Crate Creatures Snort Hog review

MGA Entertainment have recently released a new product called Crate Creatures and there was much excitement when our beastly new friend arrived at The Madhouse.

Having spotted the "Warning : Do not pull tongue" label on the box, Pierre looked slightly nervous when I encouraged him to do it !

Adding to the impression of the crate containing a dangerous beast, the top of the box is closed with a padlocked plastic chain and a crowbar to open the box (which attaches to the side of the crate, so that you don't lose it).

Once he's out, he actually looks rather cute-scary, with his big grin, small tusks and bright blue nails. He reminded us a bit of a Furby because you can interact with him and discover all the things he can do.

Each Crate Creature comes with a favourite tasty snack, which provokes a unique selection of over 45 ghastly noises when they eat the snack, sensitive noses, tongues or horns, and temperamental shaking if you touch just the right nerve. They will also record your voice and repeat it back – monster style!

It wasn't long before Pierre spotted the bright green bogies hiding up his nose.

Much to his delight, Pierre soon discovered that pushing the back of his head pushes out the bogies - ewww ! He also gets very angry if you pull his tongue and throws up his four arms in horror if you take away his snack before he's finished ! Amongst other things, he also growls, vibrates, chatters and his eyes glow when he gets annoyed !

We got Snort Hog, but there are four different Create Creatures to choose from, including Blizz the ice monster, Sizzle the fire-breathing dragon and Pudge. They require 3 x AA batteries but the great news is, they are included.
