Friends With You's Wish Come True toys

Design collective Friends With You and wonderful toy maker Strangeco created this delightful series of characters called Wish Come True. Like old-school Weebles, the toys rock back and forth. Each one also has a little bell chime inside. Unlike most designer toys, Wish Come True characters are safe for little kids 18 months and up. I know my two-year-old will dig them!

WEEBLES WOBBLE BUT THEY DON’T FALL DOWN.

Takuan, stop destroying my childhood memories!

I would play with these and I’m 17.

Edselpdx,

I will go into the zoo! I want to see it, yes I do.

You only made it worse.

Antinous,

I am going to kill you in your sleep with one of these.
Antinous

Well, you can’t hit me with one since they chime a warning, and I can absorb them if you try to poke me, so it won’t work.
Tenn

Fie on you!

Off to bed, now. Still an innocent girl and all that who watches Winnie the Pooh and has no idea what Ben Wa Balls are.

So I completely flipped out today when, while doing a google search for King Albino, I found videos of the Friends With You -designed King Albino hotel room, room #102, in Hotel Fox, Copenhagen, Denmark.

They’re adorable and the video makes me happy (in a completely innocent and nonsexual way, y’all), but trying to parse this post’s title nearly exploded my head.

Nice creatures. My immediate response was that the biggest one reminds me of the critter in Put Me in the Zoo, which I hadn’t thought of since I was about 4 years old. http://www.amazon.com/Put-Me-Zoo-Beginner-Books/dp/0394800176My
My 11 yr old probably won’t want to play with these little lovelies, but at least I have an excuse to buy Gama-Go, Kidrobot, and dunnies.

@EDSELPDX, your Amazon link had a type-o in it. Here’s the correct Link. That looks like a fun book!

this is some kind of arch joke,right? Especially the internal bell chime clappers?
