Toy Story Collectors Edition Lotso Huggin Interactive Bear

Lotso Huggin’ Interactive Bear from Toy Story 3 My Purchase It was this time last year, almost Christmas, when I was wandering around Smyths toyshop, with a £10 off voucher in my hand. Goodness knows what I was doing, I’d bought all of my daughter’s presents, but this voucher was burning a hole in my pocket. Lotso Huggin’ Bear was originally priced at £36.99 and very hard to get hold of, and I was there as they were putting out a brand new delivery with a £10 off promotion. After using my voucher it would be less than half the original price, and always one for a bargain, and thinking my ... more

I'm A Hugger! Anyone who has seen the brilliant Toy Story 3 movie will recognise Lots-O-Huggin Bear, otherwise known as Lotso, the coldhearted villain of the piece.

We had high expectations of the toy and was eager to see if it would live up to these expectations once she had taken it out of the packaging and begun to play with him. We weren’t disappointed and ... more

My daughter nagged and nagged for one of these at Christmas and after trailing the shops and spending a small fortune i eventually got one to send to Santa. She was delighted and became her favourite toy.....for 2 days! Lotso is very appealling and loveable. His phrases such as 'i need a hug' and his giggling when he is tickled is very endearing but unfortunately, at my house the novelty soon wore off. The bear is very well designed and i was surprised by how soft and squidgy it is. With most talking soft toys you can feel the battery case inside but lotso feels just like any other teddy bear ... more
