EAST AURORA, N.Y., June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- This just in… BIGFOOT was
recently spotted in North Carolina
and is now thought to be headed toward the headquarters of
Fisher-Price, Inc. (a subsidiary of Mattel, Inc. Nasdaq: MAT) in
East Aurora, N.Y. This is
not the first time that the legendary monster has sought refuge
with the toy company. Though BIGFOOT continues to evade the
public, rumor has it that the creature secretly set up meetings
with toy designers in an effort to change his misunderstood image.
So be on the look-out this summer for the friendly monster
with lots of personality as Fisher-Price sets the record straight
with the new Imaginext® BIGFOOT The Monster.

Unlike the legendary BIGFOOT, the Imaginext® BIGFOOT The
Monster is a life-like remote controlled monster friend for
kids three to eight, with lots of personality, fun facial
expressions, interactive phrases like "Wanna Play?" and much more.
Featuring more than 80 actions and phrases, BIGFOOT comes to
life with a kid-friendly foot shaped remote control that has
easy-to-use, icon-driven buttons. With the simple touch of
the remote, preschoolers can make BIGFOOT walk forward and
backwards, elicit happy or angry emotions, fall asleep, throw a
ball, exercise and even do a forward somersault and a backwards
roll! BIGFOOT also features interactive touch points on his
belly and mouth that will make him laugh or eat a leaf that evokes
fun chomping and burping sound effects. The Imaginext®
BIGFOOT The Monster will soon be available at retailers
nationwide for approximately $99.99.
