Go Go Pets already see massive Christmas sales
Go Go Pets are quickly becoming the must have toys for Christmas, given that they are charmingly interactive and furry without any of the mess that comes from real pets and need cages cleaned.
The new line of toys are actually battery powered hamsters that cost less than a tenner. At the moment stock of the funny animals are flying off the shelves in both America and the UK with a new market slowly developing on eBay as well.
In order to keep up with the demand, UK distributors of the popular toy, Character Group, are flying in new Go Go pets from China. The demand is so high that chief executive of the US toy store, Toys R Us stated that that the craze is about equal to the 80’s demand for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Last month, the Toy Retailers Association placed the line of toys in the ‘dream dozen’ for this year’s Christmas present, while Argos the retailer placed then in their top ten Christmas gift list.
One reason for the toys popularity may in part be its small price given the fact that many people are not willing or able to fork out a lot of cash for presents this winter, with the current economic conditions.
Managing director of Character Group, Jon Driver, stated that 600,000-700,000 of the accessory packs have also been sold in the UK along with the toys. He said that the craze is just incredible with many people making multiple purchases of everything that is related to the Go Go Pets brand.
