:''This article is about the 1980s toy series. See Glowworm for the insect larvae.'' Glo Worm is a stuffed toy for young children, designed by Hasbro's Playskool division, and made in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Introduced in 1982, the plush, pajamaed worm body contained a battery-powered device that when squeezed would light up the toy's vinyl head from within, creating a soft glow. The original toy, upon release, was such a success〔 that Hasbro released a series of story books, night lights, videos and other merchandise that continued until the early 1990s. However, in late 2005, the product was criticized for harming children; its plastic head was softened with phthalates, which can be dangerous if swallowed by children. ==Glo Friends== In 1986, Playskool released a number of "Glo"-based toys that glowed but were made of soft vinyl. These toys, collectively known as "Glo Friends", were so successful that American fast food chain Wendy's in 1989 also released a series of 12 soft vinyl toys to advertise their chain. Their names were: * Glo Snugbug * Glo Snail * Glo Doodlebug * Glo Bug * Glo Grannybug * Glo Clutterbug * Glo Bashfulbug * Glo Butterfly * Glo Bopbug * Glo Cricket * Glo Skunkbug * Glo Bookbug * Glo Nikkibug Additional characters included: * Glo Nuttybug * Glo Sniffle Snail * Glo Firefly * Glo Hopper * Glo Spider * Glo Bopbug * Glo Flutterbug * Glo Turtle (shell opens to carry Glo Friends) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glo Worm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
