Clumsy oafs, loud mouths and know-it-alls

The new Beasts: delightfully offbeat, irresistibly cuddly and now with vibrating rattles!

Meerkats, earwigs and panda bears – the new members of the Beasts family bring a bit of exotic flair along with them, proving once again that sigikid's cuddly creatures have long conquered the whole world! And it's no wonder. Everyone needs to cuddle once in a while! The main idea behind Beasts – “You're never too old to cuddle” – is true not only in Berlin, Hamburg, London, Rome or Paris but also in downtown Manhattan, Tokyo, on a farm in Brittany or in a terraced house in Sussex... basically anywhere people aren't afraid to let out their inner child and openly enjoy the fun of cuddling with these comical Beasts.

May we introduce: Paula Palava

The ten new Beasts from sigikid's design studio are characteristically unusual and loveable, and some of these new cuddly creations even feature a “vibrating rattle” that really gets them moving. For instance, now you can pull earwig Tippsy Trippsy's feelers or wring Chicken Checker's neck if he gets on your nerves – until these two hilarious characters get things shaking. Other family members are now equipped with this amusing feature, too, like Trane Trampel, Little Herbert and the mangy mutt Fretscha Fletscha. With Paula Palava, who looks more like an exploded mop than a sheep, it's best to give her ear a good yank. Do it, and she'll start talking your ear off with her virtual yacking.

And the remaining four newcomers delight with their exceptionally charming appearance. One of them is Toco Toronto, a silly meerkat who only loves big holes in the ground more than cuddling. Berti Bamboo is a cultivated panda who's sick of eating nothing but bamboo leaves for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Then there's the somewhat doddery Honey Momy with her goggle eyes, shaggy fur and heart of gold.

Continued success in 2011

sigikid's Beasts may be niche products in the broad range of sigikid products, but their success continues in 2011. Over 20 new beasts were “born” this year alone, and many new Beasts accessories have been created like snugly blankets, cuddle cushions and even an extensive new bag collection.


The complete Beasts collection is now presented on more than 30 pages in a handy consumer catalogue, which will complement these cuddly creatures' very popular website in the future: www.beaststown.com.
