History

A Youtooz figurine for Crazy Frog has been in the works for a while. On May 26, 2020, the Twitter account for Youtooz direct messaged @TrueCrazyFrog with concept art of a potential figure, saying "crazy frog, you need a youtooz."

On August 21, 2021, a Youtooz figure was confirmed on a blog post by King Features, stating that Crazy Frog will become one of their licensing properties.^[3]

On March 7, 2022, Youtooz announced on their Twitter account that the figure will be coming soon.^[4] The caption, "who was in paris," references a tweet by @TrueCrazyFrog that references @CrazyFrogg wanting to "go to paris."

TikTok of prototype

On March 10, 2022, a TikTok featuring a prototype version of the figure was shown.^[5] Compared to the concept art, the figure is less hunched over and has a smaller lip. The figure also appears to be rather small, about the size of the recorder's finger. The final model also has Crazy Frog's penis.
