DOUGLAS CO. Douglas Co. is expanding its DLux Collection of realistic-feeling plush animals, incorporating lush fabric with texture and rich colors that identify the animal’s breed. Additions include Farrah the Afghan, Jake the Black Lab, Thor the Leonberger, and Oscar the Maine Coon Cat. A few farm animals — including Lucia the Llama, Levi the Brown Spotted Pig, Wallace the Highland Cow, Seth the Mountain Goat, and Gisele the Goat — are also joining the DLux Collection. All DLux animals are designed for kids ages 3 and up and will be available this spring. Seth the Mountain Goat
YUME TOYS
LITTLE REBELS Little Rebels is a plush doll collection coming this spring inspired by iconic women, such as Malala, Marie Curie, and Amelia Earhart, among others. Once kids scan each doll on the augmented reality app, a video appears and shares the story of the woman each doll represents. Little Rebels partnered with the Malala Fund and new foundations focused on girls’ education, so a percentage of sales go to girls’ education worldwide.
Scary movie fans ages 13 and up can relive their favorite movie moments with a line of 6-Inch Horror Plushies, from YuMe Toys, featuring Gizmo, Annabelle, Pennywise, Jason, and Beetlejuice. When kids squeeze the soft chibi figure, they will hear one of three movie quotes. Some of the characters will also be available as 12-Inch Horror Plushies and 8-inch Horror Huggables. All three products will be available in August. The Creepy Regan MacNeil doll brings the character from The Exorcist into the homes of fans ages 13 and up this summer. Beetlejuice This fall, kids ages 3 and up can cuddle Horror Huggable characters from DC Comics and classic holiday movies as 6-Inch Holiday Plushies. When kids press the plush’s chest, they will activate festive holiday music.
IMC TOYS This fall, IMC Toys will add Cry Babies Goodnight Coney to its Cry Babies collection. Coney is the softest Cry Baby yet, and when kids remove her pacifier, her tears light up while she makes realistic baby sounds. Putting the pacifier back in makes her face glow with a night light effect, and pressing her belly plays five soothing lullabies. Goodnight Coney helps kids transition from playtime into naptime. The Cry Babies Collection also expands with the Cry Babies Lizzy and Cry Babies Daisy dolls, available this fall. Kids can watch these dolls cry real tears and hear them make realistic baby noises. Lizzy wears a peacock onesie, while Daisy wears a cat onesie. This spring, Billy the Little Shark joins IMC’s Club Petz line. Kids can hug this plush shark to hear it laugh and make more than 10 sounds. The Little Narwal Corally Billy the Little Shark has a sister, Club Petz The Little Narwhal Corally. Kids can give her cuddles and attention to make her glittery horn light up in different colors and hear her make more than 10 sounds. All of these new Cry Babies and Club Petz dolls and plush are designed for babies 18 months and up.
