Cozy Time is to release a host of new licensed Bagpuss plush toys and accessories in the UK after penning a deal with rights management firm Coolabi.

Set to launch in spring 2013, Cozy Time's newest collection boasts traditional Bagpuss plush toys, along with a number of new exciting products and accessories, designed to appeal to a fresh generation of both children and adults.
