R. Brown 0 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi, I have been away from PC for awhile and after reading through old posts I noticed references to Nu-Dell acquiring the Farley molds. Can anyone here please update what is going on with them. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockytank 18 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Well after reading this post this morning, I decided to email Nu-Dell and ask. They already responded back, I was shocked so fast. Here's what I got including all their forwards. It's reverse order from how it went along. Greg yes we do have the Farley molds but we are not producing them at this time.

Thanks From: Greg Seman Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 8:55 AM To: sales Subject: Holiday Blowmolds Hello, I would like to inquire whether your company will be making Christmas or Halloween blowmolds in the future. I have found out from numerous people on various Christmas forums online that Nu-Dell had aquired Farley Technologies a few years ago. I hope that you will consider making them in the future if you have not done so as of yet. The air-blown inflatable may be the "in thing" but there are many people out there, myself included, that love the blowmolded decorations. I hope you consider producing these items. Thank you, Greg Seman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockytank 18 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Maybe if we start a writing/email campaign they will make them again....well one can hope! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crazyaboutangels 10 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I like the idea of a writing campaign. I've worked for 3 fortune 500 companies and it is my experience that marketing will take notice if there is a large response to an issue whether is a good or bad one. It's the old squeeky wheel syndrome. Maybe they don't know that people are interested and will buy the product because I've read articles where it is the general assumption that people prefer inflatables. Maybe if we show the company there is indeed a market for them, then perhaps they will at least do a limited production run to test the marketing waters. Who knows...it might work..if not then all I'm out is a couple of minutes of writing time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blowmoldfreak 11 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Well where we live inflatables last a month and the 4 feet of snow kills them. blowmolds rule the display here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jen grissett 0 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Farly bought TPI and Nudell bought Farly... I imagine they sold whatever stock they got with the buyout...and just put their sticker on it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sathya44 4 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 The Petition that I created to bring back certain TPI blow molds are being sent to Nu-Dell and General Foam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The paint used is highly toxic. I have no problem with less toxic paints being used or the EPA being strict about the toxic paint, there's still way too much polluting going on. But anyway, I have a quart of actual Empire factory paint, and it's nothing like what you can buy at the hardware store, trust me, it's really nasty stuff. I brought it to a Sherwin Williams store to have them try and identify the ingredients and shake the can for me and the guy just about fainted when he popped the lid off, the whole store stank after. Grand Venture (Prime Plastics) successfully made the transition to non-toxic water base paints. Nudell should look into that option, I imagine they'd get approved if they did.

sathya44 4 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 That should definitely help them to bring back the two TPI snowmen with green hats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
