Zhu Zhu Pets were the sleeper toy of 2009, becoming a top toy seller of the year, and garnering a number of awards, including a Savvy Auntie Coolest Toy Award! And now Cepia LLC, the company behind these cute, artificially intelligent hampsters, is launching Kung Zhu - the latest in what the company calls their Zhu-niverse!

Your nieces probably love Zhu Zhu Pets and while your little nephews may have liked them too, the older nephews wanted more action. That's where Kung Zhu come in, ready for some Kung Zhu fighting! 

These little guys have earned their black belts in fun - combining the whimsical, mild-mannered fun of the original Zhu Zhu Pets with a level of action and excitement that appeals specifically to your nephews.\

The Kung Zhu clan joins the Zhu Zhu family in the summer of 2010. We can't wait!
