The new Plugo line marks a shift from the older, more generic designs to products with distinct personality and charm. As a core IP for PlayShifu, it was reimagined to be more toyetic—bright, bold, and relatable for today’s kids. This fresh visual language boosts recall, encourages engagement, and strengthens shelf presence, ultimately driving better play value and sales.
