With Christmas still a couple of months away, Dave the Funky Monkey has already won many honours and awards on the back of his UK debut, including a prediction from SKY News and Hamleys that he will be a top Christmas bestseller, during their busy upcoming holiday season.
Most recently, toy experts at Toys R Us have predicted that this lovable monkey will be one of their Top 5 bestsellers. A spokesperson has said, “He’s [Dave the Funky Shoulder Monkey] a lively little character that sits on your shoulder and makes noises to passers by, it’s the sort of toy that kids dream of tearing the wrapping paper off, not only is he completely fun but he is also affordable”.
Dave is already flying off the shelves at Hamleys within weeks of his arrival and continues to impress toy critics, recently receiving a “Highly Commended” mention in Toy Talk Awards “Robotic Toys” category.
Dave The Funky Shoulder Monkey has already arrived in Hawkins Bazaar and from 14th October will be available in other UK stores such as Debenhams, WH Smith and Argos.
Wow! Stuff Managing Director, Richard North, said:
“People seem to have fallen in love with love Dave the Funky Monkey. He seems to have captured every child’s imagination, particularly the older children aged 16 to 60! Of course he was aimed at 5-15 year olds so we’re delighted he has crossed over into the ‘big boys toys’ market too. The response thus far has been amazing- we’ve sold out of every Dave we can make and whilst that means there will be 200,000 on the way by sea freight over the next 8 weeks, our two factories can only produce a further 250,000 between now and Christmas, which will only service about 70% of demand, so we are trying everything to get a 3rd factory up and running to meet demand.”
Dave the Funky Shoulder Monkey is one of the latest interactive toys from WOW! Stuff, a company that prides itself on selling high quality, innovative gifts, gadgets and toys.
