Skelanimals They want your ♥…

How it all started… Skelanimals are adorable little animals who have met an untimely end—mostly due to their own reckless and ill-advised behavior. The 20 characters--ranging from a bat, to a monkey, to a bulldog--are brought to life through funny poems describing their demise, giving the brand its signature, light-hearted feel.

Skelanimals hits fever pitch… Quirky, edgy, and fun, Skelanimals have struck a chord with teens and young adults all over the globe, driving triple-digit sales growth year over year. Over 60 new animals are slated to be released over the next few years, many in limited edition runs, fueling a surge in interest from collectors. The loveable Skelanimals and their clever personalities and hilarious back stories resonate with consumers of all stripes, from counterculture aficionados, to skate and surfer kids, fashion-savvy teens, toy collectors, and young people who just find the animals adorable.
