The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs!™: Christmas Hot Toy
Meet The
Sing-A-Ma-Jigs!™ --a clever product with a clever name to match.
Introduced in the Spring of 2010, this group of offbeat, zany
characters--created by Mattel's Fisher-Price division
-- will surely put a smile on your face and delight any
child. Sing-a-ma-jigs promise to be one of the most popular
toys of the year.
Popular toys sell out quickly at Christmas. BUY EARLY! Avoid that look of disappointment on a dear child's face.
Buy The Sing-a-ma-Jigs! before they're out of
stock.
Products made by Fisher-Price are typically made to appeal to
the very young, usually infants and toddlers. However, in my most recent trip to the toy department of one local
department store, my experience indicated that almost everyone was falling in love
with The Sing-a-ma-jigs!™.
 
So exactly
what is a Sing-a-ma-jig? Well, a sing-a-ma-jig is only one
member of The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs! ™ group of characters. And the toy's name is an apt description. A sing-a-ma-jig
is a small plush, squeezable toy about seven inches tall, that "sings" when you press its tummy. Seems silly?
Maybe. But is it fun? No doubt about that.
The Sing-a-ma-jigs!™ resemble
the “Mr. Bill” character from the old Saturday Night Live television show, if you’re an SNL
enthusiast.
A sing
ma-jig is not easily definable as either a human or animal form, primarily because it has a round mouth,
which moves along with the singing, just as the mouth was the only moving part on the claymation Mr. Bill
figure.
Manufacturer Recommended age: 3 years - 6 years
The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs!™ Chatter, Sing and Harmonize
 The
Sing-a-ma-jigs!™ are collectible, because each can sing its own
different song and comes in a different color. Additionally each has a different sounding "voice", but all
will harmonize perfectly with each other.
Each version of the toy will sing either note-by-note,
sing their own song or chatter in their own special way. All you have to do is squeeze a Sing ma jig’s hand or
tummy. The second release adds five more characters to the original chorus.
“That’s so
cute; I want one!” squealed my 10-year-old when I first picked up a Sing-a-ma-Jig in the toy department and
started to play with it. And as we experimented with some of the other Sing-a-ma-jig figures, a pair
of college-
 
aged young women approached us. They were
laughing aloud and said that one of the girls' parents had given her The Sing-a-ma-jigs! as a
graduation gift. The young ladies saw and heard us playing with them in the store and immediately picked up some
of the dolls and started pressing their tummies. Before we knew it, we were all laughing and attracting more
attention from other amused shoppers.
Colors of The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs!™
Originally released in four colors, there are now eight colors--
purple ,
orange ,
blue ,
mint green , red,
Yellow ,
hot pink and
light blue .
With each Sing ma jig capable of
performing a classic song, such as "Home On The Range" or "Skip To My Lou", these squeezable characters fit in
the palm of almost any hand, large or small.
Although the toy is the only thing that
comes in the box-there are no accessories or any other add-ons--the price point is not the least of this toy's
broad appeal. The pure entertainment that The Sing-a-ma-jigs provide is easily worth the
price.
However, as I look online for outlets
carrying this cute commodity, I’m already seeing prices rise as the holidays approach. It seems that the word is
spreading--we've got a best seller in the making.
So, if a solo Sing-a-ma-Jig or an entire
chorus of The Sing-a-ma-jigs!™ is on the Christmas list of
someone you love, you’d be wise to act now. This is going to be one of the hottest trends in toys this
year.
