PMI Kids World has expanded the reach of its Chunky Penguin brand – the plush penguins are now available at select Walgreens locations. The expansion follows the introduction of Chunky Penguin into Walmart and Target stores.
Families can find four collectible plush companions while shopping, including an exclusive Walgreens plush toy. This unique 8-inch Pudgy comes with a white beanie printed with “Pudgy” and a bright pink hoodie. It is only available in stores.
Kids can also collect Scarface Skylar, a penguin in a light pink hoodie and brown hat; Sombrero Sal, a friend in a blue hoodie, glasses, and a colorful wide-brimmed hat; and There’s Wizard Willy, a penguin wearing a bow tie, a black shirt, and a blue wizard’s hat.
After selecting their favorite plush character, kids can use the included QR code to bring their selection to the world of Chunky. This online open-world game showcases physical Chunky Penguins in a digital world, with QR codes unlocking features, exclusive collectibles, and more online.
“Our launch at Walgreens marks an important step in bringing the world of Chunky Penguin to more consumers across the country,” said Luca Netz, CEO of Chubby Penguin. “Pudgy Penguins has always been about making a positive impact on people’s lives, and it’s this connection that has led us to where we are today – building a brand that brings joy, spreads good vibes and resonates with fans around the world.”
The toys are sold in 2,000 Walgreens stores. For more information about the brand, visit pudgypenguins.com.
