Mushabelly fever

We've collected and invented a lot of toys over the years, but the ones we adore the most are Mushabellies. Mushabellies are simply adorable. And they make such delightful noises when you squeeze them. There also different kinds of mushabellies too, there's Mushabelly Chatter, Mushabelly Snooze-Ums, Mushabelly Alienoids, Mushabelly wrestlers, Mushabelly monsters and Mushabelly adorables. They come in all different shapes and sizes and are all unique. And they aren't just animal ones, there's also aliens and monsters too. Also there are special holiday themed ones like for Halloween there's a witch, frankenstein, ghost, pumpkin, a bat and a spider and for christmas there's a snowman, a Santa, and a polar bear and a reindeer. There's even a koala bear one and a panda as well. One of the ones we have is a brown bear named Timber, when you squeeze his stomach he makes this really cute laugh which kind of sounds a lot like John Candy.

This is one of our most treasured mushabellies. He is a ladybug named Silly Billy. He has long wiggly arms and comes from a line of bigger mushabellies that make a funny grumbling noise when you squeeze their stomach.

We've made quite a lot of themed mushabellies of our own. For example there's the Mushabelly Horrors range which are mushabelly versions of characters from horror films- including such famous horror baddies as Freddy Krueger, Norman Bates, Hans from Fritz Lang's M (Peter Lorre) Chucky from Child's Play, Jason Voorhees and even a few others such as the Crypt Keeper from Tales From The Crypt and Brundlefly- each makes a unique scary sound (e.g the one of Regan from The Exorcist speaks in latin, the Jason Voorhees one makes the ch-ch-ch-ha-ha-ha-ha sound effect, the Crypt Keeper cackles). The next wave of horror mushabellies will include Ash from the Evil Dead movies. There's also our Star Wars themed mushabellies which are Jar Jar, Chewbacca, Yoda, Wicket, and Jabba The Hutt. Also we have two sets Disney themed mushabellies, one is called Disney Sidekicks and the other is called Disney villains. The Disney sidekicks range includes such characters as Lago the parrot and the genie (Aladdin), Cogsworth, Lefou and Lumiere (Beauty and the Beast), Meeko (Pocahontas), Timon and Pumba (Lion King), and many more. The Disney Villains set has such famous Disney villains as Scar, Hades, Jafar, Gaston, Ursula, Sykes, Judge Doom, and Professor Ratigan.

This one you see here is the Professor Ratigan mushabelly from the Disney villains range, Ratigan sings The World's Greatest Criminal Mind when you squeeze his stomach.

There's also a few other holiday ones we did. For example there's an Elvis one we did for Elvis Week, it sings Suspicious Minds when you squeeze it's stomach and says "Thank you, thank you very much." Also there's a grinch one for xmas, we modelled that one after Jim Carrey's version of the grinch from the movie How The Grinch Stole Christmas, it sings It's Not Easy Being Green when you squeeze it's stomach. Also for valentine's day there is a princess, an angel, and a mermaid one. The princess one sings That's How You Know from Enchanted, and the mermaid one sings Part Of Your World. For halloween we have a werewolf one that howls as well as a devil one that laughs manically. For new years there is Tick Tock the millenium bug, when you squeeze his hand he plays The Final Countdown by Europe. There's also a Shrek one that belches. We also have some John Candy themed ones- all of which are mushabelly versions of John Candy's characters from movies and sctv sketches. And new this month are the Mushabelly Superheroes and Mushabelly Supervillains. The Mushabelly Superheroes range include such heroes as Batman, Green Lantern, Spiderman, The Hulk and Superman while the Supervillians range includes such comic book villains as The Joker, Venom, Sinistro, Lex Luthor, and The Penguin.
