WowWee Alive Cubs Officially Announced in Press Release

HONG KONG, CHINA, Aug 28, 2008:

From the snowy peaks of the Himalayas to the sweltering plains of Africa, WowWee, an Optimal Group company (NASDAQ:OPMR), has scoured the corners of the Earth in search of inspiration for their newest line of animatronic playmates. The WowWee AliveWowWee Alive Cub Cubs are life-like, huggable baby animals that feature plush bodies and animated facial and vocal expressions triggered by users' touch. Forget trudging through a bamboo jungle or embarking on a safari to catch a glimpse of these wild animals -- now, children and animal-lovers alike can nurture a lovable WowWee Alive Lion Cub, Panda Cub, Polar Bear Cub, and White Tiger Cub in their very own living rooms.

Requiring no cleanup or food - only love and attention - the WowWee Alive Cubs are the perfect snuggle buddies and well-mannered household pets. Complete with adoption papers ready for signing, these plush, cuddle-companions are interactive playmates offering the realistic experience of caring for a baby animal. Ideal for long road trips, show and tell at school, and imaginative rainy day play, the cubs are ready for daytime recreation, nighttime sleep, and the occasional afternoon nap. Responding to their owner's affection via two touch sensors, the WowWee Alive Cub responses include yelps, growls and mews, moving lips and blinking eyes. Scratching or petting the cub's head or back will trigger him to purr with delight. Tilt sensors also enable the cubs to react when they're repeatedly turned over - and they may not always like it!
