LOS ANGELES— Fiesta, known
for its gift plush, is adding four new ponies and four new
poodles to its existing teddy bear Charmpals collection.

This is really two
gifts in one, a Fiesta spokesman tells playthings.com. Each
plush animal wears a removable charm bracelet around its
neck that can be worn by its owner.
Perfectly pink,
positively purple, bodacious blue and wondrous white with
pink accents are the colors Fiesta has chosen to design each
poodle and each pony. The Pony Charmpals (pictured)
have a lucky horseshoe on their bracelets while the poodles
have a dog bone. Both charms are intermixed between colorful
beads on an elastic band to fit all sizes. Charmpals sit
9-inches tall and are created from plush fabric.
"The marriage of a
traditional charm bracelet with a favorite plush animal was
a great decision and tweens and teens are loving them," says
Michael Lauber, president of Fiesta.
