| In
1994, Robert Harrop and his team were seeking a new range for their
collectors. The aim was to develop a line of collectibles which
reflected the idea of 'Britishness'. Robert Harrop's personal
choice was to delight the readers of Britain's most popular comics:
Beano and Dandy. The characters in these famous comics have delighted
generations of children. As Robert Harrop said "Perhaps it was a
personal thing, but to me the Beano and Dandy Comics are as much a part
of my 'Britishness' as meat and two veg!" In April 1994, Robert Harrop telephoned the Beano offices in Dundee. The management of the Beano were interested in having their comic characters available as figurines. A meeting was arranged and soon after Dennis the Menace and his numerous pals became part of the Robert Harrop Designs family. Matt Buckley, Robert Harrop's stepson took on the task of creating the first Beano figurines. Matt, with other members of his studio team, created the whole Beano and Dandy range. |
