Piranha Toys Figurines
The Piranha Toys Figures are figurines by Piranha Studios in Newcastle, UK. They created five different types of toys of Crazy Frog. The Piranha Toys products were listed on the official store page, theannoyingthingstuff.com[1], alongside with other Crazy Frog merchandise. Erik Wernquist explained his choice of manufacturer in this quote:
"Piranha Studios are the obvious choice for designing and manufacturing the product line. The creativity and success of the company continues to go from strength to strength"[2]
Giant Bobbleheads
Riding Pose "Head Nodder"
Crazy Frog as he rides his invisible bike. The figure was distributed by Vivid Imaginations, Ltd. This figure has a bobbling head and a stand with a button which plays edited first half of 2TAKTARE.MP3 when pressed. Parts of the helmet, arms and legs are made from a rubbery PVC material, so they are bendable. There are a few differences with the pre-release version: the stand was black color and the music button had a "The Annoying Thing" logo instead of the white stand saying "Push Me" on the released product.
Regular figurines
The Annoying Thing Pose
The physical representation of one of Wernquist's original renders.
Wheee! Pose "Desk Wobbler"
Crazy Frog with raised arms and legs as in Wheee! renders. The figure is attached to the metal spring
Wheee! Pose Musical"Computer Wobbler"
This figure is similar to previous one, except it has a stand with button which plays sounds when pressed.
Keyrings
Similar to the regular figurines, except they have straps to be attached to a keyring. They came in three variants:
- The Annoying Thing Pose
- Riding Pose
- Wheee! Pose "Dancing Car Dangler"
- On this version of the figure, the head can be moved because of a spring inside, and instead of a keyring on the rope, there are suction cup to mount to a car dashboard.
Musical Ball
There is one variant of this toy. It is of the Wheee! pose with straps, but it's merged with a soccer ball figure. It is activated with a button on the head, and starts spinning and playing sounds.
Phone Charms
There are a few different phone charms. Some of them weren't listed in official shop, but their overall look share exact same style and their paint job are very similar to other Piranha Toys products, so they are most likely prototypes:
- Riding pose "Flashing Phone Dangler"
- The Annoying Thing pose
- Wheee! pose
- Curious pose
- Sitting pose
Other Prototypes
There were couple of unreleased types of regular figures. All of the figures have biker clothing and almost all have green grass as a stand except for the walking one. There is also an original mold for the regular The Annoying Thing pose.
- Boxing - Wears red boxing gloves.
- Baseball - Holds a baseball bat.
- Surfing - Stands on a surfing board.
- Soccer - There are two nearly identical figures, but differ in the face and pose. Both figures have a soccer ball, which is placed on different sides.
- Golfing - Holds a golf club and has a ball
- Walking - Looks like it is walking similar to how he does in Crazy Frog in the House.
Rare Versions
There is a rare collectable which is original retail edition of the classic Crazy Hits CD album, which comes with a regular 'Riding Pose' keyring in a special box.
