it all started in 1957. Dakin began to importing electric trains from Japan. To protect the trains during their long journey to America shippers cradles them with a half dozen or so velveteen stuffed characters. This cute and clever packaging and not the trains created an unexpected stir of excitement. In response, R. Dakin & Co., now a division of Applause, LLC. began to import these original Dream Pets by the hundreds. As momentum grew, these little funsters' became nothing short of a cultural phenomenon worldwide. By the late 70s, more than 2000 individual character captured the imaginations of kids and collectors alike. Today, R. Dakin & Co. is proud to reintroduce Dream Pets into the hearts and hands of an all-new generation of dreamers.
