Melanie will serve customers across the capital and wider South East of England, as Cobi launches its hotly anticipated VW Golf model kit collection
Cobi Toys has appointed experienced and well-respected Melanie Hodgkins as its new regional representative for London and the South East of England.
Her appointment means the company now has full coverage across the UK and Ireland.
“I am delighted to have Mel onboard,” said Lee Crocker, Country Manager, Cobi. “She comes highly recommended, and in time for our launches of new licences and products for 2027. We are very excited about what can be achieved.
“This now means that we have full coverage in the UK and Ireland. So all our customers,whether independent toy or hobby, departmental store or garden centre, will have an experienced operator managing them.”
Melanie joins Cobi as it readies the July launch of its hotly anticipated Volkswagen Golf model kit, which brings the iconic hot hatch to life.
This British VW Golf GTI (1984) model features unique details inspired by the British market, giving it a distinctive character compared to standard versions. The blue body, grille, and retro styling emphasise the sporty yet elegant look of the iconic convertible. Interactivewheels with rubber tyres, and durable prints, complemented by high quality stickers give the model a premium finish, perfect for any collector’s shelf.
Other models in the range include the VW Golf (1979-94) Cabriolet, VW Golf GTI (1984) Cabriolet, VW Golf GTI (1976-83), and VW Golf GTI (1976-83), each in 1:35 scale and more than 65 pieces.
