Marx Toys Receives Multiple Orders For IM Buddies; Company Raises Projections


Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

SEBRING, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 15, 2003--Marx Toys And
Entertainment Corp. (OTCBB:MRXT) receives multiple retail orders
including another 10,000 unit wholesale order for its revolutionary
new "IM Buddies" toy line. Additionally, Marx Toys has received orders
from retailers across the US and will be announcing as orders are
processed.
This is the second large wholesale order in one week since Marx
Toys introduced the "IM Buddies" toy Line. Marx's Sales Team plans on
raising it's projections due to the enormous receptiveness in the
field. Our sales force had a conservative goal of 1 million units to
be sold by year's end, however, based on the current order flow and
multiple orders waiting for credit line approvals, Marx Toys now
expects Toy sales to exceed previous projections by years end.
Marx Toys will continue to be aggressive thru its retail channels
and is presently in the final stages of negotiations with major
Internet service providers, motion picture studios, television
producers, a large telemarketing department and other licensees.
Looking Forward, Marx Toys sees continued strong growth in new retail
and wholesale orders, strong website transactional business, and
significantly higher profits for the 3rd Quarter and into the years
end. The company is looking forward to sharing additional details
regarding new retail partners, additional Marx Toys product lines, and
our aggressive growth strategy over the next few days and weeks.
"Since our introduction of the product, these orders represent
only 1 week of transactional order flow and the current monthly
projections are significantly higher than we ever expected. We remain
confident with our current closing rates on orders and we see much
stronger retail and wholesale order flow into the holiday season and
beyond," comments Steven Wise, MARX Toys CEO, "Individuals have
inundated our website while trying to order the 'IM Buddies'."

About IM Buddies

IM Buddies are a new robotic line which will retail for $24.99.
The toy, which Marx has exclusivity to, will resemble famous cartoon
characters and real life individuals. The buddy will sit on top of
one's computer monitor and verbalize the user's incoming messages
through an advanced "text to speech" technology. The animatronic
messaging companion not only talks in the actual character's voice,
but has the motorized ability to move it's mouth and head
simultaneously. This companion uses an infrared sensor and is linked
to the front of the computer monitor. Last, it consists of
multifunctional capabilities, which include reading stories and
playing a handful of online games that come packaged with each toy. So
far, Marx has revealed its first 2 characters...Bugs Bunny and Daffy
Duck, both from the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes Family.
