ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Monstaz were silently introduced through 15 select stores in Columbus, Ohio, in early November 2011. The general release versions were officially announced in the Ty catalog on January 2, 2012, and shipped to Ty retailers nationwide near the end of January 2012.

The general release version of Rufus (key-clip) has several noticeable differences from the test-market version.

   1. The "LUV ME" embroidered patch has been removed.
   2. The eyes are smaller on the general release version.
   3. The chin seam does not bisect the mouth on the general release version.
   4. The fur on the general release version feels slightly silkier than the test-market version.
