A plush toy having a spherical fabric shell defining a substantially enclosed cavity with an opening forming a mouth. A normally spherical elastic bladder filled with fluid is located within the enclosed cavity. When the spherical fabric shell is squeezed by a user, the elastic bladder elastically deforms forming a generally spherical bubble projecting out of the mouth opening. When the spherical fabric shell is released the bladder retracts into the fabric shell.

Thermoplastic elastomers having improved processability are prepared by incorporating one or more organic sulfate or sulfonate salts into blends of thermoplastic polymers and olefinic rubber and melt processing the mixture. The rubber component of the mixture is preferably at least partially cured.

A process is described for preparing a functionalized EPM or EPDM artificial latex from the EPM or EPDM polymerization reactor without isolating the polymer. The process includes i) post polymerization functionalizing of an EPM or EPDM copolymer, ii) dispersing the functionalized copolymer in water with an appropriate surfactant and iii) removing the solvents. The resulting latex is useful in paper coatings, latex coatings, adhesives, and in impact modifiers.
