FAO Schwarz Becomes Ultimate Destination for Gabby’s Dollhouse Fans

Do you have a Gabby's Dollhouse Fan at home? If so, I have some exciting news for you! FAO Schwarz, New York City’s most iconic toy store, just announced an exclusive partnership with Universal Products & Experiences to become the ultimate destination for Gabby’s Dollhouse fans this summer. Starting July 1st, FAO Schwarz will be the only retailer to offer Spin Master’s newest playset, the Gabby Cat Friend Ship before it launches globally in August. Fans can also shop an exciting assortment of accessories and toys including Spin Master’s award-winning toy line, Gabby’s Bluetooth Headphones from Kid Designs, Gabby’s Dollhouse Necklace Set from Tara Toy, the My First Puzzle Book by Phidal, Inc. and more. And on July 6th, FAO Schwarz and Rockefeller Center will play host to a free, family-friendly event, GABBY ON THE GO!, a cat-tastic new experience full of fun activities inspired by DreamWorks Animation’s popular animated preschool series on Netflix, Gabby’s Dollhouse. The event will take over Rockefeller Plaza where fans can also enjoy the FAO Schwarz window displays featuring Gabby and friends.

Disclosure: some information in this post, including wording, comes directly from the FAO Schwarz Gabby on the Go press release.

So as I mentioned, this fantastic (or should I say, CAT-tastic?) event at FAO Schwarz will offer an extensive assortment of highly-anticipated, must-have toys, books, costumes and more, starting July 1st (while supplies last), including:

Spin Master’s Gabby Cat Friend Ship, $59.99

Here's a short description of it: Ready for a cat-venture, all aboard the Gabby Cat Friend Ship. As featured in DreamWorks Animation’s hit series, this all-new play experience expands the Gabby’s Dollhouse ecosystem. Join Gabby Girl (with two outfit options) and Captain Mercat on the upper deck, complete with color changing pool and diving board. Explore below deck that transforms from day to night with a light up disco ball/chandelier, dance floor, and photobooth. Expand the fun with Carnival and Spa deluxe rooms (sold separately) that attach to the ship or connect to the Purrfect Dollhouse via the diving board.
