Families can find four collectible Plush Buddies while shopping, including an exclusive Walgreens plush. The exclusive, 8-inch Pudgy features a white beanie that reads “Pudgy” and a hot pink hoodie. It’s only available in stores.
Kids can also collect Scarface Skylar, a penguin wearing a light pink hoodie and brown cap; Sombrero Sal, a friend in a blue hoodie, glasses, and colorful sombrero; and Wizard Willie, a penguin in a bowtie, black shirt, and blue wizard hat.
After selecting their favorite plush characters, kids can use the attached QR code to bring their selections to Pudgy World. The online, open-world game showcases the physical Pudgy Penguins in a digital world, and the QR codes can unlock traits, exclusive collectibles, and more online.
“Our launch at Walgreens marks a significant step in bringing the Pudgy Penguins universe to even more consumers nationwide,” Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins, says. “Pudgy Penguins has always been about making a positive impact on people’s lives, and it’s this connection that has brought us to where we are today — building a brand that brings joy, spreads good vibes, and resonates with fans across the globe.”
The toys are available at 2,000 Walgreens locations. For more information regarding the brand, visit pudgypenguins.com.
