Where did you grow up?
We were born on the Gold Coast of Australia, but our descendants are now made right here in North America.
Who’s your current bestie?
It's hard to pick just one, considering I arguably have the coolest entourage around, including a pig, a sheep, a cow, and a chicken. Beat that, Clooney.
Aside from sugar and spice and
everything nice, what else are you
made of?
We are all CNC cut, glued, sanded, and polished to perfection! A few of us can be seen with some pretty fab felt inlays, as well.
Where was the last place the paparazzi photographed you?
They recently spotted us at the Westfield West Lakes Shopping Center in West Lake, South Australia, but no worries—we like having our picture taken.
What’s the rumor mill churning out about you these days?
Some people are saying that we’re changing the face of children’s play areas with our larger-than-life personas. That’s a bit grandiose, but I will agree that my friends and I are much cooler than your average plastic playground toys.
What’s your biggest turn-on?
Being a conversation piece.
Turn-off?
Shoes.
What’s your next starring role?
We’re popping up all over the place now that people have had a chance to meet us. A few of my friends—sea turtles, in fact—are going to be landing in Florida soon.
Who would you like to work with next?
We’d love to work with kids in airports, children’s hospitals, schools, shopping centers, and hotels—any place we can stretch out and have some fun.
What’s the worst part about fame?
Is there one?
