The two companies will work together to offer both Back to Basics and Amazon.com (AMZN) customers the best possible experience in shopping for classic toys, bringing back more classics and introducing new items.
The deal adds more classic, high-quality toys to the vast selection of specialties already available at Amazon.com's Toys & Video Games Store, which has been rated No. 1 among online toy stores in a number of surveys.
Customers will find log-cabin-building sets in original-style canisters, wood creativity theaters, talking Raggedy Ann dolls, musical instrument sets and pedal-drive, ride-on dump trucks and police cars styled after those from the 1930s.
