Moose Toys recently launched Goo Goo Galaxy as a new line of playthings that combines the popularity of collectibles with tactile toys and at-home slime creation crafts. The Goo Drops are a line of alien babies with goo-filled bodies that are paired with a special DIY slime activity for kids.
The quirky character dolls include Yumi Unicorn from planet Mystico, Stella Skygems, Luna Laguna and Astra Nommy, who is described as being just two donuts tall. Each toy has a squeezable, soft belly and comes packaged in a spaceship-like container that seems to have just landed on the planet.
At a preview event held at FAO Schwarz in New York City, the new toys sold out within just two hours. As such, it is predicted that Goo Goo Galaxy toys will be top sellers for this upcoming holiday season.
