The red neon sign says "ROBOT" but when I first took this shot, the angle I had it in only showed the "ROB" and it looked too much like "ROBLOX" and I had to retake it lmao.

Anyway

I would also like to apologise for my sporadic comments and postings - when we're not out and about I have to battle 'H' to the computer as currently driving trains on Roblox is extremely important and he must alway finish his shift!!

Applause for Peanuts - Bijou Planks 334/365 by Mayor Paprika

61 27

From our Peanuts plush collection. This is a Snoopy Flying Ace plush from Applause.

When we opened our collectibles store in the early 90s, Applause was one of the first vendors we established an account with. Applause carried a wide range of toys and novelties, including a LOT of Peanuts. That was definitely a selling point for us. Applause was very kind to us and always treated us like a major customer instead of a little store on the Gulf Coast. We were sad when they went out of business and will always have very fond memories of the company. 😊

The history of the Applause toy company is a story of massive pop-culture success in the 1980s and 90s, followed by a rapid financial decline in the early 2000s. Applause was best known for its high-quality plush toys and PVC figurines. We were hopeful when we applied for a vendor position with them, as Applause held the licenses for some of the world’s most recognizable characters, including The Smurfs, The California Raisins, and the Disney library. And, Peanuts. Did we mention Peanuts?

The company was founded in 1966 by Wallace Berrie as The Wallace Berrie Company. Initially, it was a modest novelty gift business, but its fortunes changed dramatically in 1979 when Berrie acquired the worldwide rights to The Smurfs. At the time, The Smurfs were relatively unknown outside of Europe. Berrie released PVC figurines for $1.50 each, and they became a global phenomenon, selling millions of units and establishing the company as a major player in character licensing.

Flush with cash from the Smurfs success, the company looked to expand. In 1982, it purchased the "Applause" division from Knickerbocker Toys. This was a strategic coup, as it came with licenses for Disney, Sesame Street, and Raggedy Ann & Andy. Oh, and Peanuts!

In 1986, the company officially changed its name to Applause Inc. to focus on its identity as a premium gift and toy manufacturer. During this period, Applause became ubiquitous in gift shops, greeting card stores, and fast-food promotions.

Applause became the "king of licenses," securing rights for The California Raisins, another massive cultural hit in the late 80s. Applause was also timely positioned to produce plush and figurines for the "Disney Renaissance" films (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Aladdin).

Next up, Applause gained the license for Looney Tunes an produced an amazing variety of high-quality figures and plush associated with Warner Bros. One month, they ran a special and we purchased enough Looney Tunes product so that we could get a free custom Looney Tunes display. We still cherish that display and it is in the main toy room:

I'm sure we have a better shot of the display somewhere when it's not so 'full', but you can see the design here. It is a series of wood crates designed to be stacked akimbo, like they're almost to fall apart. Very Looney style.

The crates have 'ACME' stenciled on them at different places. There are little nooks that contain red round tubes like dynamite sticks and there is a very large painted plastic lit fuse with a "BOOM!" effect that goes on the very top.

Currently, in addition to various toys including the Snoopy plush being photographed in our current series, the display houses the Bijou Planks West theater stage and the Seinfeld apartment set.

Applause went on to secure licensing for The Simpsons, Star Wars, Star Trek, Garfield, and many others. And, Peanuts. I'm sure we mentioned Peanuts. 😉

Another aspect we loved about Applause was that they were known for higher production values than standard toy aisle fare. Their stuffed animals often featured better fabrics and detailing, positioning them as "gifts" rather than just disposable toys.

In late 1995, Applause merged with Dakin Inc., another legendary plush manufacturer (famous for the "Garfield" plush with suction cups). The merger was intended to create a toy industry giant, but the company soon faced significant headwinds.

The gift market began to shrink as big-box retailers (like Walmart and Target) squeezed out the smaller Hallmark-style gift shops where Applause thrived.

In addition, the culture was becoming increasingly 'collectible conscious' with various booms such as comic books, Beanie Babies, and baseball cards happening. As a result, the cost of maintaining top-tier licenses skyrocketed.

So, by the late 90s, the company was heavily leveraged. Despite continued sales, the debt load from acquisitions and operations became unmanageable.

The company’s end was sudden and tragic. In 2004, Applause Inc. filed for liquidation bankruptcy. And, terribly sad, just prior to the filing, the company's CEO, Bob Solomon, tragically committed suicide as it became clear the company could not be saved.

The company’s assets were auctioned off. The "Applause" brand name and intellectual property were purchased by Russ Berrie & Company (a former competitor) for a fraction of their peak value.

The brand has changed hands several times since the original company folded, existing primarily as a label rather than an active manufacturer. Russ Berrie & Co. eventually renamed itself Kid Brands, Inc. and divested its gift business.

In 2018, the modern toy company Jazwares (known for Roblox and Squishmallows toys) acquired the rights to both the Russ Berrie and Applause brands.

So, today, vintage Applause items—specifically the PVC figurines and 1980s/90s plush—are popular collector's items. If you check the tags of high-quality Peanuts, Disney, or Looney Tunes plush from that era, you will frequently see the Applause logo, a testament to their dominance in the 20th-century character toy market.

We miss them.

A year of the shows and performers of the Bijou Planks Theater.

In our toy collecting, plush is not a strong point and that remains true for our Peanuts collection. The 2001 'Many Lives of Snoopy' series from McDonald's Japan is a plush series that we featured from 2020-2021. Because each plush figure was themed, it was easy to create specific scenes.

Also, in Japan we did pick up a nice series of small plush, about 16mm. These plush seem to have the same origin though there are different tags. The Law Label (The label that is sewn to plush toys containing copyright and materials information.) always has 'Peanuts' and a copyright for United Feature Syndicate. The cardboard tag labels vary with many carrying the 'RM' label. All of the plush were manufactured in Hong Kong. So, we think a Japanese company (Perhaps Nakajima Corporation) manufactured these and released them to various distributors.

Most of these plush have no distinguishing themes or names but rather standard figures released in a variety of colors. We've photographed a couple from this series here:

So, rather than creating scenes with stories, we decided to feature these lovely plush among the Peanuts collection and provide some fun information.

Tacca's Avatars Zepeto, Club Cooee and IMVU by Tacca Chantrieri

These are some of my avatar looks in Zepeto, Club Cooee and IMVU, which are social fashion metaverses. They are not as expansive as Second Life, but Zepeto and IMVU both have amazing avatar creation aspects. * Zepeto, Club Cooee and IMVU all have avatars with movement, however AI was used for some of the avatar movement shown here.

I also explore Highrise, Avaland, and Roblox. However, I am not in those worlds as much as Second Life.

Yes, I was once a member. yeah my profile name on flickr is the one on roblox (Monkeysinmypants8738), but that shows one reason why it isnt convientent. YOU CANT DELETE ACCOUNTS, well you can but you have to be banned. Another reason why i quit, the scamming of the abministrators. they are just retards. they tempt users to buy points or "tickets" or "robux" for spending von virtual Sh*t. or like builders club, which has to be purchased, is a load of BS. one account, one place to customize. BULL. the event of trying to find useful scripts is like trying to find the holy grail or something. (even if it exists, it wont be easy to find!) when i was trying to custimize places on the game, i used lots of free models, (Yeah you heard me!) and my computer had to be serviced because of hackers. now if you dont understand this, you obviously havent played the game. just please dontleave hate comments, dont listen to people who are addicted to the game, and last but not least, DONT PLAY THE GAME
