I had never even heard of Oddbods until I was offered a couple of Oddbods Buddies for free to play with and review. They are from Kids Station Toys Incorporated. Opinions are my own.
When the Oddbods arrived at my house I could not believe the size of the box. These are HUGE plush toys that are interactive and make lots of sounds depending upon how you play with them. On top of that when two Oddbods Buddies meet each other they greet each other and have a conversation, in their Oddbods way. Oddbods do not talk, they communicate through gestures as well as different grunts and giggles and other sounds. They make a lot of sounds. They also make different sounds depending upon how you play with them. They are soft for snuggling but also tough for roughhousing and so hugs, and body slams will produce much different sounds from your Oddbods Buddies. I show you how they work in the following video.
The new line of Oddbods buddies are sold exclusively at Target Stores nationwide. They have special sound effects that are activated when they meet each other. Great for ages 3+ and retail for $39.99 each (total value of $80).
In order to familiarize myself with the Oddbods I watched an episode on Netflix. This is a show for pre-schoolers. The characters each have a distinctive look and personality. In the case of the Oddbods Buddies that I received there was the outgoing and gregarious Newt and the competitive and fiery Fuse. More on Oddbods Buddies.
