Kevin The Carrot fans will be finding themselves running out of room with the latest Aldi toy launch. Yet another plush carrot is on its way this week and this first look shows why it could be the cutest one yet.
So far there’s been Christmas Kevin in a variety of outfits, Team GB Kevin for the Paris Olympics and an Easter outing from the lovable character, who surely has to be Britain’s favourite toy vegetable.
With the launch of Aldi’s ‘Character Favourites’ event in the middle aisle from Thursday, August 22, it would have been remiss for the budget supermarket to leave out its most popular cuddly. But look hard among the bargain items from Paddington Bear to Sonic The Hedgehog and Hello Kitty and eagle-eyed shoppers will find Kevin the Carrot.
Kevin is being sold along with other Aldi favourites in Little Town Snack Bags. These bags are different as rather than sweets or food, they are filled to the top with soft cuddly miniature cuddlies.
There are four ‘cute and cuddly’ Kevin The Carrots in a zippable Snack Bag for £7.99 here. With the whole bag just 32cms big, the new Kevin the Carrots are teeny weeny versions compared to those of the past that are sure to make fans sigh ‘awww’.
Each of the tiny, velvety soft Kevin toys has a different facial expression that can fit in with whatever mood the new owner is feeling. They range from glowingly happy to ones with a cheeky wink. There’s also a more serene, contemplative Kevin that is small enough to sit by a laptop keyboard or close at hand in a pocket.
The bags are part of the attraction as a place to keep the Kevins in or take them out and about to school or work for older fans. It has a garden scene of an allotment where carrots are growing.
Other toy packs available are Teddy Faces or Monster Claws, based on Aldi’s crisps. The colourful Monster Claws come with the tagline on the pack ‘pickled, hot and cuddly’. There are four toys in each of the packs, which are also £7.99 each here.
The Monster Claws pack has four brightly coloured toys in blue, pink, green and yellow that are little monsters, similar to the crisp shapes. The Teddy Faces come in beige but each have a different fun facial expression as shown here. That bag has a tagline ‘cute, kind and cuddly’.
An Aldi spokesperson said: “Now you can take your favourite Aldi characters out and about with this Little Town Snack Bags Soft Toy.” He added that there were “four mini plushies that can be zipped up to keep them safe when on the move”.
The new toys are all suitable for children aged three and over. As with all Specialbuys, these toys will be limited and ‘gone once sold’ with no fresh stocks available.
