Apriluna Huggy Wuggy, Blue

Product Information

Dorset Police have shared a warning following reports that Year 1 pupils have been exposed to the terrifying clips, which sees the creature singing about "hugging and killing" and asking viewers to "take their last breath." The worrying trend has been branded the online equivalent of the "Killer Clown" craze, which swept across Britain several years ago. We also empower and encourage parents to determine what is appropriate for their children by providing a suite of Parental Control settings that can be used to restrict who children can interact with, what experiences they can access, and how much they can spend. Playtime Co. has created hundreds of distinct toys, but none connected to people more than that of Huggy Wuggy. Our founder, Elliot Ludwig, aimed to create a toy which could hug you forever! As is always true, Playtime Co.’s ‘4-Step process to creating the most lifelike toys,’ was a success!”

A Roblox spokesperson said: "We work tirelessly to maintain a platform that is safe and civil for all. We strongly encourage parents and kids to use our Report Abuse tools to report any content or behaviour they encounter on Roblox that might make them feel uncomfortable or that may fall foul of our Community Standards. Enhanced Durability: Huggy Wuggy's body can withstand damage that would easily kill humans. When he fell from the catwalk, he bled from the impact, but he survived the fall. However, this has been proven false, as it turns out the eyes assumed to have been viewed as a reflection of the floor. Huggy Wuggy's use in fan animations happened as soon as the game launched, with many Let's Play YouTubers using his jumpscare as the thumbnail in their videos, increasing awareness of him. On October 24th, 2021, the YouTube channel Elena [2] uploaded an original animation called "I Wanna Live Meme" in which the creature Huggy Wuggy says they don't want to die while hanging onto the bar of the walkway, earning 1 million views in two months (shown below). However, one of the game's writers, Micah Preciado stated that his design was partially inspired by the Sour Patch Kids candy.There are many videos of Huggy Wuggy on YouTube kids but this isn’t one of them. I personally don’t believe those videos should be there as they actually are being served to kids and include this horror game character but I have no control over what others do. This is the only content I have control over and I have already made sure it’s not on YouTube kids. Huggy Wuggy Games are fun horror, puzzle and reaction games featuring the popular character from the horror video game Poppy Playtime. Huggy Wuggy is a Playtime CO. product that was originally designed for children, but has since become a nasty monster. Its characteristic features are its extremely long arms and legs and its height of over three meters. His fur is bright blue and he has razor sharp teeth bared in his overlapping mouths. His yellow hands, red lips and bullet-round googly eyes complete the picture to the perfect comical monster.

Chapter 2 reveals Huggy Wuggy's identification number is Experiment-1170, and 1006 is a different entity. In Log 08502, Huggy was briefly mentioned as Experiment 1170, and was dubbed the most optimal subject, as he possesses the ideal amount of intelligence and is obedient to the scientists working at the company.

After the police warning was reported by Dorset.live, an American blog then published the headline: "Police Issue Warning To Parents About Disturbing Huggy Wuggy Video." Another American blog reported: "'Huggy Wuggy' TikTok Videos Prompt Police Warning to Parents." The ball kept rolling and more American blogs continued to report on the story, all based on the one police report out of the U.K. Huggy Wuggy is said to be a controversial media character because of children buying toys of Huggy Wuggy and taking them to preschool which caused angry parents to forbid the game.A theory by fans suggests that Huggy Wuggy was Rich, who gets subjected to an experiment conducted by Playtime CO that went wrong for allegedly complaining and speaking out against the company. Huggy Wuggy is a character in a puzzle game which sees players attempt to escape their stalking villain in a toy factory. The game is available on platforms such as YouTube and Roblox and contains disturbing content that is unfiltered due to there being no age rating. We found no evidence that showed the videos in question had been available on the TikTok for Younger Users experience or on YouTube Kids. This does not mean they never appeared on the platform; it simply means there's no direct record that would confirm it happened. In the Monster Tutorial for Project: Playtime, it is divulged that Huggy Wuggy plays a vital role as one of the selected toys assigned by The Prototype to provide sustenance to the smaller, more vulnerable experiments such as the Wuggies. These unfortunate creatures are fed with the remains of the Resource Extraction Specialists, employees hired by Leith Pierre, who have been sent into the monster-infested factory and its attractions in an ill-fated attempt to revive the Bigger Bodies Initiative. I asked him what he had done to ensure that younger children didn’t have access to the video. “As a YouTube creator I have done everything in my power to make sure the video is not served to kids younger than 13. Since the moment of upload the video has been marked “Not made for kids.” Since reports of the song being served on YouTube Kids started about a month ago I have been doing my own periodical sweeps of that platform and I have never found that video or song. I understand how my video being recommended to young kids would be concerning and inappropriate, but all evidence points to the previous reports saying that it’s on YouTube Kids to being false.”

The post said that scary videos featuring Huggy Wuggy were "infiltrating firewalls and filters" and landing on TikTok, YouTube, and even the YouTube Kids app. There's no evidence that videos found a way to get past "firewalls and filters." (The usage of the word "firewalls" here did not make sense.)While we did locate some tutorials on YouTube Kids that showed how to draw the Huggy Wuggy character, we did not see any of the "very distressing" videos mentioned by the lone police report. It's entirely possible that some parents saw the Huggy Wuggy drawing tutorials on YouTube Kids and wrongly believed, without evidence, that that meant the "very distressing" videos in question were also available on the platform. (YouTube Kids is designed for children under the age of 12. Meanwhile, TikTok has a "Teen" setting as well as a "TikTok for Younger Users experience" for children under age 13.) Huggy Wuggy is presumed to be the one who wrote the countless words within the walls during the Vent Chase.

The creator of one of the more popular pieces of fan content was Igor Gordiyenko who is TryHardNinja on YouTube. He created the controversial Huggy Wuggy song that has around 5 million views. Keep video games and YouTube watching in shared family spaces. In video games, you can also set-up restrictions on friends and accessing user generate content that may include Poppy Playtime themed add ons. Also, ensure you have Restricted mode on for your child's account this content is not available to them. Due to Huggy Wuggy falling off the catwalk, it is unknown whether or not he survived, and thus if he will return in future chapters of the game. However, it's widely believed he'll return due to being the main mascot of both the game and the in-game company Playtime Co, as well as appearing heavily in the marketing for the game stated by mashoor.
