Anyone who has seen the brilliant Toy Story 3 movie will recognise Lots-O-Huggin Bear, otherwise known as Lotso, the coldhearted villain of the piece. After watching his evil antics in the movie, I did wonder why any child would want a toy of this character, but when my daughter saw him for sale in Smyths, she was smitten and begged me for one! Which was fine....until I saw the price! Any poor parent who has kids who are Toy Story fans will know that this obsession doesn't come cheap. The makers of the movie have cunningly marketed the main characters around the £32 mark, so buying Buzz, Jessie and Woody will not get you much change from £100! As Lotso ...  Read the complete review

Lots - o'-Huggin' Bear came to live with us on Christmas morning. My daughter was delighted which was a sigh of relief for me as this was never something from her Christmas list but rather something that her daddy had fallen for and desperately wanted! If there is anyone on the planet who has yet to see Toy Story 3, then let me explain who Lot-so is; He is a purple soft toy who turns out to be the real baddie of the film. I don't want to ruin the film with too much detail buts lets just say that he was loved and lost and never to be loved again, which kind of turned him into a villain. My daughter is very much a princess type of girl and I was concerned ...  Read the complete review

~*~ Lotso Huggin' Interactive Bear from Toy Story 3 ~*~ ~ My Purchase ~ It was this time last year, almost Christmas, when I was wandering around Smyths toyshop, with a £10 off voucher in my hand. Goodness knows what I was doing, I'd bought all of my daughter's presents, but this voucher was burning a hole in my pocket. Lotso Huggin' Bear was originally priced at £36.99 and very hard to get hold of, and I was there as they were putting out a brand new delivery with a £10 off promotion. After using my voucher it would be less than half the original price, and always one for a bargain, and thinking my daughter would love him, I duly paid my money ...  Read the complete review

~*~*~ Vivid Imaginations Toy Story Lots-O-Huggin Bear ~*~*~ My five year old is Toy Story obsessed and has quite a few of the merchandise available including Lotso, it puzzled me as to why he wanted him after seeing how horrid he is in the film but he did want it so I bought it for him the Christmas before last. ~ What is it? ~ Lots-O-Huggin Bear is the bear from the Toy Story 3 film, at first he comes across as a nice old bear but things soon change and we see him for the nasty misery that he is, so why any child would really want this is beyond me! However Disney obviously thought he would be a popular toy as they brought it ...  Read the complete review

For my daughter's birthday last year, we went a little mad on the Toy Story 3 theme. She had seen the film at the cinema not long before and was absolutely enthralled by the whole franchise. Her 'main' present was the Lotso Huggin Bear, which at the time cost me £50. We had bought her Woody, Jessie, the car and a few other bits and bats, but because of the price Lotso had to be her main present. We had high expectations of the toy and was eager to see if it would live up to these expectations once she had taken it out of the packaging and begun to play with him. We weren't disappointed and neither was she. As soon as you take Lotso out of the packaging, the ...  Read the complete review
