CEO Dean Tempest said: “Pop It Pets have Big Potato written all over them. They are inventive and funny, which is right up our street. But best of all, the inclusion of the bubble-popper is genius – it makes them so ridiculously tactile and stress-relieving. Well done to Buffalo for such a good idea. We’re really chuffed to be able to team up with them to bring Pop It Pets to the UK.” Pop It Pets are released in seasonal series and limited edition series for holidays/events. There are currently 3 series of Pop It Pets, with 1 more expected to release later on.Poptastic! - Pop It Pets that are more uncommon to find in mystery bags, rarer than Popular and easier to find than Pop Wow!
