Plush toys have always been a winner with children of all ages ever since they first appeared in the shape of the traditional teddy bear of years past. They continue to be popular even today as toy industry figures indicate that children’s fascination with plush toys of all categories continues to drive the market upward.

Today children are flooded with animated movies, cartoon characters, animated video games on consoles and iPads, like never before. Plush toy manufacturers have plugged into the fascination with these images by coming out with an entire range of toys dedicated to the cartoons and figures that shape the fantasies of today’s child.
