Biggies, a ‘first-of-its-kind’ inflatable animal plush from Eolo Toys, has landed in the UK.
Biggies boasts a ‘pump-it-up-plush’ action that reveals an animal 10 times its size in the box. Kids peel off the tab on the side of the box to reveal the foot pump inside. As they start pumping, the box grows and the sides bulge until the huggable Biggies plush explodes out of the packaging and is revealed.
The concept was invented by the team at Fun-damental Invention in partnership with ToyZone, and comes to the UK via Click Distribution.
There are four Biggies to choose from – a Unicorn, Dragon, Rabbit or Puppy – and the range is available at retailers including Smyths, The Entertainer, Claire’s Accessories, Argos and B&M
