PRODUCTS

Olszewski Disney POKITPALS®

The first four of the Olszewski Disney POKITPALS® became immediate hits with collectors when Disneyland began selling them at the Park stores a month ago.  The second set of 4 designs is NOW available at the Disneyland Park.  These include:  Sleeping Beauty Castle, Disneyland Railroad, Matterhorn, and Haunted Mansion Stretch Painting.  What are PokitPals?  Well, they are the neatest thing and part of Olszewski PokitPalology which is explained further at the www.pokitpals.com website.  Here you will find 8 original Olszewski PokitPals in several inexpensive gift ideal items that serve many different categories.  PokitPals are becoming the new fad allowing one to carry their pills, toothpicks or whatever in their pocket or purse and be "at their finger tips" all of the time.  Olszewski has already created a third set which is scheduled to be released in July 2008.  This particular release includes:  Alice In Wonderland Caterpillar; Tinker Bell on a Mirror; Monorail Mark I; and, Enchanted Tiki Room - Aloha.  To see images of the Olszewski Disney POKITPALS® go to the Olszewski Studios or Disney Gallery web sites.
