SwineFlew Limited Edition Toy Figure Now Available
Can a toy relieve the stress, fear and anxiety of the H1N1 swine flu virus? Maybe not, but isn't he a cute little fella?
Leesburg, VA (PRWEB) November 4, 2009 -- Imagination Is Innovation LLC, and James Griggs today announced the availability of the limited edition SwineFlew toy figure. In addition to the toy, they are also announcing the launch of the website, http://www.getswineflew.com, and the Create the SwineFlew Dance contest.
"I created the SwineFlew toy figure in response to all the hysteria surrounding the H1N1 swine flu virus. People everywhere are in a panic over the H1N1 swine flu virus. Young, old, wealthy, poor, doesn't matter. The world is going crazy over swine flu. I thought I would make something a little light-hearted and do my part in easing some of the anxiety being felt around the world," said James Griggs the creator of the SwineFlew toy figure.
"So I thought instead of perpetuating the panic around swine flu, how could I make people smile? On the news we see people faces covered with white masks, standing in inoculation lines with fear in their eyes, and hand sanitizer in their pockets. If I could get just one of those panicked people to chuckle or crack a smile that would be cool."
The SwineFlew toy figure, available now from http://www.getswineflew.com, is a limited edition "art piece," and is not intended for those 12 years of age or younger. The figure is currently available for order in the color pink, and eventually will be available in black or white.
"In addition to launching the toy, we are also announcing the Create the SwineFlew Dance contest. So here's your chance, to create a new dance!" said Griggs, "Do you got moves? And like to grove? Step up and create the SwineFlew dance! for a chance to win an iPod Touch."
