Available at participating restaurants nationwide starting September 25 while supplies last, the exclusive line of PAW Patrol kids’ toys feature six collectibles inspired by beloved characters from the hit franchise – Rubble, Liberty, Rocky, Chase, Marshall and Skye. Additionally, each individual toy features a distinctive interactive element that draws inspiration from the unique attributes and abilities of the character they’re based on:
- Rocky: Save the day and light the way with this wearable toy. Press down on Rocky’s head to reveal his light up power crystal inside his badge.
- Skye: Take to the sky with this fun flying toy. Attach Skye to the included propeller and watch her soar up to 5-feet into the air.
- Chase: Activate Chase’s ability to race at lightening quick speeds by simply pulling the toy backwards and releasing.
- Liberty: Send Liberty soaring with this spring-loaded launcher toy. Attach the figurine to the included launcher and push the button to have Liberty zoom into action.
- Marshall: Power up and shine bright with this light up toy. Slide the switch located on Marshall’s left leg to make his power crystal light up and flash.
- Rubble: Have Rubble spin into action and help save the day with this launching toy. Place Rubble in the included launcher and squeeze the handle to launch him forward and spin round in circles.
