NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., April 11 -- Spring fever has a new hop this year with the arrival of TOMY's first ever Limited Edition MicroPet(TM) -- MicroPet(TM) Bunnies. These itty bitty bunnies have arrived just in time for Easter, but won't be around for long since only 50,000 pieces of these highly collectible critters are available in the U.S. The bunnies will be available exclusively at Target (in the Easter section) and specialty stores.
The Limited Edition MicroPet(TM) Bunnies, available in pink or white, are perfect for any occasion from Easter baskets to spring flings. It has all the great features of the original best sellers -- it runs, zig-zags, sings and turns around all at voice commands. And for the ultimate extra feature, these bunnies' cheeks light up! MicroPets are recommended for ages 5 and up.
Earlier this year, MicroPets, the world's smallest robotic pets, proved they are revolutionizing micro-entertainment by earning the Guinness World Record(TM) for the Smallest Sound-Activated Self-Powered Toy. MicroPets measure in at less than 1.37 inches, making it the tiniest toy ever to respond to voice commands. Having sold over 5 million pieces of Series 1 and Series 2 alone, MicroPets continue to be one of the hottest trends in 'techie toys' and collectibles. Series 3 are set to be released this summer.
