Puffkin Ponderings!
for November, 1999
brought to you by www.puffkinfriends.com   

Much anticipated November 1st "Big Announcement" turns out to be a new logo and tag style.

Although most Puffkin collectors were hoping for a big retirement or a new product line, Swibco surprised us all by announcing: "Starting November 1st, 1999, all Puffkins will be twice as nice! Now represented by a new Puffkins logo, all tags, promotional items and this web site will be distinguished by these two hearts. This means that all old and new Puffkin styles will feature the new logo on a lavender shield style swing tag. ***THE CHANGE IS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY!***" stated the www.swibco.com web page. Below is a picture of the new hang tag.

So what does this mean for the serious collector? Well, most people will want to finish their collections with the 3rd generation, lavender, heart shaped swing tags - so we should see several people looking for a few specific Puffkins. Also, since the four newbies were just announced in September (Gertie, Autumn, Roswell and Buzz) should be in high demand since it is reasonable to assume that only a few production runs of these four will have the older, heart shapedtag.
