Snuggle 'n Hug Polar Pals

I was asked to come up with some new lines of feature plush for under $20. With the world as it it these days, one idea I had was to create a toy that would help encourage empathy, kindness and compassion in a child. These shivering and shaking polar pals ask for a child's hug to warm them. Once they are hugged they stop shivering and their cheeks glow red with warmth and happiness. In the end I streamlined and simplified the sculpts and minimized my original winter clothing ideas to achieve a $14.99 price point. I also scripted some fun dialogue for the animals which a talented voice actor did a bang-up job bringing to life.
