general questions about xoddo

a. what’s a xoddo?
xoddo is just like you or me! he’s an expression of all the things that makes us unique (and sometimes weird). you can make one to look just like you, or have fun creating all sorts of wild combinations… there are so many combinations in fact that it’s very likely that your xoddo will be the only one of it’s kind on the planet - pretty cool huh? when you’re done playing on the web, you can order one for real. it will look exactly like what you designed, but it will be a fun stuffed pal that you can bring along everywhere. you can also put your xoddo on all kinds of things like clothes, mug, stickers hats and things... click around the site and discover what this is all about! xoddo is constantly changing so keep checking back...

b. how do I "build" a xoddo?
building a xoddo is an exercise in trial, error, and experimentation... simply put - you click on the parts you want, move them where you want'em, or to delete it just drag the part back to the picking area where you got it.

c. how many combinations can be made?
well, we don’t actually know, but when we do the math (using factorial & permutations calculators) we get an infinte number of combinations... so what does this mean? there’s a very good chance that your xoddo will be the only one of it’s kind on the planet. pretty cool huh?

f. what materials are used in making Xoddos?
Xoddo materials are safe and non-toxic. We use polyester fabrics for the outsides, and "all new" polyester fiber filling for the stuffing in the standard xoddos. All new non-toxic Polypropylene "pellets" are used in the beaners bodies (polyester fiber in the hands).

j. can I wash my xoddo?
Yes. Stuffed Xoddos are machine washable. We recommend washing separately or with like colors, in warm or cold water, on a delicate cycle. DO NOT BLEACH. Dry on low heat. When drying you may want to throw in some other clothes or dry towels to keep the Xoddos from clinging to the walls of the dryer. Stuffed Xoddos will "puff up" when drying and may need to be "massaged" to regain their original shape.

lets talk. we can put your company or school logo and message on a bunch of xoddos for special events or giveaways.
