LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 22, 2016) - Spiral Toys, Inc. (OTCQB: STOY), a leading provider of mobile-connected, wireless entertainment technology, has launched its new connected piggy bank product, Wiggy™, on the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo. Wiggy introduces the concept of learning to earn and save money at an early age by combining a toy piggy bank with an interactive mobile app and a linked bank account.

The Indiegogo campaign went live on Wednesday, April 20 and, based on the volume from the first two days of accepting orders, Wiggy's campaign is well on track to exceed the pre-sale funding goal, having received well over 10% of their goal. Spiral expects to begin production of pre-sale Wiggy orders next month.

"Wiggy's launch is off to an strong start having established meaningful brand awareness with over 30,000 unique visitors to our Indiegogo page in only two days," commented Mark Meyers, CEO of Spiral Toys. "We are seeing significant interest in our product and are pleased with the early success of our new strategy. We believe Wiggy will positively impact our future results as we expect it to move into mass retail for the holiday season later this year."

To create Wiggy's marketing and advertising content, Spiral teamed with Feedback LLC, a leading video production agency known for producing some of the most memorable and best performing commercials in the industry. The video is currently live on Wiggy's Indiegogo page and can be seen on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIAjfm8pgso.

Wiggy's Indiegogo campaign marks the first step of its go-to-market strategy. Once the initial crowdfunding campaign is complete, Spiral will shift its focus to a comprehensive direct response campaign where it will launch a full scale advertising and marketing campaign including the airing of the Wiggy commercial on national television.

Meyers continued, "The core focus of Spiral remains creating unique digital experiences around everyday items that leverage our proprietary connected platform. We are on track to bring Wiggy into a direct response campaign during May of 2016. We will be providing an update on our full media campaign strategy moving into Q2 in preparation for our retail launch later this year.

"Additionally, our recently expanded management team is working hard on multiple strategic initiatives including content licensing for Wiggy which can bring additional characters and titles onto our digital content platform."
