Performies

Performies is a term used to describe specific toy products manufactured by Playtime Toy Company. These toys are known for their plush construction and often feature animated or interactive elements. The "performies" line was particularly popular in the early 2000s. Many of these toys were designed to resemble popular characters from children's media, allowing children to engage in imaginative play.

The toys typically included simple mechanics to trigger movements or sounds, such as pressing a button or a squeeze to activate a song or a dance. This interactivity was a key selling point, differentiating them from more static plush toys. The range of characters available under the Performies brand was broad, encompassing animals, cartoon characters, and other figures appealing to young audiences. The marketing for Performies often emphasized their ability to entertain and provide companionship to children. While specific models and their availability have changed over time, the Performies brand represents a notable segment of the interactive plush toy market during its peak popularity.
