One of the iconic toys of the 1980s The Boglins are making a return. We are looking forward to seeing Dwork, Vlobb and Drool again.

Playtime just got a lot more interactive with the return of Boglins®, the latest release from TriAction Toys. With their ultra-stretchable arms, moveable/glow-in-the-dark eyes, creepy-cool manipulative faces, Boglins offer a huge dose of squish-able fun. Boglins® have already sold nearly $500,000 in pre-orders alone, proving to be the must-have hit toy for collectors and fans in 2021 and beyond.

Boglins® are also intent on carving out their own place on the internet. A new site (www.theboglins.com) has been created to act as a hub for the growing fan community to use as their own. “This will be an exciting space for collectors and fans alike,” explains Chris Cofoni, founder of Tri-Action Toys. “It’s where they can go to share their photos, trade stories, and keep track of when the coolest new Boglins® drop.”

Boglins® first emerged from the imaginations of designers Tim Clarke, Maureen Trotto, and Larry Mass in 1986, selling over $100 million internationally, and are now back for a new generation to discover.

Kickstarter backers raised more than $275,000 to bring King Drool®, King Vlobb®, and King Dwork® back from the bog, along with the Dark Lords Blobkin® and Bog o Bones®. Supporters will be rewarded accordingly, as they’ll be the first to get Boglins in –and on– their hands along with collectible pins in early April. In addition to those campaign supporters, eager fans stormed Walmart.com and GameStop.com during a pre-order launch, nearly selling out in less than a week.

“The enthusiasm and support from fans have been amazing,” Boglins® co-creator Tim Clarke says. “I’m really proud that we’ve been able to deliver such a great product for them.” Surge Licensing, the global Boglins® brand Licensing Agency, is planning additional deal
announcements shortly that will include graphic novels, comics, apparel, a board game and video games.

“Look for more exciting news from Bogland coming soon”, says Mark Freedman, Surge’s president. Boglins® are hitting retailers in a big way this spring and summer with an expanded lineup, including limited edition Golden Horned Kings and Red Eyed Kings. Only 3060 of each King will be made, making them highly collectable. Walmart has the US exclusive on Golden Horned Kings with ToyNK.com having the US exclusive on Red Eyed Kings. Find Boglins this spring in the US at Walmart, GameStop, Hot Topic, Spencer Gifts and other specialty retailers. They will also be available online from Toynk.com and BigBadToyStore.com among others.

Internationally, Boglins® will be distributed in the UK exclusively through HEO, who has partnered with UK Menkind Stores and their website, Lost Universe, to launch the Golden Horned and Red Eyed Kings. The EU distribution partner is Luxembourg-based Jactal, with retailers being announced in April and a robust plan to bring back Boglins® across Europe. The Australian distribution partner is
Ikon, selling online and to select retailers.
