Giebelstadt (Germany), September 13th, 2005
Once again HandyGamesTM cuts the edge: As first mobile game character ever Poopsy, the cute pig of the bestselling Townsmen series, is available as plush toy. Thanks to the incredible success of the strategy series Townsmen 1 and 2, Poopsy has reached some sort of cult status worldwide.

About Kösener Spielzeug Vertriebs GmbH
For 90 years, toys have been produced at Bad Kösen (Germany). These long years of traditional craftsmanship provide the basis for the production.
We put special emphasis on naturalistic appearance, good quality and on the fact that people enjoy playing with our products which are manufactured carefully by hand. The Halle Fine Arts College, Burg Giebichenstein (Germany), has been accompanying this development. The Schache family who are managing the firm nowadays fell obliged to this tradition. All our cuddly toys are still being produced at Bad Kösen. Our graduated designers develop each their own and unmistakable style for realising new animals. We also fulfil customised preferences.
In 2000, the SILKE brand was integrated into our portfolio: a wide range of rag dolls and cuddly animals in superior qualities, intended for smaller children, which is now being produced at Bad Kösen, too. The SILKE brand will be continued in the excellent Bad Kösen tradition, and it ideally complements our naturalistic toy animals. For further information visit our website http://www.koesener.de
