Angry Birds to Offer Themed Parks, Merchandise Move over, Mickey Mouse. There's an angry bird coming your way: The Finnish company of the hugely popular mobile phone game Angry Birds is looking to expand into Disney territory: themed parks and merchandise.The addictive video game, which uses slingshots to fling multicolored birds at egg-stealing, evil pigs hiding in fortresses, would turn into branded playgrounds in Europe. The playgrounds, called Angry Birds Land, will debut in Finland and then spread to Britain. The playlands will feature arcade galleries, natch, which would be attached to existing theme parks.The company is teaming up with playground creator Lappset would also offer Angry Birds-themed swings, sandpits, climbing towers, and slides. What, no Angry Birds catapult? What about bacon snacks?The Finnish company behind the game, Rovio, wants nothing short of world domination. Said marketing head Peter Vesterbacka to Reuters, "We want to make Angry Birds a permanent part of pop culture. We're just getting started."After just a few years, the game is the fastest-growing on Facebook and has been downloaded 700 million times since its launch in 2009. http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/angry-birds-offer-themed-parks-merchandise-194333782.html
We have about 15 small stuffed animals, 3 large stuffed animals about 7 shirts, the card game, the knock down game, various posters and pens
LOLl! I have heard them mentioned, even seen some stuffed animals in the mall, but I know nothing about them. Never played the game, etc. The stuffed animals are pretty cool though.
My kids still has a fetish for Angry Birds, but they also get into the "Ugly Doll" scene. At least they include some books they can read. They've been around a while, but I got them one because they were discounted as ToysRUs. Now the kids think they are the new fad. http://uglydolls.com/home/index/322.0
Here's the new one in the house, the Angry Bird Dog Toy. The semi-wonder dog isn't that infatuated with it yet.
