American designer toy company Kidrobot has introduced the Yummy World Chips and Guac collectible to its line of personified food plush toys. The release of the adorable collectible follows the company's Yummy World Victorio Veggie Taco Plush Set, as well as it's Eva the Avocado Plush.
Like the other toys that comprise the line, the Yummy World Chips and Guac character features large eyes and a dotted smile across the base of the fluffy dip bowl. The large bowl of guac is joined by a trio of tiny chips, who are each given the same treatment, and come with an accent of bright green guac. The chips can be positioned outside of the bowl, or placed with its designated compartments.
