This is Merlin, the animated plush bear who’s eager to share his magical knowledge with kids of all ages. He only requires a gentle squeeze of his cuddly front paw to get the conjuring started as this grandmaster of magic’s head bobs and his mouth moves. Clad in a gold-lined cape and wearing a celestial wizard’s hat atop his furry noggin, Merlin enchants his audience with one of 12 rather silly spells spoken in a sweet childlike voice, such as “Polly-wolly-wiggle-pop!” and “Gimme, Gimme Chimichanga!” As Merlin recites his incantations, the star-shaped wand he holds glows with mystical light. Created by Gund, whose plush toys have delighted little ones since 1898, this cute little conjurer is available exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer. Includes three AA batteries. Ages 3 and up. 20" H x 8" W x 8" D. (14 oz.)
