Expert Review: PMI Kids’ World’s Pudgy Penguins Series 2

Pudgy Toys is a range of toys and collectibles inspired by the world of Pudgy Penguins, an entertainment and lifestyle brand spawned from a Web3 community built around non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the blockchain. Toss out the technical jargon and the Pudgy Penguins are a rambunctious crew known as a huddle that’s fueled by positivity and fun to bridge the gap between physical and digital play into a “phygital” world.

When Pudgy Penguins seemingly arrived out of nowhere last year, the Series 1 toys quickly rocketed up the charts on Amazon and sold out! They’ve since waddled into Walmart, Target, and Five Below, so if you haven’t encountered them yet, you probably will soon. A dedicated Amazon storefront is regularly updated with new drops.

Pudgy Penguins Series 2 is more than just one thing. Kids can form a huddle of their favorite Penguins in a variety of sizes and forms from PMI Kids’ World, including the 4.5-inch Figures (4 to collect); Minifigures in Igloos (22 to collect); Blind Box Clip-On Plush (6 to collect); and 8-inch Plush Buddies (4 to collect).

The Penguins are a whimsical bunch that dress up in different outfits, aka “skins” in the digital realm. They could be a hot dog, a taco, a wizard, or a surfer — there are no limits to what form the Pudgy Penguins may take on next.

The affordable nature of the line and its rapidly expanding retail availability make it accessible to all.

Select toys in this range come with a digital code that unlocks items — aka “traits” — on the Pudgy Penguins platform. A parent or guardian should always be mindful of where the kids in their lives are playing, online and off.

Kids, collectors, and anyone looking for a collectible buddy to keep them company anywhere and anytime!
