From the desk of the product designer:
Behind the design
“The anglerfish is a perfect example to show how bioluminescence is a functional feature. The lure glows to attract dinner, so we made a light-up plush that blinks off when you chomp!”

My grandson said he really likes the "teef" and "everyfing"! He has learned big words like bioluminescent. It's a really cute puppet. Perfect for little hands. The inside of the mouth is a little rough when your face is being eaten off. Wish it would turn off by itself. Sturdy and fun toy. Came well packaged.

Love this puppet! The glow in the dark areas and light up eyes and lure are so cool and the informational cards and poster that come with it made my son's day! Angler fish are so niche and this is such an awesome one

This was purchased mostly as a joke for our anglerfish obsessed four year old. It’s quickly become a favorite toy and one that is complimented everywhere it goes! I appreciate the quality of the item; it’s soft, well-stitched, and the glow and light work well. The puppet is great for small or large hands. Additionally, the fact cards that are included in the box are great. I would absolutely purchase another item from Kiwi Co.

My son loves the Light-Up Anglerfish puppet. He insisted that we turn off all the lights so the fish could play with the other stuffed animals in the dark.
