Product Information
You don’t need to be a movie star, a cartoon character or the member of a boy band to be immortalised in doll form. Oh no. You just need to get your hands on the one and only ‘make your own mini me’ kit – the Youdoo Doll.

Create yourself into your very own action figure, add yourself to the realms of Barbie and Ken, or even better create your own troop of dolls of you and all your buddies.

Possibly inspired by the ramblings of Trev and Simon – ‘We don’t do duvets’ – the Youdoodoll is the first ever doll which allows you to create a doll of yourself, your boyfriend, girlfriend, mum or dad, siblings or whoever!

It’s really easy to make your Yoodoo Doll and it really allows you to unleash your inner creative soul.

Simply use the transfer kit provided to put either your face, or that of somebody else who deserves to be ‘dollified’ onto your Yoodoodolls head. The stuffed Yoodoo doll can then be made to resemble whoever you like as it comes with a t shirt (which will also take iron on transfers), skirt and trousers. Then if you’re really feeling creative you can give your doll a special ‘once over’ and apply tattoos and piercings ta-but.

The Youdoo doll is the most unique creative novelty gift you can give to someone for their birthday, Christmas, or just because you want to give them a cool funky present!

Product Information
Morph was born in 1977 and immediately became a massive star!

He emerged from artist Tony Hart’s wooden pencil box speaking gobbledygook (luckily we could read his body language, so he always made sense) and won us over with his charm and ability to morph into almost anything!

Morph was brought in to being by the multi-talented hands of Dave Sproxton and Peter Lord, the duo who founded Aardman Animations (of Wallace and Gromit fame).

So what does Morph’s pal Tony Hart have to say about him?

‘Morph has become a star in his own right now and despite rumours of his demise in the Aardman fire he is very much alive having escaped on his scrambler bike (with Chas on the back) soon after the fire broke out. His ‘clones’ were not so fortunate. He is presently soaking up the orbituaries page. The rest of the year he is either filming, backpacking in Scotland with Chas (determined to see Nessie – so he says), or signing autographs (very small ones). Actually I think all this fame may have gone to his head – I shall have words…’

Want a Morph of your own? Well now you can. This great little set contains everthing you need to make a Morph clone and a few of his famous friends. An instructional DVD is also included to keep you inspired and creative.

Ages 3+

Youdoo Dog is the perfect goody for those that are yearning for the ideal pet but simply haven’t got the room!

How to make the Yoodoo Pet

If you’ve got your own dog, print an image of its face onto the image transfer sheet and then iron it straight onto your ‘Youdoo Dog’s’ head. Haven’t got a dog? Simply find a suitable image online, or take a photo with your digital camera of one of your friends doggys.

A Youdoo Dog’ t-shirt is also included in the kit. Personalise it to your hearts content, by using the iron-on transfer paper or by using fabric pens or paints.
