Luki Lab applied the technology from its award-winning Flat 2 Fast Card Racers and applied them to Pets 2 Love, introducing a pop-out toy that can be launched from its cozy home in the shape of a purse. These flat-pack toys introduce kids to friendly cat characters like Luna and Olive, as well as dogs like Louie and Milo, each of which is housed in a heart-shaped purse with a handle that doubles as a leash.
When placed on a flat surface, the pet-coordinated accessory turns into a launcher, and with the press of a button, the pet companion pops out with speed for solo play or racing against another Pets 2 Love toy.
