Compare the Meerkat toy on sale for Christmas
UPDATE 08/12/2009: Meerkats donated to charity and Meerkat toys available on eBay
Comparethemarket.com's meerkat star Aleksandr Orlov will be on sale exclusively in Harrods in December as a talking toy.
The teddy, which will cost 19.95, will say the popular "simples" catchphrase and make his famous squeak sound when his belly is squeezed.
Only 5,000 of the toys, which come complete with robe and scarf, will be made and the sale of each toy will include a donation of 4.34 plus VAT to the London Zoo charity ZSL.
Aleksandr Orlov already has a strong online following with his own Facebook and Twitter pages. Facebook friends of the star were given a preview of the recent adverts before they were aired on TV.
