Hoops and Yoyo (and Piddles)

At a l's request, I'm putting up this recent pic of Hoops and Yoyo (and Piddles) that my brother took. They formed the birthday troupe that I sent to him in Illinois (his other present is a caricaturized figure of Darth Vadar; I never thought I'd ever consider Darth Vadar adorable!).

Piddles is looking very pleased to be in plush version along with her larger pals, and Hoops must be ecstatic that he's finally the largest of them all. Here's hoping this trio of cuteness (the zaniest, wackiest, singing and dancing characters Hallmark's ever had) will get to our shores soon.
