ABOUT

Poofaloos began as something wonderfully unexpected—a burst of imagination brought to life through original alcohol ink artwork.

Creator Natalie Embree first dreamed up these quirky little creatures as part of her whimsical Mauihune character world, hand-painting each personality with flowing alcohol inks, playful imperfections, and vibrant emotion. What started as one-of-a-kind art evolved into something much bigger: a lovable cast of characters with enormous personalities, heartfelt stories, and limitless potential.

Today, those original ink-born creatures have transformed into the Poofaloos—a joyful new universe of animated characters designed to inspire laughter, friendship, creativity, and imagination.

Each Poofaloo has its own unique personality, look, and charm, staying true to the spirit of the original artwork while evolving into a modern, collectible character brand built for today’s families.

But Poofaloos are more than characters—they’re the beginning of a full imaginative world.

From toys and plush collectibles to animation, books, games, music, apparel, and licensing opportunities, Poofaloos is being built as a multi-platform children’s brand with franchise potential at its core.

Soft. Silly. Heartfelt. Instantly lovable.

Born from art. Built for play. Ready to take the toy world by storm.

Welcome to the world of Poofaloos—where big personalities come in little poofs.
