Russ Madagascar Toys

In 2004 Russ signed a licensing agreement with DreamWorks Animation LLC to create products for the film Madagascar, which was released in June 2005. These new plush toys, in stores now, and have been quite a hit. With character toys of Madagascar's Penguin in large plush, Alex Lion, Gloria Hippo, Marty Zebra, Melman Giraffe and the Monkey, it's no wonder. The toys look very much like the characters in the film, and the fabrics used on the line feel like extremely soft terry cloth, making them extra cuddly. The Madagascar toys start at $4.99. You can shop online and collect all the Madagascar characters so that your child can act out scenes of the movie.
