Abstract

A reel housing (21) enclosing a reel assembly (41) includes a decorative facial indicia element (34, 76). The facial indicia element is secured to a portion of the housing body. In one embodiment, the facial indicia element comprises an access panel (34), wherein opening or removal of the access panel allows access to the interior of the housing. The exterior surface of the access panel is decorated with facial indicia (36, 38, 40) so that the access panel resembles the face of an animal or character. In other embodiments, the facial indicia element is formed integrally with or secured to a portion of the housing other than the access panel. In still other embodiments, the access panel is not included. The exterior surface of the housing has a color design to visually enhance the depiction of the animal or character.
