Zhu Zhu Pets is revisiting its early success by introducing of the Zhu Zhu Aquarium collection with interactive plush fish that need no water. "Zhu Zhu Pets set a precedent as an epitome of interactive fun. We knew when we brought them back, it had to be even more special," said James Russell Hornsby, Founder and CEO of Cepia, "Kids adore the allure of fish, and the idea of combining that with the tactile pleasure of play was irresistible."
In the collection, there are six tropical fish to collect, plus accesories to make mess-free play even more fun. Finnegan is an orange clownfish and like the other fish in the series, shares an aquatic, dolphin-like noise. The Starter Set with an exclusive fish creates a large coral reef aquarium, and The Submarine Set comes with a tunnel ramp that can be connected to other playsets.
