INTRODUCING THE CHRISTMAS SING-A-MA-JIGS!
If you came here searching for Fisher-Price's Santa Sing-A-Ma-Jigs, you are already aware of this unusual toy and have likely seen him or at least some of his cousins in action. For those of you who have not seen these chattering, singing, and harmonizing creatures, let me introduce you in this brief review.
They were very popular when they were released and the Sing-A-Ma-Jigs made it onto Time Magazine's list of the Top 10 Toys of 2010 and were named Toy of the Year in 2011. The tagline for this series of plush toys was "For kids and kids at heart, the Sing-A-Ma-Jigs" and they did appeal to people of all ages.
Santa was the original Christmas-themed release but eventually there were other Christmas versions, including the singing snowman and reindeer as shown above.
THE VIDEO
This short YouTube video will give you an idea of what the toy was all about.
SANTA CLAUS
The Santa Claus Sing-A-Ma-Jig was a cute little Santa-themed plush toy. He was a fun-loving guy and had three ways he liked to interact with you, which included chattering in his own gibberish language, singing Jingle Bells, his favorite Christmas carol, or singing with his other friends. While he could join in the chorus with the others, he sure stood out from the pack in his Christmas colors of green and red. In addition to entertaining you with his performing ability, he also made a great Christmas decoration.
SNOWMAN
What wasn't to love about this snowman-themed Sing-A-Ma-Jig? He was adorable and he also sang Jingle Bells, chattered, or sang in harmony with his friends.
REINDEER
The Reindeer Sing-A-Ma-Jig was another adorable choice. He sang We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and, of course, he chattered and sang along with his friends. I am sure he was meant to represent Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer though he was not licensed nor sold as such since The Rudolph Company tightly controls the copyright and trademark to that character.

ReplyDeleteWhat adorable and fun Fisher Price singing toys and perfect for Christmas! I am sure children who got them in the past, as well as those who are fortunate enough to find one now, will be thrilled with this gift.
ReplyDeleteHow handy the eBay site is for acquiring out-of-production, or retired, Fisher-Price toys, especially ones we may have loved as a child and never got to have one. Great for collectors, or just for sharing the joy of a beloved toy today with our own child! Thanks so much for doing the research on this festive holiday toy, Brenda. A lovely trip down memory lane. :)
ReplyDeleteFisher Price was a staple in our house too - I love their products!
ReplyDeleteThey sound like a fun way to make a family song night with chorus!
