Product description
The toys are part of the collection known as the Bizu Line of products. The first item is called the Deluxe Bizu Package Assortment. The retail package includes 38 plastic beads, four elastic bands, one plastic beading tool and four paper character templates. By following the instructions, a child can create bracelets by mixing and matching the various beads. However, by twisting and manipulating the ends of the bracelet once made, they can be transformed into one of four different Bizu animal characters. The retail packaging states that the items are “beads with a twist!” Photographs provided also show these Bizu animals with their own appropriately-sized accessories such as sunglasses, purses and a boombox. The various Bizu characters are available in different collections based on themes, such as “Wild,” “Funky,” etc., which match their appearance. The second item is stated as being the Bizu 2 Package Assortment. This item is similar to the aforementioned product except that it contains only enough pieces to create either two Bizu characters or bracelets. The retail package consists of 17 plastic beads, two elastic bands, one plastic beading tool and two paper character templates. Both items are principally designed for the amusement of girls 6 years of age and older.
