EAST AURORA, N.Y. - Bigfoot was recently spotted in North Carolina and is now thought to be headed toward the headquarters of Fisher-Price, a subsidiary of Mattel in New York. This is not the first time that the legendary monster has sought refuge with the toy company.

Fisher-Price's Bigfoot heads to storesThough Bigfoot continues to evade the public, rumor has it that the creature secretly set up meetings with toy designers in an effort to change his misunderstood image. So be on the look-out this summer for the friendly monster with lots of personality as Fisher-Price sets the record straight with the new Imaginext Bigfoot The Monster.

Unlike the legendary Bigfoot, the Imaginext Bigfoot The Monster is a life-like remote controlled monster friend for kids ages 3 to 8, with lots of personality, fun facial expressions, interactive phrases like "Wanna Play?" and much more.

Featuring more than 80 actions and phrases, Bigfoot comes to life with a kid-friendly foot shaped remote control that has easy-to-use, icon-driven buttons.

With the simple touch of the remote, preschoolers can make Bigfoot walk forward and backwards, elicit happy or angry emotions, fall asleep, throw a ball, exercise and even do a forward somersault and a backwards roll.

Bigfoot also features interactive touch points on his belly and mouth that will make him laugh or eat a leaf that evokes fun chomping and burping sound effects.

The Imaginext Bigfoot The Monster will soon be available at retailers nationwide for approximately $100.
