Bu-Lou and Hooligan are not sock puppets despite resembling them. They are sock creatures. Overstuffed lovable empathetic sock creatures, each with a story of their own. Bu-Lou is a floppy-limbed blue striped dog with a shy smile, and Hooligan is a happy-go-lucky chicken-esque sock toy with a laid-back attitude.

RUSS has come out with the perfect gift to give your little ballerina to break the pre-dance jitters or to reward a beautiful performance. The shining stars Ballerina Bichon is a fluffy soft white stuffed dog in a pink tutu with a twist. Each “Shining Star” toy from Russ comes with the ability to name your own star through the International Star Registry of Illinois, and to participate in an online environment.
