| If ever there was a time for play, laughter, and family fun, it’s now. Our creative spirit must not only address and solve the needs of our planet, and all who inhabit it, it must also be expressed in the new products that bring joy and peace to our daily lives. WELCOME TO NewFuntiers. If you're an inventor with a playful or nurturing spirit, we can help you license your product ideas to our company clients in the toy, gift, and juvenile products industries. In the coming year we, also, hope to offer inventors the opportunity to sell their new product ideas directly to major toy and game retailers in the US, and around the world, through our new FunScape program, without having to pay the costs associated with “production” and “sales” (i.e. tooling, manufacturing, warehousing, shipping, marketing, etc.) Look for more information about FunScape in the coming months. NewFuntiers is a professional invention, design and development company. We have been creating, designing, and licensing our own innovative product ideas to toy, gift, and baby product companies since 1978. As a result of our success, and close working relationship with our company clients, many of them now provide our name to independent inventors as a trusted inventor's agent, broker, and product representative resource. In that capacity we've been asked to evaluate (screen) new product ideas from independent inventors, and represent those that meet our company client's new product needs and licensing requisites. Please 'click' on the topics in red, on the left side of this page, to learn more about us and how we will work with you to bring your new product ideas to our company clients in the toy, gift and juvenile products industries.

(Check often to see what presentations are coming up, and/or when we'll be out of the office.) -----------New Product Submissions--------- We're now beginning to show new products for next year's product cycle. A new product cycle usually runs from September though the end of May. Due to the uncertainty about the economy, we suspect this year's product cycle will continue through June. Although the summer months are a slow presentation time for us, we will have presentation opportunities with companies who are getting an early start on the next new product cycle. So, this is a good time to be showing us your new product ideas. -----------Out of the Office--------- Paul Lapidus will be out of the office on Friday, June 26th. -----------Holiday/Vacation--------- Our office will be closed on Friday, July 3rd for the Independence Day Holiday in the U.S. FREELANCE OPPORTUNITIES Although our growth and success within the toy, gift, and juvenile products industries has created many freelance opportunities for Industrial Designers, Illustrators & Model Makers, we’ve put a temporary hold on hiring additional freelance help until the economy, again, begins to strengthen.
