My inspiration for "Creatures" was Mr. Potato head. Like Mr. Potato head the parts are easily interchangeable, but each set of parts are sold seperately from the body (which comes in different shapes and colors). There are many different parts that assemble to create each creature and it is up to the child to choose which parts make up their unique "Creature." Each set of legs, claws, fins, wings, hair, tails etc. comes with a description of the special abilities that this set of appendages gives their Creature. Along with being interchangeable, each piece clicks into a socket that allows for the parts to move. The mouth and eyes come in seperate peices and fit into their own socket so that they can move as well.
All parts are recycleable and made from recycled yougurt containers. The recycled plastic is molded and dyed bright colors. The bodies measure from 4 to 5 inches tall so that the toy can easily be held in one hand.
This is a fairly affordable toy with each body costing about $5 and about $3 for each set of parts. This means that a creature can be completed for under $30, however, the child will want to have more and more parts for their creature. New parts will also be released periodically.
