Moose Toys Delivers the Hottest Holiday Toy for the Second Year in a Row, Now with Snuggles, My Dream Puppy

Since launching last month, Snuggles has flown off shelves and sold out across stores nationwide. Major retailers have been scrambling to secure stock, even flying in more product to meet the upcoming holiday demand. In one week alone, a major retailer sold through 75% of their Snuggles stock, selling the same amount of units in just one week than last year's top electronic pet toy sold during the entire month of September.

"Since the launch of Snuggles, we've seen incredible customer demand, as the item was among our hottest selling toys in September," said Richard Barry, Executive Vice President, Global Chief Merchandising Officer, Toys"R"Us, Inc. "Based on the success we're seeing with Snuggles at Toys"R"Us, and our commitment to have this adorably in-demand item in stock for our customers whenever and however they choose to shop with us, we're airfreighting additional inventory to arrive just in time for the holidays."  

Snuggles moves, feels, and responds just like a real puppy, with a pat on the head or a rub of the tummy he behaves in different ways. Snuggles is so soft that when kids cuddle and snuggle with him, they will forget it is just a toy.

"Electronic pets invite kids to role play and tap into their nurturing side," said Adrienne Appell, Toy Industry Association. "It's a timeless play pattern and now with new technology, electronic pets like Little Live Pets Snuggles are more realistic and interactive than ever before."

With the addition of Snuggles, the Little Live Pets line has further established itself as the #1, best-selling electronic toy property in the toy industry, according to the NPD Group.

As the holiday kicks into high gear, Snuggles has been featured on the world's largest retailers hot holiday toy lists including the Toys"R"Us Fabulous 15 list, which identifies the 15 toys that should be this year's hottest sellers, Walmart's annual "Chosen by Kids" list of kid's favorite 25 toys, and the Toy Insider's Hot 20 List of the hottest toys this holiday season.
