- Meet Grinby, Boingo, GeeGee, Slats, T.K. and Scopes, cousins
- of the popular Koosh Ball toy -- a "cross between a porcupine
- and a bowl of Jell-O" that goes "koosh" when you catch it.
-
- OddzOn Products, Kooshmakers to the world, has literally put
- a new face on its product. By Christmas, these six fibrous
- friends will sit beside cash registers at 30,000 stores
- nationwide. Price: $7 to $8.
-
- For the past three months, Koosh Kins have ranked among the
- top 10 non-TV-promoted toys, according to The Toy Book, a trade
- publication. Says associate publisher Jim Silver: "If [OddzOn]
- created some sort of animation, they could do even better."
- That may be next. OddzOn hopes to spin off a TV program (Koosh
- Kin Kartoons?) and may soon have Koosh Kins klinging to
- sleeping bags and lunch boxes.
