Watch the spot
Was Telebrands' 2010 hit Crazy Critters an outlier? Following my rule of three, the answer is heading toward "outlier." The no-squeak version of Crazy Critters -- 2013's Hushies -- failed.
On the other had, this borrows a few lessons from Wobble Wag Giggle Ball, a rollout this year from Allstar/Lenfest. It could be viewed as a cross between that hit and the aforementioned hit. Does one past hit plus one present hit equal one future hit? I guess we'll find out.
S7 Analysis: Much like toys for kids, toys for pets always fail the needed question and usually pass the different test. That's the case here, although I wonder if the recency of Wig Wag diminishes the perception of difference.
