Just been going through my computer desk and found the letter I got from Toy Options (now known as Character) in 2002!
Thought I’d scan and upload it for you guys:

I’m actually thinking of writing to Character again, to see if I can get some more information out of them, such as the specific year Rainbow Toys ceased trading within their mill.

That’s great to see, Neil - they sound like a very helpful company! 
BTW, could I suggest that that scan not be uploaded to the main site, at least not without doctoring, as it does of course show Neil’s home address!
Take care…
Yeah, I trust you guys not to send me junk mail or poison pen letters so I didn’t bother covering my address.
Not sure if it’s that interesting for the main site, but if it did get displayed then my address would have to be covered first.
Let me know if you feel it is site worthy and I will subtley remove your address Neil

begins bundling up junk mail into box to send to Neil before writing poison pen letter 
I definitely agree - I thought someone would probably pick up on it, I just didn’t want it to get overlooked by mistake!
Take care…
