season sees Hasbro launch two new hero TV lines ready for AW 2018 under the ever-popular and ever-innovative Play-Doh brand. Embracing the pre-school passion for role-play, kids can imagine themselves as barbers, fashioning silly haircuts and a shave, as well as aspiring ice cream connoisseurs and have fun with their own imaginary ice cream. Based on the all-time classic Play-Doh Fuzzy Pumper Barber Shop sets, the Play-Doh Buzz ‘n Cut Barber Shop set comes with two character thimbles that can be styled up with braids, bows, moustaches and other accessories. Kids can place one of the two in the chair and turn the crank to grow hilarious hair or a bristly beard. Kids can even give them a trim or shave it all off with the electric buzzer, which makes real buzzing sounds when it touches the PlayDoh compound. For the first time in its history, Hasbro has developed the Play-Doh Kitchen Creations Ultimate Swirl Ice Cream Maker to be able to create two dishes or cones of Play-Doh ice cream at the same time. Kids can simply load Play-Doh colours into the ice cream dispenser, place two dishes or cones underneath, then press the lever to make it spin and press out amazing pretend ice cream swirls. This cool three-in-one ice cream machine comes with lots of accessories to spark creativity. Featured product
