What do Jeremy Clarkson, Gary Lineker, Jonathan Ross and the Play-Doh Fun Factory Playset all have in common? They’re all celebrating turning 50 this year… and as seen on one of Jonathan’s last shows, a series of fun Play-Doh modelling compound models have been created to mark the occasion.
The iconic Play-Doh brand commissioned Hollywood sculptor Stephen Hicklin to create a visual masterpiece, four 3D sculptures of iconic British celebrities that are also celebrating their 50th birthday this year, Bono, Jeremy Clarkson, Gary Lineker, and Jonathan Ross.
‘We wanted to celebrate with something fun and instantly recognisable, just like the 50th Birthday Play-Doh Fun Factory playset. The celebrity creations do just that!’ said Charlotte Higgins Play-Doh Brand Manager.
Having stood the test of time, today’s kids love playing with this classic toy, using some of its brand new elements, including an extended handle for extruding Play-Doh modelling compound and a spinning dial with eight great shapes, including a triangle, bat and flower – feed in the Play-Doh modelling compound and let imaginations take over!
The 50th Birthday Fun Factory Spin ‘n Store playset comes complete with plastic cutting tool, factory presser and two 2oz (85g) cans of Play-Doh compound, and is available nationwide priced at £7.99 RRP (suitable for children ages 3 plus).
