FanTastic is the debut studio album by Danish bubblegum pop band Toy-Box. It was released by Edel on 21 May 1999. It includes the hit singles "Tarzan & Jane", "Best Friend" and "The Sailor Song", and the promotional single "Teddybear". It also includes the "Toy-Box Space Trap" video game for PC. It spent two weeks at number 1 on the Dutch chart in July of the same year.
The artwork resembles the layout of European PlayStation games.
Toy-Box released music videos for "Tarzan & Jane", "Best Friend", "The Sailor Song" and "Teddybear". Most of Toy-Box's videos could be considered cartoonish, while "Teddybear" is a more realistic video. "Tarzan & Jane" featured live monkeys and elephants in a cartoon parody, "Best Friend" features Amir El-Falaki and Anila Mirza having a neon sword fight and turning into little fuzz balls, "The Sailor Song" showed several men flying off a boat, and "Teddybear" is set in Paris and shows El-Falaki and Mirza in a more romantic way than the other videos.
By early August 1999, the album had reached worldwide sales of 300,000, with 80,000 units sold in Denmark.[1]
