VIP Pets is a new range of pet-themed collectibles from IMC Toys that taps into the popularity of pet characters, surprise reveals and creative styling. The pet-doll range for kids ages five and up boasts semi-bling packaging, as the unique colors of a doll's 30cm hair can be revealed by adding water. In all, there are a dozen different styles to collect and each of the VIP Pets comes with its own surprises, plus a chair and a suction pad so that playing with the long hair is easy.
To support the launch and help to get kids familiar with the fun characters, IMC Toys launched a 21-episode series of five-minute animated webisodes, including instructional and inspirational tutorials.
Later on this year, IMC Toys plans to launch a salon playset that will help kids use water to wash and a "glitteriser" to create custom looks.
