Creature double feature

Lend me your ear. Really. Perhaps a large pink one? That’s what kids will be saying when they break their new Chimeras out of the box. Walrus Toys’ Chimeras [ky-mer-uhz] are mix-and-match plush toys, and each set includes two of the animals, so kids can immediately begin taking them apart and creating new creatures.

Take the Bunny and Monkey set. Their limbs and ears pop off and can be swapped with each other, creating new toys, like a Monny and Bunkey. Their appendages are also interchangeable with the Bat and Elephant set, for even more possibilities. Recommended for children ages 3 and older, these toys take the boring world of stuffed animals and give them a purpose beyond collecting dust!
