Fantastic is the debut studio album by Danish bubblegum dance duo Toy-Box, released in May 1999 in Europe. It spent two weeks at number 1 on the Dutch chart in July, after which it was released on 17 August 1999 in the US.[1] It includes the hits "The Sailor Song", "Teddybear", "Best Friend" and "Tarzan & Jane". The Singapore edition included the "Toy-Box Space Trap" video game for the PC. The Special Christmas Edition of the Fantastic Album featured a bonus track; So Merry Christmas Everyone (X-MAS Bonus) produced & arranged for Candy Hell Entertainment. The artwork resembles to the layout of European PlayStation games.

## Toy-Box videos[edit]

Toy-Box released music videos for "The Sailor-Song", "Best Friend", "Tarzan & Jane", and "Teddybear." Most of Toy-Box's videos could be considered cartoonish, but "Teddybear" is a more realistic video. While "Best Friend" features Amir El-Falaki and Aneela Mirza having a neon sword fight and turning into little fuzz balls, "The Sailor Song" showed several men flying off a boat, and "Tarzan and Jane" featured live monkeys and elephants in a cartoon parody, "Teddy Bear" is set in Paris and showed Amir and Aneela in a more romantic way than the other videos.

## Commercial performance[edit]

By early August 1999, the album had reached worldwide sales of 300,000, with 80,000 units sold in Denmark.[2]
