MONTREAL, Aug. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- WowWee, a
leading manufacturer of hi-tech consumer robotic and entertainment
products, today announced the highly anticipated retail launch of
Fingerlings® HUGS™, the first-ever special feature plush edition of
the award-winning Bella and Boris Fingerlings Baby Monkeys. In true
Fingerlings fashion, HUGS are packed with breakthrough interactive
technology, with notable new features that bring play to a whole
new level.
Fingerlings HUGS are true softies when it comes to affection,
with long arms that are perfect for big snuggles and cozy hugs.
Kids can swing these cuddle monkeys for a silly reaction, shake
them for a funny fart, or pat their back for a crazy burp! But
that's not all...New to Fingerlings HUGS is WowWee's unique and
proprietary KissTech™ technology. Just press your HUGS' mouth to
your cheek or skin and you'll get a big smooch in return! The
longer you hold it, the longer the kiss will last. You'll even get
different types of kisses when you hold your HUGS in different ways
- right-side up, upside down, or on its back. And, you can talk to
your HUGS too! With TalkBack technology, just hold down your HUGS'
ear to share a sweet message, and they'll repeat it back in its own
silly voice!
"August marks one year since the
introduction of Fingerlings, and we're really excited that we have
the opportunity to continue to deliver the interactivity of this
toy to children in new and different ways," said Sydney Wiseman, creator of Fingerlings and brand
manager at WowWee. "The response we've received to Fingerlings has
been remarkable, so we took a lot of the technology used in the
original fingertip friends and built it up to include additional
innovative features like KissTech and TalkBack technology, packaged
in a cuddly plush that we know kids will love."
Fingerlings HUGS will be available in Bella (pink) and Boris
(blue) at major retailers including Target, Walmart, Amazon, Best
Buy and Kohl's for $29.99 each. Ages
