Seeing two Buddy Balls for the first time, one a brightly colored plush ball, the other a large, super-soft plush animal, it appears impossible that they could be the same toy. And yet a hidden zipper allows the 8-inch diameter ball to be transformed, in a matter of seconds, into a 16-inch teddy bear with a secret compartment for storing hidden treasures. Even more remarkable than the transformation is the fact that the idea for Buddy Balls was conceived by a six-year-old boy named Max, working on a school project to invent the 'greatest toy ever made.' This is a high quality plush animal, with a distinctive teddy bear design that is highly appealing and built to last. It's also so irresistibly soft that kids might occasionally have to pry it from their parent's hands. Buddy Balls come in four different bears (Max, Landry, Sam, and Eva) and ball color combinations.
