I’m hoping everyone had a warm, safe, wonderful holiday.

Here at GKPI, we’re focused on 2007 now, working hard on catalogs and new products. The best news is that we aren’t considering any price increases even though the cost of just about everything has gone up.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll unveil several new designs as we lead up to the KTA Trade Show in Albuquerque. Here’s the first of our 2007 introductions.

Peter Lynn Caterpillar – in a variety of sizes.

The Caterpillar is a great ground bouncer! First of all, it is big – really big! The giant size from New Zealand is larger than a school bus. The ones made by GKPI are ten feet tall and fifty feel long. (Shown here.) That’s nearly the impact of a giant Octopus while still at the mid-sized price levels.

Second, the Caterpillar is designed to be children/abuse tolerant. There is nothing to grab hold of! We even let kids inside to look around!

And finally, it is good looking. We can make any color combination you like in any one of three different sizes.

• Small Caterpillar 15 x 3 feet $400
• Medium Caterpillar 30 x 6.5 feet $800
• Large Caterpillar 50 x 10 feet $1400

Check out the Giants from New Zealand on our Peter Lynn pages.

To get this cool new piece off to a great New year start, we'll take 20% on orders placed between now and January 10. Check back next week for another new addition -- the very cool Sharky from Ludovico Bertozzi in Italy.
