Fish saturate a holiday gift when toys sell out on Amazon
Parents everywhere have decided they haven’t heard enough of the song “Baby Shark.”
The popular Pinkfong tune inspired a line of plush toys by WowWee , which the toy company originally sold on Amazon for $17 for singing baby shark dolls, mom or dad , and $8 la for this type of singing block , according to Good Housekeeping .
For those conscious of avoiding earworms, Pinkfong’s videos of children dancing and singing along to the catchy song have been viewed more than 2 billion times on YouTube.
And WowWee announced Saturday – just three days ago – that it would sell its toys exclusively on Amazon, but both varieties are completely sold out.

There is hope for dedicated parents, though. The toys are still available through Amazon, albeit through a third-party seller — at an astounding markup, to be pre-ordered for a Dec. 15 release.
The Baby Shark and Daddy Shark dolls are going for $80 with free shipping, while Mommy Shark is $75. The song cubes are a bit cheaper from the same seller, at $50 for Baby , Daddy and Mommy with free shipping.

If you don’t want to wait, eBay has a large selection of similar toys available for purchase and bidding, going for various prices (but be careful — many are not WowWee’s official version).
For the flexible shopper, there’s always the Pinkfong Baby Shark Sound Book , which retails for $20 on Amazon and is Prime eligible.
