Get To Know The Characters
Now the toys can live together happily in your child’s room!
This set includes 6 of the main characters from In The Night Garden so you and your child can make up your own stories and your kids can help the toys interact with each other as they do on TV! Take your child on an adventure with their imagination and a little help from their new friends.

The figures included:
The three Tombliboos who like to play with blocks as well as their special drum kit and piano. Usually found in their lovely round bush, which has many different levels inside where the Tombliboos enjoy playing - now they can be found at your house instead!

Upsy Daisy is generally a happy and optimistic character. Remember, with Upsy Daisy you will have to join in the dance. She loves to dance!

Makka Pakka usually lives in a little cave with his favourite stones. Pretend to go around with Makka Pakka to make sure all of the Garden stones and faces of the other characters are clean and tidy. Or imagine you are riding round the garden on your Og-Pog blowing your trumpet!

Igglepiggle is physical and energetic like a well-loved teddy, always jumping and bouncing. He's curious and adventurous, but also vulnerable and modest and despite his energy, he is often in need of reassurance and comfort and always carries his red blanket with him.
 
All six of these characters are included in this fabulous figure gift pack

Customer Reviews

what I expected: cute pocket-sized set
I agree with previous comments that these are overpriced (as is all ITNG merchadise) but they seem quite durable (although I've only had them 1 day) and easy to bring along in pocket/bag. WOuld be OK for the bath too. They were just what I expected, It would have been nice if they were poseable though. I also wanted to clafify that, although they are called 'story in a box', there is no little story book, or anything at all with it - just the figures.

Better than the Ninky Nonk & Makka Pakka Bath Toy, but still very poor!
As the mother of five children aged between 2 and 21, I am well accustomed to buying toys related to TV programmes & films; but the IN THE NIGHT GARDEN toys are the poorest I have ever seen! (and I've seen just about all of them from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Toy Story to Teletubbies - several times, Thomas the Tank Engine & Harry Potter etc.!) Although these are better than the Ninky Nonk which falls apart when you look at it and the very hard plastic Makka Pakka bath toy which, if it doesn't concuss you when you accidentally get hit over the head with it at bathtime, is certain to split your child's lip when she/he tries to cuddle it; these figures are still overpriced rubbish. They do not have moveable or flexible limbs which rather limits them. Makka Pakka does not have his stone which could easily have been molded into the figure as the Tombliboos blocks have been and Iggle Piggle, Upsy Daisy and Makka Pakka resolutely refuse to stand up. This, to me, is the worst of it. Watching a 2 year old who is just beginning to discover imaginative play struggling to get the wretched things to stay upright at a time when she is working so hard on developing hand eye coordination borders on cruelty! I, personally, love IN THE NIGHT GARDEN. I think it is a lovely, gentle addition to my little one's bedtime routine, but until the producers either switch merchanising companies or insist that this one substantially raises its standards, I would advise other parents to hold off on buying the accompanying products. In terms of quality you would get the same or possibly better value from an unlicensed product bought from a disreputable source. Perhaps if we all make it clear that although we love our children and don't wish to deny them the these lovable charcters in toy form, but are also not completely gullible idiots, the manufacters will get the message and make products worth buying.

solid plastic characters for imaginative fun
My daughter had this for her 3rd birthday recently and is really enjoying playing with the little characters. She also had the ninky nonk, which was rubbish - exactly as described in the reviews. But she enjoys playing with little solid plastic characters and has a number of different groups from her favourite tv shows - Fimbles, Teletubbies etc, as well as dinosaurs, cars and animals. She likes to act out stories with them and talk to them, so for her they are imaginative toys.
For a child who plays like this and is a Night Garden fan, I'd say this was a credible toy.
