Knitted T Rex

Our knitted T Rex has been our best selling toy since its launch in 2006 and was instrumental in making Best Years the company it is today.

We used to be a toy wholesaler. We had traditional plush and in particular the Moptop dogs. Our Moptops were extremely popular and we translated the design in to many different formats 

We thought the design was so good we wanted to translate it not just in to different formats, but extend it in to different characters so we got the Moptop cat.

At this stage we were quite happy. We were a soft toy wholesaler just like many others, but we had a solid and distinctive selling design. But then we thought, how about if we use different materials, what would it look like? So we started experimenting with knitted material.

And then everything about our business started to change. Almost immediately we realised the strength of using knitted material so we rapidly developed in to having 2 distinct ranges. A traditional wholesale soft toy range which we mostly sold in to multiple accounts and a range of wholesale knitted toys which the independent retailers liked.

We continued to concentrate on building up the knitted range and very soon hit on the idea of knitted dinosaurs. However as we concentrated more on wholesaling knitted toys rather than our normal wholesale toys we finally we had to make the decision. Were we a knitted toy company servicing Independent retailers or do we stay with traditional plush and the multiples. And the rest, as they say, is history

We are looking forward to introducing new knitted dinosaurs in autumn 2012 and hopefully perhaps another limited edition knitted T Rex

Thak you for your business. We really appreciate it!
