April 2006 - Spring is in the air and many a young person's thoughts turn to romance, others turn to vengeance. Either way, Mezco Toyz has a new series of plush action that can help; they are The Voodooz. Standing ten inches tall, each plush character features an endoskeleton that allows the figures to be posed in ways previously unknown by plush figures. Clearly, these are not the voodoo dolls of old. Series 1 consists of a sinister quartet of figures;

Uchawi - Perhaps the calmest of the bunch. This figure is for day-to-day, general purpose voodoo. He's a dependable character with a quiet charm.

Ezili - Perfect for those seeking love or suffering a broken heart. This little intriguing creature features an exposed heart that can be violently ripped from its chest or treated with care.

Kennis - With his giant eye and green color, Kennis observes quietly and yearns to possess all he sees. Bingo trolls watch out, there is a new lucky charm in town!

Baka - Clearly the bad boy of the bunch, Baka can be your best friend or worst enemy. Use him with care and be careful what you wish for!

Each figure comes with loads of accessories, including pins you can stick them with, mojo bones, idols, trinkets, binding twine, accessory storage bag and journal booklet, all packaged in an oversized slide-out matchbox.

All of the figures are carefully designed to exacting specifications so that they may be used for either good or evil, depending on the needs of their keepers.

The VooDooz are manifesting in stores this spring and to welcome their arrival Mezco proudly presents the HOW DO YOU SPELL VOODOOZ? contest.
