Gogo's are latest toy craze
as Kids go mad on collections

August 08

A toy and games shop in Denton is setting a new collecting craze among children for a new toy created by a Catalonian family and first sold in Spain in the mid 90s.

Gogo’s Crazy Toys, which have been sweeping playgrounds, have now hit the Manchester area, and The Entertainer on Crown Point North Shopping Park in Denton is working hard to cater for the demand from its young customers.

“Our swap sessions are already attracting record crowds as Gogo’s become the must have item,” explains Raychel Higgs from the store.

“We are selling more than 20,000 packets of Gogo’s at our 40 stores throughout the UK every week, but no one really knows why they have become so popular.”

What are they? The toys, sold in 99p packets containing three figures and some stickers, are used to play simple games such as throwing the figures up in the air and counting how many land on their feet.

Raychel adds: “Like the popular Match Attax football cards, the real attraction is collecting and swapping them. There are 80 characters in five colours to collect - 400 ordinary Gogo’s in total. In addition there are five rare figures, which are an incentive for children to keep on collecting.”
