These are spread around shops here in Sweden in those prize automatic machines which you put some coins in to get stuff. I only own 2, a lizard and a beaver but I wonder are these actually any special?

They remind me of MLP G4 blind bags that are used for charms. Someone just drills a hole into the toy and places a metal loop into the hole.

The pets themselves look pretty common.

Well, they are very very small compared to a regular LPS figure. about1/2 the size or something close to the new babies.

[teresat]

Okay great. Now I want if they are little.

Have you seen the new blind bag LPS? The ones we have here are the same size as regular LPS. So I don't think they are the same. Do their heads wobble? They are definitely based on regular pets. I don't know the exact numbers but we have some of those pets.

[Emfen]

I actually got a pet I can compare size to. And no their heads to not wobble.


Edit:
Pics of the animal danglers. They are in the middle while to the most right is one of the new LPS babies. They cost like 1,5$.

I've seen them at my local Mitsuwa about a year ago in a gachapon machine, not sure if they still have them. Anywhere with gachapon machines would be a good place to look.

I know a mart got them and a smaller candy shop here in sweden, can't remember any other place tho.
Are they called gachapon machines? Anyhow, the animals come in pastel coloured balls with a paper that shows some available. There's probably more than 20 available.

Edit: They are stamped "(c) 2010 HASBRO TOMY China", some got additional information on the head too.

I found some info on Taobao (of course) and then found this:

So they look official! There is only info on the first series.

Edit: Thanks for the additional info. I'll check Mitsuwa here locally too.

My cousing got some other set then too. She have a tiny chihuahua but I haven't seen the leaflet she got with it, but I do know there's a few additional ones that was on the one with the beaver:
- Brown beaver
- Grey mouse
- Pink duck
- Pink kitten
- Beige weasel? with spotted snout
- Aqua bird
- Brown/gray dog (looks like it have cornrows)
- White bunny

And I believe there's a beige hamster as well.
