Crystal Creatures anyone?

I found these lovelies by accident when I was looking for Mega Construx Pokemon kits. When I saw these on the website I did some more searching and watched a video on YouTube. Luckily a store nearby had them in stock! While these are a 'blind box' type of toy, the video explained there are codes on the bottom of the eggs these come in. So you can actually get the ones you want. Love that!
I chose to get these three out of the five currently available in series one. But there is a series two confirmed that I am now eagerly waiting for release!
Anyway, here they are:

RoseStone - This one has parts from the 'RubyWing' figure. I swapped tails and the leg cuffs as I felt they fit the look of this one better. You can swap any parts with these sets!
PS - Ignore the wing in the background on this picture. I goes to a Lightfury dragon toy. oops! This figure has holes for wings, but does not come with wings.

Oddly I didn't want the two alicorn figures as much. Although there is a black one I may eventually pick up. I just wanted something different and I adore these deer!
They are poseable, though the wings are too heavy for the joints and can't stay up. Overall a goreous line of toys I hope to see continue!
One NOTE: These are packaged in slime... Sticky, gloopy, slime. I guess that makes them 'fun' to hatch, but I don't care for it.
If you get any I suggest having a sieve with tiny holes to put in the parts (assembly is required, but is not difficult). Once you carefully dig out all the parts (some are tiny!) you can then rinse off any remaining slime in the sink with warm water.
Anyone else have these? I love them!
Trinity:
Those are so pretty!
But I am not very fond of these "new" ways of packaging blind box toys (e.g. the new My Little Ponies do this as well). Who knows what sort of dangerous chemicals/microplastics these are coated in - and what these chemicals ultimately do to aquatic creatures. --- If someone can correct me and prove they're not dangerous, thanks. :)

Unfortunately I have no proof the slime is harmless. The slime is shimmery. So I don't know if it's mica powder, or man-made glitter.
I will say that I gave most of the slime to my youngest stepdaughter. Only the excess was rinsed off the parts.
I get your point. There is now a lot of waste in toy packaging!

Those are really neat! I got one completely unaware of the slime component. It was so disgusting I'm never doing it again. I wish they just sold them in regular packaging.

I agree with the slime. My husband asked if I was ok, as I was grossed out at first! Cold, sticky, gooey slime is not fun.
I washed my hands in between each one. Even though I knew I was going in for more. lol
I will buy more, as there are some great looking creatures coming in series 2. But boy, if you could get it without the slime that would be great!
Edited to add- I do think the toys are well worth the slime dig. Well made and very pretty! <3
