Toy manufacturer Together Plus is hoping the Force will be strong in its new collectibles.

Rolling out via distributor Innzone, Kitto is a range of construction kits featuring characters from Star Wars and Dr Who such as Yoda, Admiral Ackbar and a Cyberman.

Each slots together from components printed on a single die-cut A5 sheet of foam core board that can be sold from a counter-top or hanging display. Kitto launches this month through 2,000 independent Smiths News and Menzies customer outlets.

Together Plus, which also supplies plush dolls and collectible models featuring video game characters, will launch more licensed Kitto models in the summer.
