"Since its inception ten years ago, the FURREAL FRIENDS brand has been
synonymous with innovative animatronic pet play. The FURREAL FRIENDS
products have remained popular with kids due to the realistic animal
experience each pet provides," said
In conjunction with the tenth anniversary, the FURREAL FRIENDS brand will welcome a new pony to the family — BABY BUTTERSCOTCH, MY MAGICAL SHOW PONY pet, a miniature filly that features the most advanced technology of any FURREAL FRIENDS pet to date. In the spring, FURREAL FRIENDS will introduce a new way for girls to play with the launch of the DIZZY DANCERS line of twirling, spinning pets. Girls can spin these silly pets in unexpected places— on a coffee table, in the palm of their hand, even on a pen top. There are more than 50 DIZZY DANCERS characters to collect this year, and girls can interchange the top and bottom of any pet to create a custom DIZZY DANCERS collection of her own. New products in the FURREAL FRIENDS line up also include cuddly additions to the collectible SNUGGIMALS segment and additional realistic pets such as the FURREAL FRIENDS HOP ‘N CUDDLE bunnies and the FURREAL FRIENDS BOUNCY, MY HAPPY TO SEE ME PUP pet.
The brand debuted in fall 2002 with the launch of the FURREAL FRIENDS cat and has been a category leader since. One of the first animatronic products that looked and acted just like a ‘real' pet, the FURREAL FRIENDS cat was revolutionary. It impressed kids and adults alike, exhibiting mannerisms similar to an actual cat including purring when petted and hissing when its tail was pulled. It also offered girls the opportunity to nurture and care for a pet while creating a loving relationship. In the years following, the FURREAL FRIENDS brand continued to bring pets to life like never before.
