Wow! Stuff announces launch of Disney Angel Puppetronic by RealFX

The announcement follows the worldwide success of the company’s multi-award-winning, global sensation, Disney Stitch Puppetronic by RealFX.

Following the success of 2024’s genre-defining hit, Disney Stitch Puppetronic by RealFX, Wow! Stuff is launching the Disney Angel Puppetronic by RealFX. Set to join her mischievous blue counterpart, and with stock hitting retailers from the end of February, Wow! Stuff aims to create another sensation across all channels and territories.

The company’s advanced Puppetronics category combines classic puppetry with animatronics. The introduction of this ground-breaking dual-play technology saw the multi-award winning Disney Stitch Puppetronic by RealFX become the defining product of the emerging Puppetronics category, ushering in a whole new way for kids to play.

Angel’s distinct features bring her to life, including her repertoire of language, realistic movements and touch sensors designed to elicit fun and endearing reactions. Angel will be shipped as a special First Edition for collectors and fans, complete with an Experiment 624 test-tube style display pack and First Edition certification.

Angel’s character debuted in Disney’s Lilo & Stitch TV Series, quickly becoming a firm favourite amongst fans. Originally introduced as a genetically engineered experiment designed to “turn good experiments evil”, Angel encounters Stitch, whose love, kindness and belief in family leads to her transformation, breaking the cycle of destruction she was designed for. With the live-action remake of Disney’s animated classic Lilo and Stitch due to hit cinemas on 23rd May 2025, the continued franchise hype, existing fandom and new audience are expected to contribute to increased interest in all things Stitch.

Originally revealed globally in June 2024, Wow! Stuff’s Disney Stitch Puppetronic by RealFX pioneered an entirely new toy category. The toy’s wins include the Innovation Award at this year’s European Brand Licensing Awards, The Toy Insiders’ Hot 20 Top Toy recognition in the US, Gold at the Independent Toy Awards, and the Ultimate Toy Award in Australia. More recently, the Disney Stitch Puppetronic by RealFX was unveiled as the UK’s Toy of The Year in January, as well as the DreamToys Top 20 for 2024, and was announced as a Toy of the Year North America finalist. The TOTY results will be announced at Toy Fair New York on 28th February 2025.

“Wow! Stuff’s introduction of Disney Stitch Puppetronic by RealFX, and the pioneering of an entirely new toy category, has been one of the most exciting periods in our product development history,” said Dawn Lavalette, managing director, SVP at Wow! Stuff. “Our team of creatives, engineers and scientists strives to push the boundaries, creating toys to wow both young and more mature children. We’re looking forward to bringing Angel to market and introducing her to US and UK consumers.”
