Tiger's Generating Some Big Laughs At Toy Fair!

NEW YORK, Feb 6, 2002 -- Hasbro's Tiger Electronics(TM), known for groundbreaking innovation, Getsa little wacky with their newest addition to the family, Wally Getsa Wedgie(TM).

Wally Getsa Wedgie(TM) leads off Tiger's new line of distinct characters with unique, edgy personalities. Wally is the cute but nagging little brother you will "love to hate." Filled with boundless energy, Wally just won't stop! His mind races with information and his mouth stumbles over words as he tries to tell you everything at once. Wally is absolutely hysterical as he tells you tall-tale stories, absurd facts and jokes with punch lines you saw coming a mile a way! He will go on and on, providing you with exaggerated nonsense, that generally will leave you no choice but to get him to stop the only way you can...A WEDGIE! The art of yanking a struggling victim's underpants up out of their pants to the point of ripping. Or, in Wally's case, physically suspending him in mid-air.

Just like your favorite little kid, Wally loves to have shouting contests, sing silly songs and pretend to be his favorite superhero. He sniffles, yells, pouts, goes into uncontrollable tantrums, cries for mom, and generally is as cute, endearing and annoying as possible. You can trigger all of these emotions and behaviors when you tickle him, tease him, take away his toys, or give him the ultimate punishment - the Atomic Wedgie! Youch!

Wally is great for kids who always wanted a little brother but don't know exactly what it involves. He is molded to look like a little boy, dressed like he did it himself and comes complete with a runny nose!

Recommended for kids, ages 6 and up, adults will also get a kick out of Wally. If you ever wanted your son to know exactly what he sounded like when he was little, pick Wally up by his undies at a toy store near you!

Suggested retail: $29.99. Available: Fall 2002.
