Aurora World is giving the popular 1980s Garfield plush toy a modern twist.
The suction cup toy – ideal for car windows – includes a head-turning feature and demonstrates Garfield's "power of Catitude", says the company. It joins three other fresh plush toys: eight-inch, 11-inch and 15-inch variants.
"Aurora has high expectations for the new Garfield licence," Mark Hilder, product development manager, told ToyNews. "The plush toys have a great look and feel to them, perfectly capturing the essence of Garfield's character.
"With the demand for retro/vintage characters and new consumers attracted via the films, timing is right. The plan is to extend the range with different prices and poses."
The news comes after licensed Garfield merchandise sales leapt 340 per cent year-on-year in the first half of 2012 alone.
