Target Toy Sale in Big Hands

Target Australia promoted its annual Big Toy Sale with an innovative media campaign, “Big Hands”. Outside a Target store actors dressed up as big toys (two wrestlers, a soldier, a bride and groom) and attached oversized hands to their costumes. Once the big toys started performing, it created the illusion that the hands were actually playing with them.

  1. I am trying to find the type and price of a sandpit you had in the midland wa store a couple of months ago but find your site very user unfriendly- please supply me with the details if you have them- it was in the shape of a ship and approx $400.00
