First there was the "Cabbage Patch Dolls", then there was "tWibbles", but now there is "Noah's Pals". Noah's Pals are created by Kaboodle! Toys, LLC and may in actuality create a "tipping point" for collectible toys like never seen before! I have seen so many collectibles submitted for review, but there is no question that Noah's Pals have created an entirely new dimension in collectibles. Each animal is so splendidly created with meticulous detail in each piece which makes them unique and attention drawing.

What sets them apart from the rest can be contributed to a number of features which Noah's Pals have to boast about. Just imagine these animals which are built to a 1:24 scale, hand painted, and so strong of detail that you can literally see the change of the direction of the hair on some of the animals. The hair on animals doesn't just grow in one direction, but in actuality will change it's direction of flow on the animal so that a distinct pattern is prevalent to see. Noah's Pals are so detailed that you can even see this distinct and unique pattern on these collectible pieces! If that isn't enough, each animal has it's own educational ID card that contains a unique serial number.

The SRP on Noah's Pals ranges from $2.50-$20.00. The ark has an SRP of $45.00. As you can see whether you are a consumer or buyer, the price point is more than reasonable and you definitely get more bang for your buck!

Cognitive development, creative skills, and so much more are vital in the positive development of a child. Noah's Pals provide the stimulation of many of these factors while at the same time providing a serious FunFactor. With such incredible detail as well as educational information on each animal with each individual card, you have a combination that is well worth far more than the price of each set of animals.

Collectibles normally are nothing more than collectibles; no additional benefits are gained from them. Not so with Noah's Pals. Five of the animal pairs are endangered species and only 10,000 editions of them have been created. There are ten vulnerable species and 20,000 pairs of them have been created. Altogether there are forty animal pairs as well as a figure of Noah and two small doves and a spacious Ark what is also quite strong in detail.

Caboodle! Toys is partnered with "The Wildlife Conservation Society, (WCS)". WCS saves wildlife and wild lands through careful science, International conservation, education, and management of the world's largest system of urban wildlife parks. WCS receives a donation of 5% of net profits from the sales of Noah's Pals™. There is nothing more impressive than when you see a company form such a partnership.

The evaluation of the Noah's Pals was quite different than most. With such detail and so much to consider in the evaluation, the evaluation process was far more intense. Every participant in our evaluation process was quite impressed with Noah's Pals. As Patricia Newton, an elementary school teacher in California expressed, "Noah's Pals is one of the most wonderful products I have seen in quite some time." "The detail is so defined and children will find the animals irresistible." "Now, considering the information on each card, the combination of the cards and the animals is a prized possession for any family member." From the educational standpoint, this is a perfect addition to a classroom." Patricia's opinion gives an excellent viewpoint which was considered in the evaluation process.
