'Fuzzy Giants' is an apt name for this collection of teddy bear-like toys from the Poznan, Poland-based designer Entala.
The fuzzy dolls are inspired by animals both legendary and real. Whether it is a lion, monkey or a yeti, Entala hits the nail on the head when it comes to these cute and offbeat designs.
Each of the toys wears a dopey, sloth-like expression, which is not a bad thing considering many people's fondness for sloths. Owing both to their aesthetics and to the simple fact that they are essentially teddy bears, these products have wide appeal. They would no doubt be popular with children, but could also find homes on the shelves of some more design-inclined adults.
In recent years, toy design has become more elaborate and developed; as such, many grown people will buy them, not because they need a teddy bear, but because they like the look.
