Aqua Dragons, best Community Manager's office pet! / ¡Aqua Dragons, la perfecta mascota para los Community Managers!

We always say that Aqua Dragons are not just for kids, as observing a life cycle and hatch your own little aquatic creatures has nothing to do with age!

In fact, we have deciced to name Aqua Dragons the best pet for Community Managers!

As you may know, Community Managers spend a lot of hours in front of the computer - surfing the internet, writing posts, tweeting, making posts on Facebook, analising... 

That's why from time to time we need some distraction and "eye resting", so, what about relaxing while watching your favorite pets swimming, eating or reproducing?

If you work plenty of hours in front of the computer screen and need a little bit of distraction, hatch your own Aqua Dragons!

 

Of course we too have Aqua Dragons hatched on our desks!

Jurassic Time Travel range hits the shelves at last

We´ve been talking about the "new items" coming for some time. In fact we´ve mentioned in this blog and teased with sections of photos. Fianlly the Aqua Dragons Jurassic Time Travel range has hit the shelves. The UK, Australian and South African consumers are amongst the first to receive these exciting new science toys.

The Jurassic Time travel range is a series of Aqua Dragons kits that work in the same way as our original Underwater World range but that have a cool new Jurassic / Dinosaur theme to them.

Here is a pic of the super deluxe "EggSpedition" item that has a pump that when actioned blows bubbles into the tanks water throught he baby dinosaur´s nose, and also a very groovy light up base for night time viewing.

The EggSpedition tank was designed and created with so much TLC it took 6 months longer to make it to market than originally planned, because we just couldnt stop improving and tweaking it.

The RRP is approximately USD $39,95, AUD $49.95, EUR €39.99

We´d love to hear your feedback.
