Introducing Squinkies Zinkies

I know I have mentioned Squinkies on my blog before because my children adore them.  Well, when Squinkies shrinkie, they become Zinkies!  Blip Toys has done it again.  Squinkies Zinkies are the super new, teeny tiny, squishy squashy addition to the line of mini collectibles, at about half the size of the original Squinkies.

Zinkies will launch with six unique sets, three of which are pictured below.

 Zinkies Train Set

 Birdhouse Fun

 Snug as a Bug Sunflower

Like Squinkies, Zinkies come in their own plastic toy bubble that pops open to reveal a "surprize inside."  Super cute Display & Play toys will give your Zinkies lots to do, with sets like "Snug as a Bug Sunflower" and Tiny Tea Party Teacups".  Each of these sets also includes a squeezer and a magnifying glass so you can handle your Zinkies with love and care.  Every pack comes with twelve exclusive Zinkies, four of which are hidden in colored bubbles to make collecting even more fun!  We were blessed to receive the Small Aboard! Train, Tweetings! Birdhouse, and the Snug and a Bug Sunflower play sets.

 Zinkies Fun!

Everyone is cozy.

What do my kids think?  As with the Squinkies, they love them!  I wondered if the smaller size might be a problem but I assure you it was not.  My kids had so much fun playing with their Zinkies and they loved the squeezers that came with the sets.  C especially liked the magnifying glass.  Even D had a great time playing with our new Zinkies and she is only 2!

Squinkies Zinkies will be arriving throughout the month at retailers nationwide, including Target and Wal-Mart, be on the lookout!

Thank you Blip Toys for this opportunity!

Squinkies: Review & Giveaway

***Giveaway Now Closed***

Congratulations to A Daily Woman

Have you heard of Squinkies?  The little balls with the "surprize" inside.  Well, hot on the heels of the hugely successful Squinkies launch, comes their new line of Squinkies for boys!

Blip Toys says, "It’s a one-inch world of imaginative fun! Boasting highly detailed characters, a unique tactile “squishy” feel, an extensive number and variety of characters, plus the introduction of game play and dispensers.  Squinkies have firmly established a unique category of their own in the toy aisles. Unique only to Squinkies, each collectible figure comes encased in an added play value plastic toy bubble that pops open to reveal its precious content. For added fun and intrigue, each of their bubble packs, have “hidden” characters packaged in frosted bubbles that conceal their treasure and offer an exciting element of surprise. With hundreds of figures to collect, trade and share, Squinkies offers kids the ability to enjoy endless hours of imaginative game play as they create their very own Squinkies world.  And as an added bonus, Squinkies also make great pencil toppers!"

What did C and the girls think?  They love them.  They love the squinkies themselves, they love the toy bubbles and I have been amazed at the many different ways of creative play they have used.

 My kids have been loving this Cars pack!

C was so excited when we opened the Cars Bubble Pack - he is clutching it in this photo.

 The cars inside.

 C's favorite Cars squinkies are Lightning McQueen and Mater! 

 Even D wanted to play with them.

Basically my kids think these are awesome and I have been informed that Squinkies are not only on their birthday lists but Christmas as well :)
