Closed – Monster Factory Review and Giveaway

Giveaway – Congratulations to winner/comment # 33

This adorable monster’s name is Colin; he divides his time between playing video games and fretting about his future. Colin comes in 3 sizes, Mini: 3″ x 3.75″ x 5.5″, Regular: 6.5″ x 6″ x 9″ and Studio Edition: 7″ x 7″ x 10″.

Meet Betty; she’s a limited addition Monster. When watching sentimental movies with her friends, Betty is the only one who doesn’t cry. She’s a “realist”. Size: 2″ x 5.5″ x 4″. (Betty is only available online)

These Monster characters I received for review are only two of the 62 available at Monster Factory; from the Heartbreakers group to the Monsternauts group, you’ll find one to suit your personality. Each Monster has it’s own name, personality and even their own YouTube movies. I noticed the cute tags that came attached to each monster, making it easy to give these little monster pals as a gift. Each tag also includes the name and personality description of the monster. The soft microfleece material and hidden stitching adds quality to these plush monsters. These are listed for ages 3 and up but my baby girl, under supervision, insisted on playing with these. The stuffing is packed tight so that the toy is a harder feel to it which baby girl loved chewing on; the legs were easy for her to grab with her little hands. We even took Colin along to the mall with us, he fit nicely into the cup holder of her stroller so she could look at him and play with his hands that tuck so cutely into his hoodie. My older kids thought these collectibles were adorable and have a good laugh when telling people the monsters names and personality traits.

Check out what contests are running at the Monster Factory this month or watch Monsters in interactive videos for a good chuckle. These Monster pals are a great addition to your family or for anyone looking for a unique collectible with flair.
