Title: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: reanna-mator on August 04, 2013, 06:05:12 PM
Have you seen these little guys? They were in the same aisle at TRU and at first glance I thought, "wow, Troll ripoff." But then I took a look, and they really are adorable. They have great colors and designs on them, and the box art is super precious.

I didn't buy any today since I'd never heard of them until I walked into the store, but I'm pretty sure I'll be going back for a few of my favorite characters. It seems like a fairly new thing; checking out their website, it looks like they've just got one series so far, with just a few graphics and games and a whole lot of "coming soon!" stuff.

Oh my gosh. That is adorable.
Looks like they're planning on rolling out LOTS of these. At 6.99 each I don't think I can afford to collect all of them while concentrating on ponies, but I will probably start picking up the ones I really like.

Anyone else been tempted by these? I think I might end up needing a support group after looking at that much cuteness.

This looks to be all of them that are out right now.

If I had to pick, I think Garny, Vampula and Spellinda are my favorites.I'm quite fond of Howlette, too, since her "power" is creativity. Plus, she's got a tail! I love how much variation they have beyond their colors and paint-- different wings, appendages, horns, fangs and such.

That was kind of my reaction. "Oh no, I have to buy these now!" XD

I think after work tomorrow I'll go back to the store... and try to buy only one for now.

Post by: Wardah on August 04, 2013, 07:34:30 PM
The Lil ones are 2.99 at TRU which is the same price as a pony blind bag. I think the medium ones will be cheaper when they are at Walmart.

Aww! I do love colourful toys.

It's not a Treasure Troll rip-off, btw, it's a re-brand. (Troll is pretty negative since the aparition of internet trolls.)

It's great they are going in another direction style-wise, I was never a fan of the original Trolls.

Post by: reanna-mator on August 05, 2013, 02:18:59 PM
I just picked up two of them today, Spellinda and Garney. Their hair is super soft, even more so than I remember troll hair being. The paint is great-- I love all the detail. Garney, besides the rose and thorns on her, has a spider and web on her arm.  A cute touch is that they all have a "z" on their butts!

I'll definitely be getting more of these, they're just too precious. And I really want them to do well.
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: Wardah on August 05, 2013, 05:33:45 PM
Actually the Zelfs don't have any kind of official connection to the Trolls. They are made by an entirely different company and not licensed by them either. That is probably why there is no mention of the word Troll in any of the marketing too.
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: justkitter on August 05, 2013, 05:42:18 PM
I saw these in store, went "oh no!" and looked them up when I got home.

Then I went back the very next day and bought them ALL (except that ultra rare one :cry:)

I was concerned when I saw the website said this was only series 1.  Now I'm SUPER concerned because this picture that was posted says they will be released every 3 months!  (I'm a completionist, so yeah, SUPER concerned!)

Anyway, if anyone sees the ultra rare Clover Zelf grab it (and sell it to me.....)

Yeah, I know! XD I tell myself that I don't have to have all of them but I know how that goes...

And trust me, if I find Miss Clover I'll let you know!
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: justkitter on August 05, 2013, 06:08:47 PM
Yeah, one of the first things I did when I got home to look them up, was to try and figure out how "rare" this Clover one would be.  Could I buy it cheap-ish on Ebay?  Was it available to order directly from a store?  But all I found out was that they were SO new, no one had them online, and if I did see them, they were DOUBLE what TRU wanted, so I went back and got them all while I could!

I really hope finding Miss Clover won't break my bank!  I also hope that the ultra rares aren't released every 3 months too -_-

I remember seeing somewhere that there would be only 10 000 Miss Clovers worldwide but I don´t remember where it was :blush:

Post by: tulagirl on August 06, 2013, 08:43:12 AM
To me they kind of remind me of Trolls.  When I saw them the other day that was the first thing I thought...another take on the past Troll Craze.  I have no plans to get any of these because, they remind me too much of a troll like creature.  I can see where people will love them though.  So have fun collecting.

Post by: papier on August 06, 2013, 09:08:13 AM
I have two miniature ones already, and some of the tiny pencil-topper ones that come in little plastic pots! I'm disappointed to hear that Clover will be even more limited than I thought she would. I'll definitely have to keep her in box if I find her.

Post by: lockette on August 06, 2013, 11:06:59 AM
Aaah! I know they tried to rebrand Treasure Trolls a few years back and it didn't really take off. I like this approach WAY BETTER. The faces are so reminiscent of the Trolls that I associated them right away. But they're a brand new, modern toy. I love them! I'm not collecting toys as much as I used to (TOO MUCH CLUTTER, oh my gosh, I had to stick to ponies) but... I might be tempted to pick up one or two of these if I see them around, once I get unpacked and see where there's room...

Post by: Yuitsu on August 06, 2013, 12:57:18 PM
I picked up a mini today, got glittery Howlette. They're cute little things!

Oh and the large ones have three different finishes - glow, glitter or pearly. >.<

THANK GOD I don't get to go to TRU very often... Between the ponies and monsters, I don't think I have anymore shelf space!



Oh, who am I kidding, I'm going to end up with these too!

Post by: Applejax on August 06, 2013, 04:42:21 PM
Please post pics of yours here. Also, I really want Clover and not because she is rare, so if someone could pick her up for me I would really appreciate it. I think she is so perfect, I love her!
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: justkitter on August 06, 2013, 06:09:12 PM
I found mine at TRU in the TMI section.  I think they were just thrown in somewhere for now.  I didn't see the flower pot ones.  I'd love to see one out of the pot!  Or maybe I don't:)  Less temptation!

The website says they will be available at Walmart, TRU, Justice, and Amazon.  That first day I saw them, I shopped all over the internet looking for them (I hate giving TRU my money.) but they were nowhere to be found at retail.  For once, TRU had the best price :shocked:

All mine are still on the card.  Not sure if I want to open them yet :wonder:  If Clover will be as rare as they say she will be, I'll probably keep her MOC, so the rest might stay that way too.....

I had a hoard of Trolls when I was a kid, and have absolutely none of them now - I can't buy any because if I do they will surly multiply. Can't have that. I haven't seen any down here though so that will make things easier.

Post by: Yuitsu on August 07, 2013, 02:08:39 AM
I want a Clover too, didn't spot one in Asda though.

I think the plantpot mini Zelfs are on Series 1 and will have more serieseseses as those are the real pocket money toys that kids can buy every week.

I'm quite taken with Mermalade. Curse my liking of mermaids and water!

I rarely fall for kids toys but these are soo cute! I want Flamey and Spellinda! And maybe Elfa, Howlette and Garney too... but the medium ones are $26 shipped on ebay... maybe if I can find them cheaper eventually I'll get a couple.
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: justkitter on August 07, 2013, 03:55:43 PM
The mermaid one is one of my favorites (for some reason, I don't really know why XD)

They are VERY new, so I'm sure prices will go way down soon.  Don't buy online just yet.  The one's I've seen online are double what TRU charges, and you know TRU charges on the high end:(

And I'm gonna quote this because I laughed and then said "So true!"

Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: justkitter on August 07, 2013, 06:06:00 PM
It's that tween section that has make-up and locker decorations, and hair ties, and all sorts of random tween stuffs:)  It's all labeled "TMI."  I don't think I've ever took the time to figure out what the letters stood for.


Just looked it up cuz I got curious.  It's not "TMI" it's "TM!" and it stands for Totally Me!  I bet everyone knows what I'm talking about now.  Helps to have the proper information when posting, doesn't it? :rolleyes:  Oops!

Sorry guys!

Lucky me, I think they're cute and Gennybean is 7 and really wants them, especially the rare one! They have an online offer of two big, two medium and two small ones for $20 plus shipping, but I don't think you get a choice of which ones you get.

Oh no, I have to confess something only ya'll would understand. I may or may not have driven to TRU and bought Genny two of them, then proceeded home to get the tv ad special. Then preordered some from TRU for Christmas and a few for me.
I think we're hooked.

I really want Spellinda. I don't have a TRU within two hours of where I am. If someone would be willing to pick her up for me I would really appreciate it. I can pay right away for her.

I am going to be stopping at TRU this weekend. If you want, I can see if they have one and grab it for you. Let me know!

I went to TRU on sat.  I had to get at least one.  It was pretty hard to choose. In the end, green eyes won me over... like they always do.  I really love the cobwebs and roses design.

I don't know if I'll buy another from this release. But if they really do make more every 3 months, then I will have fun picking a new one from that release.

Do they remind anyone else of the "Dark Crystal"?   I see Gelfing or Podling in those long faces.

I hope they will sell these worldwide. I live in The Netherlands, but for now they seem to be only for sale in the US and UK. (Well, at least I don't have to worry about spending grocery money on toys)

Urgh, I have yet to even see one.  The toy section at the Target near us is not the greatest, and that's the only place I really get to go.  This is going to be one of those things I have to track down even later in my life, I can see it now.

Mostly a lurker and former MLP collector and I was at TRUS today and bought two! I got mermalade and Angelala.

No Miss Clover sightings in Green Bay, WI. Target didn't have them yet.

Went to Toys R Us today and got two! Spellinda and Pega Sue. Was near a Walmart later and got one of the minis.. a pearly Pega Sue! No Clovers at either store..and the Zelfs are cheaper at Walmart. (well, except for the sale today at TRU!)

My sweetie is so good to me. Letting me get toys!

They are looovely - thanks for all the pictures, further convinces me I must have them! is it true two of them glow in the dark? Anyone have pictures of  that?

Right now I just really want the little purple guy ...but there is no Smyths near me, so I'd have to pay crazy internet money or go to ARGOS....

But I feel embarassed to buy them from Argos - as they are an 'assortment' and the staff would send  in a random one from the warehouse out back.

 I worry, that I would  request to see a selection ...and they would bring out 10 of them, all different....

....and the purple one would not be there.

Then I'd say thank you for the trouble, but none of these are right

Then...they will roll their eyes at the crazy fussy lady...who wasted their time on a busy weekend (cause my Argos is busy and I can only go there on the weekend)

....AAAHHHHH, WHY DO THERE HAVE TO BE TWELVE of these adorable guys? ITS OK WITH PONIES, THE ASSORTMENTS ARE USUALLY only UP TO ABOUT FIVE

*sobs in a corner*

That is all :)

Hello Cassandra,

Thank you for taking the time to email us, we really appreciate it.

The Zelfs have now hit the shelves of your favourite retailers.  You should be able to purchase them from the following stores;

Toys R Us, Toyworld, Target, Myer, BigW and Kidstuff Store.

We hope this information helps you.

Warmest Regards,
Brooke


But I checked everyone of those retailers today and nothing :cry:

Does anyone know if Miss Clover will be found in stores in Australia? I know she's a mail order exclusive in the UK (and on shelves in the US).

I wouldn't mind knowing that as well :)

Ooh your pega sue looks really different to mine! Mine has green and on the outer part of her hair, and the dark pink on the inner bit. But yours has the pink on the outer and it shows up much stronger!

I wonder it it's a common factory variation or one of us has an unusual one?

Why whhhhhy is everything so cute!

I was at Walmart picking up swap things and they had these there and omg they are so cute in person! They also had the little "blind bag" types that come in a flower pot so of course I had to get one of those...

I discovered that you can usually pull up the top label a bit and see which hair color they have in them, but you can't tell what finish they are (pearly,glitter, regular) I really really wanted a mermalade but they didn't have any blue haired ones in the display I found. Other than the bigger ones I can't justify (to my mother) buying any more dolls :/// I might cave anyway. I'd love clover too but they don't have her in the BB size I guess.

I saw them in person for the first time today! Dang, but they are CUTE. :lovey: I love the medium size, totally want Garny and Spellinda someday when I have money that hasn't been spent on dolls or ponies (in other words, not right now XD)

I looked for Clover, too, just in case, but no dice. I don't know whether she'll be in Canadian stores or a mail-order, though.

Wierd! I don't know. Mine's the only one I've seen in person but probably just a factory variation I'd guess.


Got the other 5 today!

I bought one yesterday and there were three in the store and they all had different hair. One had more green - the one I picked had more pink. I can't remember what the other looked like.

Our local TRU is having their grand opening tomorrow (they moved to a new building down the road). I'll be at work but my awesome husband might go check for some MLP and Zelfs for me. I love these little guys!  :heart:

I haven't seen them at any other stores. Just Toys R Us. I didn't expect to find and any clovers. I'd been checking once every 1 to 2 weeks since I saw them there about a month ago maybe. I found the one clover and I was looking over the others and completely missed the second on right in front almost.

I think they are just starting to get in the circulation. I always feel guilty because I bought the only two Zelfs that were rare. I felt like a greedy person. I guess I was there,got lucky and there wasn't anyone in that section of the store anyways. I doubt anyone really knows about Zelfs anyways.

Toys R Us has Zelfs on sale right now!  The mediums are 4.99 right now, but the sale has been going on for a few days already, so you might want to hurry if you want to catch that sale. I don't know what the prices of the large and small were.

I had a coupon for 20% off my entire purchase, and ended up buying freaking two each of almost ALL OF THE MEDIUMS for $3.99 apiece.  (I didn't get the werewolf or devil ones because they didn't appeal to me, but I got all of the other mediums.)  Didn't get a Clover, though.  Still, it was such a huge discount I couldn't pass it up while I had the chance.  $3.99 was pretty awesome.  I got one set for myself and one set for my daughter.  LOL.  Luckily my TRU was fully stocked, and had dozens of them.

So we've deboxed several, and the rest I have stored in my closet so we can slowly debox them one-by-one later.  (Or should I say two-by-two?)

By the way, I saw variations in the hair on Pega Sue there, as well.  The two Pega Sues I got each had different hair.  One had hair that was more green, the other had hair that was more pink.

Oooh. I bet today was the last day of the sale though, with tomorrow being sunday.

Are these available anywhere besides WalMart and TRU? I'm headed out of town tomorrow and I'm planning on trying to hunt some down. There's one WalMart in my town, and that's the only store within 45 minutes' drive that would have them, and no luck. How does WalMart's pricing compare to TRU? (I think they're usually about $7 at TRU, is that right?)

Don't feel guilty! I would have snapped them up too. It's really common for collectors to buy more than one of limiteds anyway, eg one to keep one to sell.  Grats on your luck! Personally I think the price for miss Clover is at it's absolute peak currently and may drop in the long run (because 10,000 - is A LOT.)
I mean, by comparison, limited Disney dolls ( a more more popular franchise) don't raise by THAT % of their original cost and that's with more advertising and smaller editions (for example, typical number  6,000)
I don't think Miss Clover can maintain it



Also - Lulu Luck and Pegasue look like a set!

I have only seen them at TRU, but I've seen reports of them being found at Walmart & Target. TRU has them for $12.99, 6.99, and 2.99 as I recall.

Thank you! I love them so much. :)

I stopped by TRU 2 days ago to see if they'd re-stocked yet. Still pretty empty, no medium Zelfs at all. I was able to talk to one of the employees though and he said the Zelfs are really popular! He checked his handheld stocktaker/scanner for me to see if there were any more coming to the store soon but it wasn't showing that any were in transit. He said that could be a sign the manufacturer is having a hard time keeping up. I'm glad to hear Zelfs are doing well because I love these little guys but I want them to re-stock soon. I want to find a Miss Clover! XD

Lyra, I noticed too how well Lulu and Pega Sue match eachother! So cute! Adorable pic.
I also think Lil' D and Sunset Shimmer, Howlette and Luna, and of course Buttershy and Fluttershy are cute together and am planning on taking some pics myself soon  ^.^

I'm gonna sound like a lunatic here, but I was reading all the bios, and gushing over the art, and I decided I'd really like to be a zelf, and live in Zardenia!  I haven't felt this way in a long, long time!  Maybe 20 years ago?  I feel like a child again.  My favorite short stories growing up were BUGG books by Stephen Cosgrove.  I loved the illustrations by Charles Reasoner.  I used to imagine living among the Buggs, seeing everything with new eyes.  Everything so tiny to us, buttons, pencils, snowflakes, were so huge to them.  I get that same feeling with these little guys.  *sigh*  SO much love:)

Here in Alabama, I've only seen them at Walmart and Toys R Us.  I haven't seen them at Target yet.  They aren't even at all Walmarts here. ... Just SOME Walmarts.  There are three Walmarts in my general area, and only one is carrying Zelfs so far.  I only looked at the pricing of the mediums, but the mediums were $1 more apiece at TRU.  Walmart had them $5.99 and at TRU they were $6.99 (when they aren't on sale). 

I really want a Clover!  But if I never get one, I can live without.  I'm a collector, but not a completist-type collector.  She's cute, though!  I hope I find one in the store, but I don't think I'm going to drive myself crazy driving around town trying to find one.  LOL. 

By the way, I just checked ... the Toys R Us sale is still going on as of today (Monday, Sept. 23).  They're still $4.99 there.

I am the opposite. While I like the medium ones I could live without them all if I just can have Miss Clover. Her color scheme, her markings, just her general theme. She just would mean so much to me but I can't afford to pay the crazy eBay prices.

I agree that I don't think Miss Clover is going to hold that kind of price on ebay. I think as more are discovered and make it to ebay, her price will fall. I'm going to see how it goes with one and possible consider listing the other. I like Zelfs,but honestly that's a heck of a turn around and if someone is willing to fork out that kind of money then by all means BID lol. I'm not that attached to it

Totally agree, I mean, I wont advise people what to do with their stuff because I'd feel sooo bad if I turned out to be wrong later.
... But... *IF IT WAS ME*... I wouldn't buy for $100 because it looks like peak - better to wait for drop.

(10,000 is a big edition size!)

The LE disney dolls that people are going crazy over, (whee me too!) are limited to 6,000 and even those only increase by maybe twice their original value over time (on average, it differs a lot per character). They are released at the same time. They are a lot more popular than Zelf's.

 Miss Clover is a crazy twenty times the original value (from $4 to $100) (%2000 change that is absolutely crazy!) But she is extremely new and seeing a really gradual hard-to-find release, surely it'll just start dropping after a while. They are still so new.

I found a Miss Clover. But I'm going to sell her right away. I feel bad because I want you all to have one too, heck I want one! But like someone said if someone is willing to pay high prices for her on ebay then I need the money :/
I don't think she will last that long at that high price either but maybe I can get more than I paid. And for some reason I was charged over 10 for my small size...maybe I should have asked them to check that...

I sent off for Clover using the form at the back of the Zelfs magazine here in the UK. I sent my receipts to prove I'd spent at least £30 on the brand. It was about two, nearly three weeks ago now and I haven't seen a bean. Anyone else send off for Clover this way? How long did it take?

I'll have to wait for a good sale, because it's a little too expensive at full retail to get JUST for the Zelf.  I SO WANT THAT ZELF, though.  He looks like a little goblin.  I love that.

And my Walmart just threw their Zelfs onto the Clearance table (I doubt they actually ARE clearanced, though :rolleyes:) so I don't know what's going on over there.

I need these stores to continue to reorder if I hope to have any chance at getting Miss C!

Miss Clover seems to be dropping down in price and not to mention some retracted a bid on my auction. She seems to be in the $60-$90 currently on ebay. The highest one ended yesterday at $162. I doubt she will ever go over $100 now.

I thought people might be interested to know I e-mailed Moose Toys and asked them if there would be a second line of Zelfs, and they said yes, there will be.  They said (quote): "We release the different Zelfs in stages so as to keep the range fresh and exciting.  We have lots more planned for the range."

I hate to say this, but my My Little Pony shelf might have to make room for some Zelfs.   I've already bought 10 Zelfs for me and 10 for my daughter (when they were on sale at TRU and I had a 20% off coupon).  If they release a new line next year, I'll be flooded in Zelflings. LOL.

I would imagine if the product performs well then of coarse there will be more of them and playsets. I do like them,but space is factor right now. I admit I haven't bought a bunch of them. My husband wouldn't want me blowing a bunch of money on toys.

He he my ponies have already scooted over a bit to make room for a Zelf shelf! XD
I saw something on FB that they mentioned a second series when someone asked if there would be more large size Zelfs. I wonder how far apart the releases will be?

Are there any Zelf types you'd like to see for the next round?
I think it'd be fun to have one that is actually a cat/wildcat since the 2 now with cat style ears are actually werewolf ears and horns. I'd like to see another fire theme one besides Lil' D.


LOOOOVE THEM!!! AAAHHHHHH!!! Great photo's!! trixie and Lunanne are amazing!
By the way I like your backdrops :3
Thanks!  :biggrin: They are all backcards from pony sets.

I bought an entire set (sans Miss Clover of course) forever-ago, and FINALLY got around to de-boxing them.  I NEED Miss Clover SO MUCH!  I'm a completist, in the worst way:(  I think I'll always look at my (almost) complete collection and frown because of that missing piece.



I'm gonna sound like a lunatic here, but I was reading all the bios, and gushing over the art, and I decided I'd really like to be a zelf, and live in Zardenia!  I haven't felt this way in a long, long time!  Maybe 20 years ago?  I feel like a child again.  My favorite short stories growing up were BUGG books by Stephen Cosgrove.  I loved the illustrations by Charles Reasoner.  I used to imagine living among the Buggs, seeing everything with new eyes.  Everything so tiny to us, buttons, pencils, snowflakes, were so huge to them.  I get that same feeling with these little guys.  *sigh*  SO much love:)

I love your post, Justkitter. What kind of zelf would you be? What would your symbol be?

Awww:)  Thanks! 

I have no idea what I'd be:(  I'm so glad there are imaginative people out there creating these amazing worlds for me to get lost in.  If I was left to my own mind, everything would be a huge wall of white LOL!

I have. It reminded me a bit of a G3 pony cartoon. I wish it felt a little more magical too and a little less umm...catchphrase-y, giggly girls with random "dilemma". :lookround:

I was looking at videos on youtube yesterday and came across another commercial, not on The Zelfs page but just posted up by someone, but there was a link for a TV offer for Zelf "Starter kits". Thought I'd share
http://www.buyzelfs.com/

I also noticed on a video of someone reviewing a large Spellinda that on the back of the box it says she glows in the dark! I hadn't realized that before, so cool! I think I will still stick to the med. Zelfs though.

I just saw them today. Is it just me or are they like cute little troll pets for MH?? There is a black and pink vampire themed one for Draculuara. There is a sea themed one who has similar ears to Lagoona and we have a werewolf-like one who also likes purple for Clawdeen. There is also 2 (i think) with pink and green hair one even live in a Venus flytrap house. These are just too cute!!! I am so gonna get me some!!!!!!

Wardah, I agree. Love the sugar skull makeup idea.
I saw a promo photo, that has since been taken down, of an all white "design your own" zelf ( it came with markers and had rainbow hair - WANT ). I think Moose may be anticipating customisers too - maybe on a second wave they will release the blank white one.  I'd love to see some customs, on any of the bodies.

A blank white one?  *WANTS*   ^.^  That would be awesome!  I'd buy it.   :lol:

The only way I've thought of customizing them is that I briefly considered getting one so I could tear its hair off to figure out how I could give it custom hair.  I pretty much decided against doing it.  It would be kind of fun, though.  I'm just afraid I'd get the hair off and then won't be able to replace it with new hair, and the zelf would be ruined. 

It would be kind of fun to get the stencils off them and paint them yourself.  I'm thinking elaborate elvish-looking designs, or primitive-looking tattoo art.

I saw this on Flickr.  Someone called Liddlebutton (who could be on this forum, for all I know) posted this picture, and said the Zelf art is based on the art of a sculptor named Amber Matthies.  She said Moose Toys had contacted the artist and asked if they could base their Zelfs on her work, and she said yes.  Matthies now gets a cut of the proceeds from the Zelfs. 

Here is the Flickr picture I saw: http://www.flickr.com/photos/liddlebutton/10089558864/in/pool-2275283@N23
And here is Amber Matthies' Etsy site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Trollflings?ref=shop_sugg

You can definitely see the Zelf faces in some of her work!  I love that.  I thought everybody here would be interested.

I was trying to ignore these, but I may have to get one or two. I was completely obsessed with Treasure Trolls when I was a kid, so I guess it's not surprising I like these. I can't have another collection (no room), so I think I only want Pega Sue and that pink & black one with the bats because she reminds me of Draculaura.

ShortyBoo Be careful! It's so easy to want them all once you get started! XD I didn't think I'd have room either. I MADE room :lol: the ponies got a shelf stolen. I honestly don't know what I'll do whenever they come out with "season 2" of these. :lookround:

LOL. That's hilarious, because I just sold five of my ponies on eBay to make room for Zelfs on one of the shelves.  I'm pretty much not buying any more pony toys, anyway, with the exception of those darling minis.  (I just recently got the Cake Family mini set. It's so cute!)

Yeah, I started out by buying just one Zelf.  Just one (Garny). Then I bought a second one (Angel).  Then I saw Toys R Us had them on sale AND I also had a 20% off coupon, so I ended up getting almost the whole line of medium Zelfs.  I still haven't gotten any of the large or tiny ones yet.  I don't think I want to start buying the other sizes, just the mediums.

Sooooooooooo I have fallen in love with these things. ;__; They are so gosh darn cute!

I'm having a lot of trouble finding them! There's 4 Walmarts and 1 TRU within an hour drive of my house. I've been to TRU and found a couple, but the shelf was almost empty. (I brought Flamy home with me!) And after that I went to 2 of the 4 walmarts, but neither of them had any Zelfs that I could see. :(

Where are people finding these little guys, in Walmart? Are they in the 'girly' pink aisle of toys? Or the As Seen On Tv section? Or like, are they on an endcap in the toy aisle? And does anyone have the UPC code I can use to call the other 2 Walmarts and see if they have them?

Thanks for your help! ^.^ I wanna find more!
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: SydneyGrey on October 10, 2013, 02:10:57 AM
I have three Walmarts in my area, and only one of those carries the Zelfs, so not all Walmarts have them.  At the one Walmart where they stock Zelfs, they had them on the same aisle as the Monster High dolls.  That of course doesn't mean they'll be on the same aisle in your stores, though. 

My Toys R Us (a whole 35-minute drive from my house ... grrrr ... wish it were closer) has a huge selection of Zelfs.  They've apparently figured out they're gaining popularity, so my TRU now has given them their own island display in the walkway near the "girl" toys.  Before that, they displayed them on the same aisle with the My Little Pony stuff.

I don't have the UPC numbers, sorry.  :(
I hope this helps somebody find them more easily.

My TRU had them in the clearance isle. o.0 But there was no clearance stickers on the boxes, unlike all the toys on the surrounding shelves. I honestly have no idea how they got there. It was very weird, I thought at the time.

I wish I could help, I'm working on collecting the medium sized ones because I love the intricate paint job, but the little ones don't have enough colors to tempt me.

But I did watch a youtube review of the little ones and the person reviewing them mentioned she didn't see anything on the pot like a code, to indicate which could be inside. However she did say if you hold one in the store and look at the top, there's only a little piece of cardboard covering the opening and you can lift it up a little and see the color of the hair of the Zelf inside. I hope that helps some. :)

No Miss Clovers or the Mini Lunanne's I was looking for, I did pick up a mini Angelala (SO CUTE!!)

I looked at the packaging and there is a number embossed on the strip of cardboard that connects the top one and the one that wraps around the side. I will check next time to see if they are different numbers. I am also wondering if certain ones only come in certain colored cups? I've only bought 2 so I can't tell but if anyone has bought/buys multiple ones maybe you can tell us?

NEW ZELFS!!!!

I found these on the Toys R Us site:

Color My Zelf  $19.99 - Toys R Us exclusive

"With her special artistry power get crafty with the Spectra Arty Zelf. Add Zelf marks with the quirky deco stickers and get crafty with the marker pens."
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=24323816&cp=&parentPage=search


Zelfs Greenhouse  $29.99 - Toys R Us exclusive

"Add to your Zelf collection with these quirky lil Zelfs in da house! The Greenhouse includes 20 small Zelfs packaged in a gorgeous Greenhouse. Including 5 exclusive glow- tastic Zelfs that can't be found anywhere else as well as Glitter, Pearl and Classic finishes."
(Please note: Although the TRU description says 20 Zelfs, the picture actually says it comes with 18, not 20.)
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=21981626&cp=&parentPage=search


It sounds like the first one is the all-white Zelf someone mentioned.

Haha a little collector's display! That's cute, wish Hasbro came up with something like that for ponies.

Based on the price of the 'make your own', it's probably going to be one of the big ones, which means I probably won't get it. There's something about the faces on the big molds that turns me off. I think they make the cheeks too big and they kinda hang down too low on the face. But I think it's a cute idea!

:(

I have actually been to all FOUR wal-marts that are within an hour drive of my house (yes, I'm obsessed with Zelfs!) and sad to report that none of them had them currently on the shelf. As I was saying in the other Zelf thread in the Off-Topic section, I talked to one of the Walmart employees and she told me they moved the Zelfs to the toy clearance section. Apparently they were moving all toys that they don't plan to carry for the Christmas season to clearance early because it's just about time to stock the shelves for Christmas. So looks like that means they don't plan to stock Zelfs for the Christmas season. :( I hope this will change, or that it was only some Wal-marts that won't be stocking them!

You might have some luck if you check the Walmart clearance section, though.

Awwww, that's really cute, vortex1310! Such a good idea for this particular toyline, that focuses on the colorful design of each character to go with their personality.


In not-so-great news today, I stopped at TRU to see if there were any new Zelfs on the shelf, but there weren't. I ventured to the front of the store and asked if there were any boxes out back because I was looking for a particular character I hadn't seen on the shelf, and described her as green with a four-leaf clover on her. The lady at the customer service desk replied, "Ahh, that one everyone is asking about. Sorry, what we have on the shelf is all we have."

-_- Sigh. I should have known. I'm never going to get Clover. Obviously everyone is looking for her, probably to scalp her on ebay. I'm so discouraged. None of my Walmarts even stock them, and the one TRU in my area doesn't have many to pick from. They didn't even have the super-big Design Your Zelf, just one box of the minis, and less than a dozen mediums and about that many large.

I believe I've now replied to all PMs :D And I should add, if a trade doesn't work I am willing to pick up a Clover at cost if I can get payment up front. :) Zelfs are approx $8 after tax here, and shipping to most places looks like it'd be in the $8-12 range. I'd refund immediately if I couldn't get her. I'll be headed back to TRU tomorrow (as in, in about 12 hours from this post, lol). I totally understand if people aren't comfortable with paying up front; just putting it out there as well in case I can help someone out that way! ^.^

edit to add: Okay, if my luck holds I'm picking up 6 Clovers at lunch today for those I've spoken and arranged with via PM :) I don't want to overpromise (I know there were half a dozen, and I *think* a few more, but not sure) so that's all I'll do for now, but feel free to message me still and if there are indeed more than that I will do my best to do another round ^.^

Awwwe, that's so sweet to pick up Clovers for everyone!
I always look when I go out but I haven't seen any. She popped up and since then I haven't been able to catch any :/

Oh my goh, vortex1310, she's HUGE. Wow! I like that she seems to hold the face shape of the medium zelfs. The large ones look different to me. So cute!

Zombelina, woah you found that many! Awesome!
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.

6 Clovers obtained! :cheer: I've PM'd everyone I've arranged trades or payment with ^.^

And, there are still two more at the store! :D The shelf didn't look like it'd been touched since I was there yesterday, so I'm going to hazard a guess they'll still be there tomorrow. I can't do any more trades now, but if there are two more people who'd like me to pick her up tomorrow at cost ($8 + shipping, which should be $8-12), do PM me! They will go to whoever asks & pays first :)

Omigosh, that white Zelf is HUGE!  So that's why she was so pricey.  I love her face, though!  She does look more like the medium Zelfs than the large.  I love that!  I guess this white Zelf is an "extra-large."  LOL.

Replied to PMs, and those last two Clovers are now reserved! Now fingers crossed luck will hold for tomorrow so I can nab them ^.^

(And I will still keep my eyes peeled for more, though this is all there is for now... the distribution is apparently so weird that I imagine it could happen again! :))

Thanks for looking out for us, Zombelina.  I haven't even seen Clovers ONCE in my state.  Not once yet.

By the way, did everybody see this new post on the Zelfs Facebook?  Someone named Chloe posted a picture of all her tinies, and below it Moose Toys made a reply that says:

"OMZ! Check it out Zelfie you nearly have them all, so gorge!! Thanks for your comments we're glad you love The Zelfs as much as we do. Stay tuned for more cute and quirky Zelfs coming sooon! xozox"

That last sentence!!!!  Squeeeee!!!!  More Zelfs are on the way!!!  I wonder how "soon" is "soon"?   :P

I went to TRU yesterday and still now medium Zelfs at all!  :( I'm still hoping to find Clover on my own. They had the green house set of the little Zelfs and I was so tempted, but at $30 and that I'm trying to stick with medium size I decided not to get it. Seeing all the different finishes in person for the first time was really neat though! I might pick it up later if they go on sale.

I heard in one of their early advertisements that they plan to release a 'wave' every three months! o.0 Buuut I have no idea what a wave is. XD;; Or if that is still their plan.

Since I was curious, I did a search on DeviantArt for Zelf images! ^.^ There's only one piece of fanart that I found, and a bunch of photos of the toys (people really like putting their photography on DA!) I noticed on the Zelf Facebook page that they linked to the person's fanart! Aww, so nice! Someone here should do some fanart and see if it goes up on the Zelf facebook page as well lol. (I would buuuut I can't draw)

I'll be headed to the PO tomorrow! :)

Maybe their original plan was to do a wave every three months, but the Zelfs turned out to be way more popular than anticipated and they're having trouble keeping up with orders so they had to lengthen their plans. ^_^ We can dream!

Post Merge: October 17, 2013, 12:24:54 PM

Just checked the company website and apparently the official release date for the Zelfs was 8/26/2013. So they're not even two months old yet! ^_^ Also the company, Moose Enterprise, is apparently an Australian company. :O They sure made it to the US fast!

Hey guys!! Heads up, TRU will be doing BOGO Zelfs Medium Size! ...Of course this is after I already bought most of them. :P

Thanks to popyduggan on the Pony Corral for posting this link! The front of the flyer says the sales prices are good for Nov 3-23 (though it seems to be their Black Friday flyer so I'm a little confused about that).

Thanks for posting that.  Of course, I have nearly all of them now, too.  LOL.  I don't have Howlette and Lil'D, though, since their sculpt was my least favorite.  Maybe I'll get them, though.  I might get one to customize, too.  I'm thinking of getting an extra Angelala and stripping off all the shading and stencils off her so she is just a solid white, then painting her. 

And if I can get one cheap enough, I *might* take off the hair to see if it's possible to give it custom hair, although I might be risking ruining it by doing that, so I'm hesitant. I'm still undecided about that one.  Wouldn't it be funny to give one leopard-print fake fur hair, or something, though?  LOL.  Or better yet, fluffy mohair.

(I had to look up whether the name was "Howlette" or "Howleen" or whatever.  All these silly toy names sound alike to me after a while. LOL.)

I would LOVE to see someone's take on a custom Zelf!! I have minimal experience making custom ponies (I've only rehaired two in my whole life) so I couldn't even begin to think how one would go about replacing that troll hair... but if one person does it, maybe I can learn! ^_^

And this BOGO sale seems like the perfect opportunity to experiment!

Seasonal Zelfs would be WIN!! It would tie in to their little bio pamphlets too, it seems they always assign a certain holiday (like Halloween or whatever) as the Zelf's birthday. ^_^

Post by: Wardah on October 26, 2013, 11:40:49 PM
I've customized some Lil Zelfs so far. I switched their hair around and gave most of them nail decals for markings. Except for one which I plan to paint since it should be just like painting a cutie mark on a blind bag MLP. I imagine it would be pretty much the same thing with the regular or large ones but I haven't been able to get any yet.

O.M.Z., those customs are totally fantabulous, Wardah! (I'm talking like they do on the Zelfs facebook page XD )

If you don't mind, could you describe how you switched the hair around? I'd like to try some customizing myself! ^_^ And do you think the process could work on the medium sized ones, or just the little ones?

lemonice, they're not revealing exactly when, but they've been talking on their facebook page about new stuff coming soon, and they also just released the $20 blank white Zelf you can color yourself, and the "Greenhouse Teahouse" that is a set of a bunch of tiny ones. ^_^

Omigosh.  That makes me want to try to switch the hairs on the mediums.  I'm going to wait a week until Toys R Us has their buy one, get one free sale, and then get a few for some mad experimentation.  Mwahahahahaha!!!!!  :P  Now I'm picturing Elfa (yellow) with her paint and shading removed, with Lunanne's yellow and white hair, with images of the sun painted on her.  Then I'd have a Sun Zelf AND a Snow Zelf.  LOL.  (By the way, other people can use my ideas if they want to.  I wouldn't mind at all.)

So, for those of you here on the Arena who have opened your Clover, what number did you find inside? The Clover I opened was #1518 of 10,000! I'm excited that it's such a low number!

I wonder if everyone else also has a Clover with a low number? Maybe only the first small percentage of the Clovers has even been released to the public. At this rate, they'll be released for a long time to come!

Why haven't I posted in a Zelf thread yet? (Also, why are there 2 Zelf threads, shouldn't they be merged together?)

Anyway, today I finally caved and got myself a Howlette! She's the one I'd been wanting most from the start because purple + werewolf = awesome! I think I'll also get Flamy, Spellinda and Lil D if I can, maybe even Pega Sue too. I hope they do some good special offers over here too sometime!

Oh, I also like that they're about the same size as my Sylvanians! And they also scale quite nicely with ponies, especially G4s, as people have pointed out. I like when my toys fit nicely in scale with each other!

I posted this in the Off topic section but wanted to put it here as well:

If anyone else comes across a Clover and doesn't want her I would be willing to pay a reasonable price for her.  My daughter has decided that she really wants her.  I've told her how much she is on Ebay and that it's really too expensive for a toy but she still mentions it at least once a day.  I'd love to be able to have one for her under the Christmas tree this year.  =)

I found a Miss Clover  :biggrin: her box is really bad though it looks like someone tried to open it than stick it back together again with sellotape. I haven't opened her yet I am still deciding if I want to keep her (and start a new collection) or sell her.

It is easy to resist a collection if they stay in the box but if i open it and actually have it in my hands I will want to have more  :biggrin:

Anyway I took a peek inside (as the box was already quite open) and I saw what number she is. I have number 2018 of 10000.

If you don't want to be tempted you could always sell her on ebay lol. Even with a damaged box I think she'd go for looooooots. <3

Or if you're looking for ponies to trade, I would put a thread in the trade forum. I know there are still people here on the Arena who are really looking for one! ^_^

Hahah! Think I should add Zelf Dealer to my resume? XD I haven't seen any more Clovers since, though! All the medium Zelfs seem to be selling pretty well at both my TRU and TRU Express... every time I look, there're fewer of them. I'm glad I snagged Garny and Howlette to keep my Clover company :D

That huge Zelf is totally awesome and mildly unsettling :lol:

RainbowRay, I love your photos of Howlette!!

Just got back from TRU, omg they were paaaaacked. o.o Apparently the first day of such a big sale is a real big deal! The poor TRU workers all looked so hassled.

But yay there were a TON of medium Zelfs! ^_^ I had to hold back from buying them all, I try not to spend too much all at once lol. I picked up Elfa, Howlette, Luneanne and Buttershy.

(BTW it totally annoys me when I see people leaving comments on youtube reviews saying they ripped off Fluttershy from FiM to name Buttershy. The Zelf is named after a butterfly, and /all/ the Zelf names are puns. There's only so many puns you can make with the word butterfly. Sigh. People love to claim things are a 'rip off' of other things. :P )

Went to the Toys r Us near me for the sale this morning! They only had TWO of the medium Zelfs! :-( Thank goodness they happened to be two I didn't have yet.. Lil' D and Mermalade.  Mermalade is slightly misprinted,, but that's ok. It kind of seems like the stores around here that got Zelfs only got one shipment and haven't gotten another because the supply just keeps dwindling. I did see the greenhouse and the Color your Zelf though! OH how I want that Color your Zelf! He's HUGE!

Not to mention there is a Pokemon named Flutterby ...  :P

Argh.  I meant to go to TRU on Monday, and still haven't made it there yet.  My little girl got sick and she stayed home from school, which of course meant I couldn't be trotting off across town to shop for Zelfs.  LOL.  I'm still hoping to make it to TRU tomorrow or Thursday.

Since the big TRU flyer says the sale will go from Nov 3-23, I'm sure the stores will plan to keep restocking them throughout the month. ^^

Post by: Dragonflitter on November 19, 2013, 12:56:35 AM
I wonder if they will do a rare one with every wave.

Probably. Although there has been some quite heavy backlash on the Zelfs official Facebook page (parents complaining about crying children who are throwing tantrums because they can't have Clover, rude accusations from parents that the company is only doing it to gouge people's wallets, general outrage at the price they're going for on ebay, etc etc.).

This response may dissuade Moose Inc. from doing rare runs in the future, but I'm not sure it will. The hype over Clover definitely makes a lot of people talk about and try to collect Zelfs. The ebay prices are proof of that! So the company may decide the positive hype outweighs the negative response of angry parents trying to get a rare toy for their kids.

(I agree that if I was a kid and I couldn't have one of the characters I really wanted, I would be really upset. Even as an adult I was really sad I had no chance of getting Clover until Zombelina helped everyone out! But heck, there was a LOT of toys I wanted as a kid that I didn't get to have. That's life, kids. ;) )

So I found out today that no local stores carry Zelfs.....

In the United States they are only licensed to be sold in TRU, Walmart, and on Amazon.com. And in my local area there are none at the Walmarts. One customer service lady told me they were all moved to clearance to make way for the big sellers for the Christmas season. :( Therefore your only hope is going to be TRU or ordering them online, unfortunately.

"The Zelfs are established as a girls' favorite with the new spring theme seeing each Zelf donning a colourful mask and sparkly tiara.  New series of both medium and lil' Zelfs will also be released, while the new super rare Zelf Ruby will see fans hunt for this much sought-after character."

I'm super excited about seeing new medium Zelfs!  Tiaras and masks, though?  Bleah.  >_<  I like that Zelfs look like little goblins, and I can't imagine goblins wearing tiaras and masks.  At least it's something new, though.

By the way, on the Zelf Facebook page it has a link to a survey about Zelfs.  You might want to do the survey just so they know what Zelf fans want to see.  https://www.facebook.com/thezelfs

Whoops.  Thanks.  I'd already taken the survey, and couldn't get to the first page of the survey again. 

For that last question, I actually listed several Zelfs I'd love to see them make, instead of listing just one.  One that I mentioned was that I'd like to see a gray gargoyle-type Zelf with bat wings.  LOL.  I just thought that would look cool. I also mentioned my idea of a snowflake fairy Zelf:  white with silver snowflakes stenciled on her.

But alas, the entire Zelf shelf is empty. The customer service girl said they've been sold out for a while. Guess I shouldn't have been surprised with a great sale like BOGO!

I don't quite get why they made another rainbow-haired Zelf with a pink body and called it a genie Zelf.  She looks WAAAYY too much like Pega Sue.  They should have made the genie one ANY other color but pink. It even has the same head sculpt as Pega Sue!  They could have at least used a different head sculpt. 

Then they also brought Pega back, but in a mask.  Meh.

I love that they did a black one. 

I'm going to have to get Snap Jack and Lochlan, at the very least.

I unfortunately don't order from tao bao. Does anyone feel like putting together a group Arena order and see if we can get a bunch of Rubies? That will save us the hassle of trying to find them in stores. I would order 2 (one to keep MIB and one to debox) if someone would put together the group order. :)

Thanks for making the list w/ pics, Lyra! So exciting!
My initial favorites are Catsby & Dandy Lion.
I wonder if there will be a playset exclusive Zelf like Tressa this round too?
I don't think I'll get any of the masquerade ones but there are so many cute new characters. I love that there are new molds and they are all so unique! (Though I do agree maybe Teeny Genie could have been a different color to distinguish her from Pega Sue a little more.)
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: Lyra on December 08, 2013, 07:27:21 AM
No prob :)

Just realised Dorothy-doe has little white antlers that are hard to see against her ears - AWWWWW!!!! 0__0

The plastic tails are great improvement, I did not like the 'fluff' tails last time very much :/

Yeah I agree the masquerade are a bit boring by comparison (re-releases with variation, design a bit too 'fussy') And Teeny Genie is is just Pega sue II (c'mon), but I wont be toooo critical because I'm sooo happy with the new characters and think the company is taking zelfs in a great direction...this is a really fantastic set of releases

I might be interested in a group order for Ruby but couldn't arrange it myself and it would depend on costs and stuffs but I would be interested in the possibility

I love them!! I think I need several of these! Mostly Kitsu, Catsby, Birchy, maybe Dorothy-Doe, and Lochlan. Kitsu is definitely my favourite this time!
Jewely also looks looovely but I will pass on her, I'd rather not have to hunt for a rare/expensive one and there's plenty of great normal ones for me!
Also, I totally knew they'd make a spider zelf.

I envy you UK people, you get a guaranteed exclusive if you buy enough merchandise and keep the receipts! In North American you have to just hunt and pray, or give in and pay 3x as much on ebay. (Or have friends here on the Arena who will trade for it! :D )

Hrrm. Okay so.... I've been looking into this tao bao thing. I've never ordered from them before, but I've been trying to figure it out.

It looks like the seller with Jewely (aka Ruby) is selling them for ¥69.00 each which is $11.36 USD. Then we have to add in the shipping to the third-party person who will buy it for us, because that's how tao bao works. Then shipping from the third party person to us. (Or rather, I guess the group order would come to me, and then each of you would pay me shipping to your place.)

So if the group order was large enough... I'm thinking probably Jewely would be $15, and then each of us would add in however much it would take to ship her to your house from my place?

I would also be more than happy to include in the order any of the regular ones from the new wave if someone wanted to order them now before they hit the stores. The bigger the order we place, the more we save on shipping since we're all splitting the fee. :)

(Although I'm not sure how many of each Zelf the tao bao seller has, so that would be one thing to figure out before ordering. x_X It won't do us any good if they only have 1 Jewely. )

Okay guys so I started to go ahead and put together a taobao order, I made an account and translated the page and... I don't think it's going to work as a group order. :( When I translated the page the seller lists 19 items for sale, and there's 19 pictures of the new wave Zelfs, so I think the seller just has 1 of each Zelf for sale. I don't think we can do a group order for a ton of Rubys. Sorry to get hopes up.

Looks like the frog zelf's name is Ribbita! She comes with a new playset called the Toadstool Twirl-n-Swing. I found her under the listing with the Tressa playset.

OMG! I MUST HAVE DEMS! I would love to have Jewely... but I'm not paying a ton. If people do a mass Taobao order and she isn't hugely expansive, maybe.

I want the cat so bad! When they did a Design-your-Zelf contest on the Zelfs Facebook.. that's kind of what I came up with. :-)

Hey guys :) I have a friend who is back at her home in China, and she is all for helping us if the items are able to arrive on time :)

Anyone has the taobao link?

Another way is for me to do it through Singapore myself, but that may lead to a slightly higher cost, but quicker updates etc! :)

Finally got myself a second one today, Flamy! And when I opened her up the first thing I noticed is that she has a really squishy head compared to Howlette's, which is harder. I wonder why that is? Are most heads squishy or hard? I can't really tell, only having two.

Anyway, I found it was quite easy to pop her head off...

Yes I'm guessing the squishy head might be a factory error. I've been trying to get the head off my extra Garney to customize and I can't get the dang thing off without damaging the Zelf. o.0

Heh, it's strange that a combination of two very cute toys can look so creepy huh? I think that pony head on a zelf body might look quite cute though. I didn't actually try it, since it looked like it would be a lot harder to pop on and off.

Now that I think about it, Flamy's body actually seems a little softer than Howlette's too. Do I just have an exceptionally squishy Flamy?

Dragonflitter, if you do manage to customise your Garny, will you be changing the hair? If so post pics please! I'd quite like to see what they look like under the hair.

Where are these at Walmart? I found one the other day sitting in the middle of the Barbie aisle that someone put down, but I tried to look for its spot, but I couldn't find any more. What toys are they usually near? I'm guessing they're in the girls' section, but I've never seen them when checking for MLP, MH or EAH.

Now that I think of it, I don't believe I've seen them at Target yet, either.

I have never seen them at Target. My local Walmart is weird with them too. They will carry them sometimes, but the employees never know what or where they are. Every now and then, I will find one hanging out in a random toy aisle alone and a few times, I found them in groups haphazardly placed in the clearance aisle, but they are never marked down.

Weird. Everytime I go to TRU (which is maybe once every few months when I visit relatives) they seem to have a big section of them, so I thought Walmart would have a bunch, too. The one I found there wasn't one of the ones I wanted, so I left it there.

Not all Walmarts carry them, and the Targets in the United States don't carry them at all (at least not yet).  Of the 3 Walmarts in my area, only one carries Zelfs.  They are in the same aisle as the Monster High dolls in that store. The Toys R Us in my town has a huge display of Zelfs!  They must be selling fairly well. 
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: Dragonflitter on January 11, 2014, 03:06:57 AM
In the United States, Walmart and TRU and Amazon.com are the only ones licensed to carry Zelfs for right now. You might occasionally see them in other small stores but I assume those stores order them off Amazon.com. (For example I see a couple in the toys section of my local bookstore, Books-A-Million.)

TRU has their own section for them, and when I talk to employees they know what they are (in fact my local TRU employees know all about how Clover is the rare one because they talk to me about how people always come in to look for that one lol). I have 5 Walmart stores within a couple hour drive of my house, and of those 5 only 1 carried Zelfs that I ever saw. And like other people here mentioned, they usually are found in some random place rather than having their own 'spot' on any shelf.

Anyway I came to post pictures!! I worked up the nerve and did my very first taobao.com order to get some Zelfs from China, and here they are!! ^___^ (Sorry my phone camera is so sucky.)

First here's Tressa! I was very excited to buy her for cheap and not have to buy the whole playset (although the playsets for Zelfs are ADORABLE, I just don't have the room in my house to display them). Her hair came like that out of the package from China so I kept it. XD It's very great hairstyle!

Next up here's Ribbita, the series 2 playset Zelf! I think it would have been more cute and a little more frog-like if they hadn't included a nose on the head sculpt, but that's okay, she's still quite cute. And this way I saved myself another $20+ on the playset.

And here's her back. My favorite thing about Zelfs is looking for additional cute little paint jobs all over their bodies, and it looks like the series 2 Zelfs won't disappoint! Ribbita has some spots on her shoulders, with the middle one shaped like a heart, and on her butt she has a dark green spot shaped like a croaking frog. (Sorry the picture didn't come out too well.)

And last but not least, the Chinese seller had a bunch of Frankenstein Zelfs that had different wings than they were supposed to, or had wings missing. (I remember there was a Vampula with Buttershy's pink wings, a Lunanne with no wings, and Pegasu with pink Buttershy wings.) I saw the seller also had a Clover with no shamrock wings and since I felt bad for the little girl, I bought her!

And here you can see the wings attach to the back of the toy with just one little prong that sticks into the Zelf's back (and is glued in, I assume)

I don't know what I'm going to do with Wingless Clover just yet. I already have two of my own, thanks to a trade with Zombelina here. ^_^

Post by: SydneyGrey on January 11, 2014, 03:45:51 AM
I actually prefer Clover without the wings.  She's great.   :)

That little frog Zelf is so weird and unusual (in a wonderful way) that I might have to get her.  I haven't seen any of the 2014 Zelfs yet in my area, but I'll be keeping my eye out for them over the next few months.  I can't wait to see them in person!   :cool:

Well, I guess since I found one at my Walmart, it means they carry them. I'll have to check again once they reset, though because the toy section is still pretty wiped out from Christmas.

Is there a site with photos of all the different Zelfs available, sort of like Strawberry Reef, only with Zelfs? I know I can't buy too many because I have a lot of collections so I'd like to know which few I'd like before impulse buying any.

I could donate pictures.  I have a really great camera for taking pictures of tiny things up close.  I'd be glad to do it.  I actually have the entire first run of Zelfs, but most of them are missing their necklaces.  They are all unpackaged, though, so I can't take pictures of packaging.  I have the venus fly trap set with Tressa as well, but I'm missing the small accessories that came with it. 

I take good photos, though.  I'll post one of my pics below so you can see what my pics are like.  If you decide to create a Zelf database, just let me know and I'll help out as much as I can.

Omigosh, me too!  I can't imagine why Hasbro thinks we want to buy the same characters over and over and over.  I don't even LOOK at the FiM brushable ponies in the stores any more.  I still adore the tiny pony sets, though.  (Just bought two more sets, in fact.)

Here is one of my pictures from my Flickr.  For a Zelf database, though, I'm sure people would want a full-body shot.  I'll have to take a bunch of full-body shots of my Zelflings this week.   :biggrin:

That would be awesome, SydneyGrey! ^_^ I would love if it you could do a full body front shot and back shot since there's lots of pretty paint on the back of the Zelfs too!

I'm looking for a good site to host the Zelfs Database, if anyone has any suggestions for a free one with limited or no banner ads, that would be much appreciated :)

They sound real customer-friendly! The Zelfs are growing on me more and more... I hope they'll be around for a long while. Like someone else in here said, they showcase the diversity and creativity MLP G4 lacks and I secretly hope more and more people will switch from G4 to Zelfs just to spite Hasbro :lol:

Alright, I'll give you a hint, but won't tell you!

Read the newest pamphlet and read some of the places the Zelfs live. Now pretend you were 7 again and just started reading. Can you see their mistake?

Wow there's quit a few spelling mistakes/errors in this new leaflet.

They first started off with a play on words of "tree" and "tipi/teepee" and literally made te word "Tree Pee" which then upset my Neice so I sent them in an idea to combine both spellings of "teepee/tipi" and "tree" and call them "Treepi's", it just sounds cuter anyways!

But now I'm seeing they misspelled "playground"..tsk tsk.

Hey, Moosetoys, ya need a proof reader!!? Will work for Zelfs!

I think I've decided that I might not get all the Zelfs from wave 2.
Catsby & Birchy are probably definites and I like Snap Jack, Dorothy Doe and Flitter pretty well. The others I don't know how well I'm feeling now. Especially Webina. The spider on her back creeps me out. I may change my mind once I start seeing them in stores though.
I really hope I can either find a Jewely or trade my 2nd Clover for her. I haven't seen any out of package pics of her yet but she seems really cool.

I've been checking my local TRU once a week but the Zelfs shelf has not bee restocked in a few weeks. The large-size Zelfs and the giant color-your-own are lingering, and occasionally I see the box of small flower pots, but that's about it. The medium ones are almost never there. I'm hoping this means Series 2 is on its way to the stores!

The new wave of Zelfs have just hit the shelves in the UK near me, I managed to pick up Mermalade Masquerade, Lochlan and Snap Jack. No sign of the ultra rare ruby zelf as of yet hopefully I will be able to get one on my next shopping trip.

Post by: Freeindeed on January 25, 2014, 05:21:28 AM
I was so upset to discover that the little Toys R Us at our local mall recently shut down! It was the only place I ever found Zelfs, because the Wal-marts around here don't stock them. Now how am I going to get my hands on these cuties? I suppose there's always online, but that's not nearly as fun. I was especially looking forward to getting the ladybug one, and the spider. I don't usually get too excited about newer toys but there's something about these that I just love! They are really nice and high quality, considering the price.

Anyway, what brings me here is I am searching for a Miss Clover Zelf if any of you gals can help me out. (Yeah, me and everyone else, right? :) ) However, I am willing to trade VERY well for her. I sell ponies (mostly G1) and other toys regularly so I have a lot I can offer for her. You can browse through my eBay store (link is in my siggy) and see if there's anything you'd like, and I also almost always have a backlog of inventory not yet listed. As of this posting I definitely have another box of G1's, plus another couple boxfuls of other toys that I have not listed yet. I'd be happy to send you a list of what else I have.

PM me if you can help.

Post by: Dragonflitter on January 25, 2014, 09:54:28 AM
Sorry to hear that, Freeindeed! :( We only have one TRU in my entire state so this is the only option I have to get Zelfs as well. I know you can order them off Amazon, but I prefer buying them in person as well. Some of them have a bit of smudge to their paint jobs so I want to look them over in person before I buy one.

I have a Clover with no wings available for trade, but I dunno if you would be interested in a damaged one, Free.

Post by: Freeindeed on January 25, 2014, 10:28:04 AM
Well, thankfully there is another TRU in the city my mom lives in... but that's still an hour's drive from here! Next time my husband and I go there for a visit I guess I'll have to stop at the TRU there for my Zelf fix. My mom says she's also looked for Zelfs in the local Wal-Marts around there and nothing... does anyone actually have Zelfs at their Wal-Mart?

How did you get a Clover with no wings? I'd love to see a pic! You can PM me it if you don't want to clog up the thread. :)
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: Dragonflitter on January 25, 2014, 11:05:55 AM
Glad to hear you have another TRU available! :D They have annoyed me lately (refused to take my coupon because I didn't have a 'pin number' for it grrr now I have to go call customer service to find a pin number...). But I will forgive them. They're still one of the best places to go for kids toys, and the employees are always nice. ^^

I have four Walmarts without an hour drive of my house and all four of them I've never seen Zelfs at any of them. :( At the second Walmart I did ask an employee if they knew about them and the employee remembered seeing them but they were all moved to the Clearance section (this was right before Christmas and the employee told me they were moving all toys to Clearance that weren't part of the Christmas shopping rush). And when I went to go look, I couldn't find them.

Coincidentally, when I visit MY mom there's a Walmart near her that does have Zelfs once in a while lol. They never seem to have a spot just for them on the shelf, I always just see them crammed in around other girl toys or just shoved into any empty spot on the shelf. o.0

About Clover: I did a taobao.com order and bought some Zelfs from a seller who had some 'franken' Zelfs for sale (I assume pieces picked up from a Chinese factory?), including some Zelfs with the wrong wings stuck on and some missing their wings altogether. Here's a pic (the rest of my pics from my order are on Page 26 of this thread :) )

How interesting that she turned up like that on Taobao! I actually think she's kind of cute without the wings... I wonder if it would be possible to make some kind of wing replacements for her.

I still haven't found any of the medium sized Zelfs I want in stores, but today when I was at Target, I saw they had a box of the blind packed small ones in the little pink, purple & green pots. They were with the trading cards. I grabbed two, but now I want more. I got the pearly version of Lunanne (I'm super happy with her) and the pearly version of Lil' D. That one I don't really like as much. I'm more into pastel colors, so the bright red and orange don't really appeal to me. Anyone want to trade?

I wasn't sure I liked the small ones, but these sure are cute. Plus, they remind me of the collection of treasure trolls I had as a kid. Quick question about the blind packed figures: are any more rare than any other? With there being 12 characters and 3 variations of each, I don't see how there could be one of each in the box they were in.

I saw some of the new ones today at TRU! They had a few of the masquerade ones and three of the new characters-- the fox, the Jack Frost one, and the one with the dragonfly. But they were the $7 price which is too much for me. I liked the $5 each I paid for the first set much better. So I didn't get any of them :( I also noticed that Target had the little flowerpot mini ones...hopefully that means that other stores will start carrying Zelfs soon?

Post by: ShortyBoo on January 27, 2014, 02:51:19 PM
Well, I just bought my first three medium Zelfs. I bought Pega Sue MIB off eBay for $11, which I kind of regret paying that much, but since I can't find them in stores locally, eBay was my only option. I also got Vampula and Mermalade loose for $5 each. The only bad part is they don't come with their little charms and I didn't see any being sold loose on eBay, so I don't know if I'll be able to find them eventually or not. I'm still thinking about getting Garny and Buttershy. At least with these I don't feel the need to collect them all.

So, one of the benefits of being a bit ill and awake on my tablet at 3:00 AM seems to be that when I checked the Toys R Us website for the new wave of zelfs (as I have compulsively for a while now), they had Miss Clover listed! What! I thought maybe it was going to be one of their "in stores only"  listings, but no. It let me order her...so we will see.  Don't rush over to the website though. I checked when I woke up and it is now an "in stores only" listing. Assuming she shows up, I'll have a second Miss Clover either for my niece or for trade. Crazy day.

Hey UK folks, she is going to be available from the magazine offer like Clover was, right? Which magazine is this, and where can I find it?
I'm keeping an eye out, but so far I haven't seen a new magazine offer. I hope they will though, because there just aren't many shops around here full stop, let alone shops that sell Zelfs :(

But on the bright side, I (well, my mother) did manage to find the S2 medium Zelfs. We picked up a Birchy, who is now quite possibly my favorite :)

Got my Zelf in the mail today from Moose Toys! Though they said they'd send Owlmanda we got a Teenie Genie instead. Grr, can't complain over free stuff but Genie looks just like PegaSue :x

Checking in.   ;)

What did I miss?  I've been sick for an entire week.  First my kid was sick, then I got sick.  Ugh.  Anyway, has anyone seen the 2014s in the United States yet?  I haven't been able to check my Toys R Us this week.

I've been curious about the rare Zelfs (Clover and Jewelry) mostly, like just how rare they are. I don't understand how a figure that's not blind packaged can be rare. Are they just short packed in the case? Or is this just a case of them being labeled as rare so people are snatching them all up to resell on eBay, thus making them appear to be more rare than they are?

They're basically like the chase Skylander figures in every possible way. There's one packed in every amount of cases (I think Skylander fans worked out about 1 in 120 cases would have a chase figure). For Miss Clover, I'd be willing to say a bit more, but since I've never personally seen one in the UK outside the promo offer, I'm not certain if maybe UKers received 'less' Clovers or if they just really are that rare.
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: disturbed-rainbow on February 01, 2014, 03:29:32 PM
Well I think the rarity comes from them only making a certain amount, like there were only 10,000 clovers made.  Thus making them a rare find.

Hi Zelfies!  I haven't posted on MLP Arena in ages, but all my Google searches on Zelfs keep leading me here, and I wanted to share some photos of Zelfs Series 3 I found today! These photos were taken at London Toy Fair 2014, and were posted on the Twitter page of Character Online: https://twitter.com/characteronline

So from what I can see from these pictures, there will be a series of scented Zelfs called Zelicious (I can see one listed as Chocolate in the background). There will also be new animal Zelfs - definitely a Panda and Moose (I can see the word Moose in the background), and also what looks like a Wolf? Looks like some new playsets too, and at least one Zelf with furry feet!

I am SO excited!!  :D

Post by: RainbowRay on February 01, 2014, 05:09:31 PM
More animal Zelfs? Including a wolf? Oh yessss! (Although it's a bit funny that there's a werewolf and a wolf now.)

In picture one, I think I see the furry-footed Zelf you're talking about - the pinkish purple one at the front, right? Is it me, or does it have tufts of fur on its ear tips as well?
Seems to be a large sized one, I wonder if extra-hairy Zelfs will be limited to that size. I bet it'd be hard to add all the extra fur details to the smaller ones.

Looks like a bubblegum scented one in the second pic. Could the white one below it possibly be a mint one?

What is the brown one in the third pic? Is that the wolf one, or some other dog? Whatever it is it's ADORABLE and I need one.

Dangit Zelfs, stop being so great, I can't afford all of you!

I was thinking that pink one in the second pic might be bubblegum, too! I'd love to see a mint one!
 
The pink/purple Super Zelf in the first pic, I do notice the furry tufts on the feet, and maybe the ears too. Maybe it's a lop bunny? That would be so cute!

The brown one is the wolf (?) Zelf? Maybe a dog or coyote, though. Whatever it is, it's cute! One thing I love about Zelfs is that they have both natural and unnatural colors available, and draw a lot of themes from nature.

I think there are also some new (Series 3?) Zelfs in the photo below, which was posted on the Zelfs Facebook page in December:

Ohgoshohgoshohgosh how exciting!! I hope we see some more pics from the NY toy fair in a couple weeks!!

 The Zelfs briefly had a link to a Zardenia poster up on their Facebook page, that had a few names listed that may be series 3 characters. The ones I saw listed were Petal, Lullaby, Cupie (cupid zelf?), Billy (possibly a duck zelf) and Sealia (seahorse or seal zelf?). They took it down though. :(

Right now the ones I'm looking for are Mermalade (pearl), Flamy (pearl), Buttershy (pearl & glitter), Angelala (pearl), Vampula (all three) and Pega Sue (all three).

The ones I have for trade are: Lil' D (pearl), Elfa (standard), Lunanne (standard), Buttershy (standard) and possibly the pearl version of Spellinda, I just haven't decided if I want to keep her yet or not.

Eeeee I need all of these, stat! I wonder if the brown one is supposed to be a monkey? (Not that it looks particularly like a monkey, but that deer zelf from wave 2 doesn't look much like a deer either...) I'm psyched that they're doing well enough for a wave 3. It's so nice to see that at least one brand of colorful little plastic toys has originality and new characters. Sorry MLP, but you need to step up your game :P

I found this while googling! It's a press release for the zelfs for the toy fair. It tells about the new lines, and apparently one of the new rares for the animal line will be a white tiger! It seems there's also going to be a magazine.

You can find it here and I captured the page as well :)

My excitement for all the new cute is only being kept in check by my anxiety over the impending lack of display space, and the skeletal state of my bank account.  Why must I buy them all?! Because they are impossible to resist.  Also, an update on the miss clover TRU order I mentioned a few pages ago...canceled by TRU (not surprised though).

I got my medium Vampula I bought off eBay and I'm kind of disappointed. Instead of her pink bat wings, she has pink butterfly wings which I believe belong to Buttershy and they were glued in upside down, making it so she couldn't sit or stand on her own without toppling over. I was able to pull the wings out and turn them the correct way, but I still wish she had her own wings. She also has a really loose neck. I couldn't really complain to the seller because now that I went back to look at the photos from the listing, I noticed she is shown with the upside down butterfly wings. I guess that's what I get for not wanting to pay $15+ for each Zelf. Now I'm worried about the Mermalade Zelf I bought from the same seller. Of course, that one is still stuck in China, apparently. I bought Mermalade just a day later than Vampula, but where she arrived within just a few days, Mermalade just has the "Accepted" scan from the 28th and nothing after that.

I might just order a few if I don't find them when I go to TRU later this week. How bad are TRU's shipping costs? I know some sites like to way overcharge for shipping. That's why I haven't bought anything directly from Hasbro in a long time. I thought they charged too much.

I don't know why, but I don't really care for the animal type Zelfs. I guess that's good for me, though, because that, combined with the fact that I don't intend to get more than one of the same character (meaning I don't plan on getting the masquerade themed ones) will keep my overall collection size down. I'm also not going for one of every character like with my MLP collection. I'm only getting the ones I like.

I'm not too crazy about the animal Zelfs, either. They just aren't my style.  I like the Zelfs best when they look like little Brian Froud-style goblins.  I'm not planning on getting very many of the Series 2 Zelfs, just a few of them.  I do like that ladybug, though.  :P

And I suppose if anyone has extras they just want to sell they could post there as well. Would a thread like that go in the Trade section, or in Dollhouse?

Moose Enterprise jumped right in when MLP fans started to moan. It's like they answered a collective prayer for more variety. I really appreciate how soon they started doing new molds and characters.
Now they only have to appear here in Germany. I hope they make it over quickly. If anyone would be so kind to go Zelf shopping for me... my friend and I have set our sights on five medium ones :blush:

Sorry for double posting, but I just wanted to share! I indulged in some retail therapy last week and ordered some Series 2 Zelfs from Character-Online in the UK. They arrived today (so fast)! I got medium Snap Jack, Birchy, Kitsu and Flitter, and 4 of the Series 2 Lil' Zelf flowerpots. Since I hadn't seen anyone else post the Series 2 minis here, I thought I'd share my observations!

(Please excuse the horrendous cellphone photos!)

New packaging! All four pots I received had pink bottoms and blue tops. I'm unsure if there are different colors of flowerpots available, as in Series 1.  And notice that the clear plastic is sealed all the way around, unlike in Series 1, where it was slightly open on the top (allowing us to sneak a peek inside)!

Clear plastic has been removed, and...what's that white thing at the top of the pot? Looks like Moose Toys has definitely caught on to our cheating ways, and is now taking deliberate action to prevent us from peeking inside before buying!

This is the small circle of white cardboard which blocks the view of the contents until the pot is opened. (Please excuse my hand in the photo!)

And these are the new Lil' Zelfs I received! I can't believe that I only ordered four, yet two of them ended up being the same--and it's my LEAST favorite Zelf character, to boot!   >_< (I am just not a fan of spiders!)  At any rate, aren't the new poses and details on the Lil' Zelfs fantastic?

This is the new checklist. You can see all the different poses here!


So yeah...I guess I have a Webina pearl Lil' Zelf for trade, if anyone wants her!  :P  I'm really happy with my new Zelfs overall, however!

Also--I was trying to take note of the embossed numerals on the cardboard band that surrounds the flowerpot, in case there was some sort of code indicating which Zelf is inside. I am sad to report that all four of mine had the exact same embossed numbers, and clearly I got three different figures, so I guess there's really no way of telling now which Zelf is inside until you buy!

Excited for the new molds but disappointed they went with the same finishes again. I really was hoping for some glow ones outside of a huge pack.

Lucky! I wish I could find ANY Zelfs at Walmart, let alone Clearance priced Zelfs! Hopefully I won't come away empty handed when I go to TRU tomorrow. The last two times I was there, they had a ton of Zelfs (this was before I was collecting them) so I'm hoping they'll still have some.

So, does anyone else have any input on making a Zelfs trading thread? I'm thinking of making a thread similar to the MLP trading card thread, where we can all post which Zelfs we have available and which ones we need. I thought it would make things easier than if we only post in our own trades or sales threads. The only question I had about doing it, is would it go in the Dollhouse section, or the Trade section?
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: DaintyDalek on February 06, 2014, 08:20:25 AM
I think a separate trading thread would be a really good idea, since it looks like series 2 is going to be harder to complete without trading since we can't peek at the hair anymore.

How do you peek at the hair from the first set? I tried while I was in Target, but I couldn't see anything. I even tore the plastic wrap at the top a bit, but without tearing the cardboard, I couldn't see the hair.

EDIT: I started a Zelf trading thread here: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,348979.0.html

I will be sad if the Zelfs on clearance price means Walmart doesn't plan to stock them anymore. :( Not that the ones in my area did to begin with. :P
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: ShortyBoo on February 06, 2014, 11:55:09 AM
Apparently my local Walmart had them at least once. Shortly before Christmas, I found a medium Spellinda all alone. I never saw another Zelf there after that. Of course, they also haven't restocked any of the Monster High or Ever After High that was wiped out before Christmas, so I'm guessing it's just a case of them waiting to reset before restocking. I hope Walmart will keep selling them. That's why I waited so long to start collecting. I don't have a close TRU (the one I go to is 2 hours away) so I was counting on Walmart to get them. When they didn't, I ended up buying a few off eBay. I can't imagine they're clearancing them because they're not popular because if they weren't, I don't think they'd be so expensive on eBay. Hopefully they'll be more widely available soon.

Maybe they're just clearing out to make space for the new ones?

I haven't been able to find many here at all lately, only shop that seems to have them right now is Toys R Us and it's only a tiny section which is usually empty.
But today I had some luck and found Lil' D and Mermalade in a charity shop, and still in their boxes too! Apparently they'd been put out on display only half an hour before I got there, so that was well timed. So now I have all the series 1 Zelfs that I really wanted. Yay!

I replaced Lil' D's tail with a more devilish looking tail made from a pipe cleaner. He then joined Flamy and Howlette in trying to get Butter the cat to share the cookies, to great success.

I think they are trying to clear out the Season 1 Zelfs to make way for Season 2.
TRU has an online promotion going right now that if you spend $30 on any dolls, playsets or accessories you get a free medium Zelf.

I went back yesterday and bought Elfa because I don't want to miss out on and of the season 1 because I agree I think theyre making way for the new stuff. Although both my TRUs have been sold out of zelfs forever, they're super popular.
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: ShortyBoo on February 06, 2014, 01:24:23 PM
I don't like that they're moving on to the second series of them so quickly when the first one was so hard to find. Since not everyone has a TRU nearby and not all Walmarts carried them, it made them really hard to get. Add to that, the popularity of them and the eBay scalpers and it just makes things worse.

I don't know if this has been posted but I was just having a good look around on ebay and there is a Jewely Zelf for sale on there from a seller in the USA so she must be hitting the stores. I hope I can find one before they get snapped up and put on ebay for silly money.

Post by: Dragonflitter on February 07, 2014, 07:25:40 AM
I think the problem right now is that Moose, which is a good sized company but nowhere near the size of Mattel and Hasbro, is suddenly finding their toys are really taking off and they're not used to so much sudden success. They were not planning on stores selling out so quick and the demand being so high, so that's they they moved on to Series 2 (and even revealing Series 3) while people are still clamoring for Series 1.

Ribbita is so cute and the swing is surprisingly entertaining.  :lol:
They had a few of the masquerade Zelfs (which I don't plan on buying) but none of the new characters.
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: Dragonflitter on February 07, 2014, 05:47:02 PM
Well I stopped by TRU today and it looks like they are shuffling their Zelf display around. Previously they got half an aisle display to themselves, and the other half was Furbeys. Then the Furbeys were moved over to another aisle display and Zelfs got an entire display to themselves. Now one of the sides is devoted to some other merchandise, which I think is also from Moose (those disgusting dog things lol).

I found exactly 6 medium sized Zelfs on the shelf... and much to my surprise they are the 6 Masquerade characters! No evidence of any new character... which leads me to believe one of two things:

1.) The Masquerade characters are a different shipment than the new characters or...

2.) Someone came in before me and bought all the new characters and left behind the 6 repeat characters. :P

Well jokes on them, I think the Masquerade characters are adorable with their painted faces and tiaras, and I bought them right up! :P

But the back of the package only advertises the 6 Masquerade charas, and the collector's leaflet inside is the same, so I think they might be a different shipment entirely than the new characters. There's no evidence of new characters anywhere on the packaging of the Masquerade Zelfs (not even Jewley the rare Ruby Zelf).


PS: According to the Masquerade leaflet, Flamy is a guy. I am fairly sure I remember the original leaflet stating him as a 'she', so I guess they wanted to change it up so there's more guys in the line. I think in the original line they were all female except Lil' D, lol.

 Hahah, I was wondering about that too! Flamy seems to jump back and forth between female and male, depending. I think she's a girl, though; she has eyelashes in the webtoons and Lil' D doesn't.

I got to go to TRU yesterday on the way to pick up my niece for the weekend. All they had of series 1 was 2 Glarny a large Vampula and a large Mermalade. They also had both playsets and the Green House set. They had a full set of the series 2 masquerade Zelfs. Well, except Pega Sue. They had a box of the Lil' Zelfs and two of them were opened. One was one of the ones I was looking for (glitter Vampula), so I bought it anyway and I grabbed another at random, which turned out to be another one I wanted, Pearl Angelala. I also got series 1 Garny and masquerade Mermalade. I wasn't going to get any of the masquerade ones, but Mermalade was really cute and I couldn't pass her up. I really wanted to get the Green House, but I couldn't bring myself to pay $30 when I only really wanted about half of them.

There's no evidence of new characters anywhere on the packaging of the Masquerade Zelfs (not even Jewley the rare Ruby Zelf).

I thought the funniest thing about the Masquerade packaging is how they suggest a hairstyle on the back which utilizes the Zelf hair bands, but the Masquerade Zelfs don't even come with hair bands!  Maybe they want you to use those clear bands that hold the Zelfs in the packaging? :P  The same hairstyle instructions are on the back of the packaging for the Series 2 Zelfs as well, so I suppose it's just standard, but it still gave me a giggle.


PS: According to the Masquerade leaflet, Flamy is a guy. I am fairly sure I remember the original leaflet stating him as a 'she', so I guess they wanted to change it up so there's more guys in the line. I think in the original line they were all female except Lil' D, lol.

Probably just a typo!  What's even funnier is that I got Super Zelf Lochlan yesterday, and Lochlan is referred to as a "He" AND a "She" on the package!

So...which is it?  I suppose it's unimportant, since Lochlan is adorable regardless of gender, but I may just email Moose to find out! 


not sure if you guys ever watchted the Disney cartoon the wuzzles but dandy lion remeinds me of the wuzzle named butterbear

I thought the exact same thing!  Dandy Lion also reminds me a bit of King Moonracer from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

 A sphynx zelf
 Alice in Wonderland themed zelfs (queen of hearts, cheshire cat, jabberwocky, etc)
 Dinosaurs!
 80s themed!
 baby zelfs
 a centaur zelf (something like the old Shimmers dolls would be so cool!)
 zodiac themed
 super long-hairs or curly haired zelfs
 flocked zelfs

 there's just so many different things they could do with these guys.

I went to Toys R Us's website today to buy some stuff and it mentions you get a free random Zelf with a purchase of $30 or more of dolls- MLPs count, as do other Zelfs.

See I'm into Irish stuff too but that's the reason Miss Clover kinda bugs me. It's supposed to be three leaf clover, the shamrock, that is a symbol of Ireland and all things Irish. The four leaf clover actually has no connection at all to Ireland. I plan on eventually making a three leaf clover custom Zelf.

Post Merge: February 15, 2014, 07:30:44 AM

Finally decided to pick up one of these cute little guys. When they first came out, I swear I saw the clover one at my local TRU. Then months passed and I kept reading that she was rare. So I went in today and thought to myself: pshh, just how rare is rare? And I found her :) Love anything clover/Irish, so Miss Clover will join the collection!

Aww, lucky! ;) Congrats!

See I'm into Irish stuff too but that's the reason Miss Clover kinda bugs me. It's supposed to be three leaf clover, the shamrock, that is a symbol of Ireland and all things Irish. The four leaf clover actually has no connection at all to Ireland. I plan on eventually making a three leaf clover custom Zelf.

4 leaf clovers have a history in Ireland but it was preChristian. Back in the day pagans and celts in ireland would look for them for good luck and protection. The species of clover ithat produces 4 leaves, Trifolium repens, is native to Ireland and each leaf stands for Love, Hope, Faith, and Luck. Later on 3-leaf  shamrock (3 species of clover and a species of medick) became the symbol of ireland when christianity was starting to develope and each leaf represented the Trinity or, Son, Father, and Holy Spirit. 3 leaf clovers are the ones appropriate for St. Pattys Day though, not 4 leaf clovers although I see tons of 4 leaf clover merchandise for the holiday.

So um.. do you guys remember the Jewely on Taobao awhile back? Guess what my husband gifted me with. :)

 Check out that gradient on the wings! They're also plastic, not that paper thin filmy stuff that Hasbro was using on the LPS fairies, which I really like.

 She comes with a really pretty heart charm. I was hoping to see what number was on the "Congrats! You found an ultra rare zelf!" card to see if she's limited to 10,000 like Clover or a different number, but mine was unmarked. So, still no idea on that.

Wow, I wasn't expecting to like Jewelry, but she's so pretty! Now I'm going to be real sad when I can't find her. I absolutely refuse to pay more than $20 for her, so that pretty much rules out eBay.

Oh my gosh, DaintyDalek! That's wonderful! She's beautiful! Hm, maybe they are not numbered this time? Maybe that means there will be more made than Miss Clover?

LuckyLeaf, Moose is on the exhibitor list and they've got Zelfs listed in their exhibitor profile. I really hope someone shows the Zelf section.  XD

I haven't seen Jewely on Taobao for awhile now. I keep checking to see if she'll pop up again, but she was the only one in stock when my husband ordered. :/

 I've heard people are finding series 2 in the US but so far the only ones I've seen in stores here (Bay Area CA) are the masquerade ones.

 Jewely is definitely going to be numbered; the card had "# ____ of ____" on it, but there were no numbers stamped on mine so I have no clue how many they'll be making of her.

 The glow-in-the-dark ones are large Vampula, large Spellinda, large Lochlan, large Catsby (I think?) and 5 of the minis that come with the Greenhouse set.

I found this from Mommy and Gracie show, they are at the Zelfs booth! (skip to 8.38)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiKIWEkiv5U

She says "I have to be careful since I can´t show.." when she is filming and the wall obviously continues so it seems that we can´t see any new Zelfs from Toy fair :(
There was some new blind bag eggs in the video though.

Ooo! There are a couple series 3 characters you can see on the wall briefly! I see an aqua one with pink feet that may be another Mermalade, a white one with gold feet and pink hair, a yellow one with yellow and lt orange hair, the panda, the dog, and a blue one with what look like antennae? next to Elfa on the middle shelf.

Wow, I'm incredibly bummed that Moose wasn't allowing the new Zelfs to be filmed! I was so looking forward to it. :( I wonder why they allowed it at the London Toy Fair, but not the one in New York?


Are the new egg ones for Easter? I hope Target or Walmart will have them.

I hope they're for Easter, too! If they have them at Target, there may be sales, or even after-Easter clearances to look forward to. Is it bad that my mind automatically goes there?!

--

On a brighter note, NY Toy Fair may not have allowed filming, but I discovered some videos from last month's London Toy Fair which show quite a lot of the new Zelfs! (Minus the Zelicious line, for some reason - no mention of them at all.)  I've taken some screenshots, and although they're not the clearest, they definitely shed a lot of light on what we have to look forward to for Season 3 of The Zelfs!

The first video can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sfUlhq9ADs

So from what I can gather from these video sources, some of the themed Zelfs we'll be seeing in Season 3 are:

Panda
Unicorn
Seahorse
Moose
Cloud
Storm
Ducky
Bunny
Moth
Cupid
Chihuahua
Gargoyle(?)

(I'm sure those aren't actually their names; someone posted earlier that the Duck Zelf will be named Billy.)

I can also see Super Zelfs versions of what look like a Chinese Dragon and a Poodle (the furry-footed one--too bad it's plastic "fur" and not the real furry stuff, though).

It also looks like maybe the Series 3 Lil' Zelfs will come in mushroom-shaped containers? The display with the Series 3 box has the same flower pots inside that Series 2 uses, but the picture on the box shows a Lil' Zelf sitting on a plastic mushroom, and one of the mushrooms is sitting next to the box.

Anyway, just wanted to share these exciting finds!  If anyone can track down more info, please post here!

Oh awesome, guys! Thanks for sharing those videos!
Now we know a lot about season 3! That last one says "Garden ___" something.
The White Tiger Zelf must go with these.
That playset looks to be part of the Zelicious line possibly, judging by the strawberries and candies in the tree.

OMG OMG awesome!!! Great find on those videos!! I am so excited about the unicorn, the chihuahua, the new dragon and what looks like an alien!!! Do you guys think the large one with Lil' D's color scheme may be a phoenix zelf?

 I read somewhere that the zelicious playset would come with an exclusive honeybee zelf, but I haven't seen pics anywhere.

 The names that I remember from the Zardenia poster before it was removed (and reuploaded without the season 3 characters) are Billy, Cupie, Petal, Lullaby, and Sealia. From the descriptions, I'm pretty sure Billy is the duck zelf and Sealia is the seahorse one. Cupie must be the cupid zelf. That leaves Petal and Lullaby. I'm wondering if Petal is the gargoyle/garden alien/? or bunny zelf and Lullaby is either the cloud or moth one?

That dragon!! I'm so getting that if it's in medium size, which I assume it will be.

I thought the orange one looked like a phoenix too, or perhaps a gryphon? It has what look like the kind of feathery 'ears' I see on gryphons a lot. Colours definitely suggest phoenix though.

I would love to find Jewelry, but until Zelfs start showing up at stores besides TRU, I guess I'll never have the chance to get any rare ones without way overpaying. It's so rare that I'm able to get to a TRU since it's such a long trip, and I've been disappointed multiple times when I don't find what I'm looking for.

I found Jewely at Toys R Us today(KY,USA)!!! I hyperventaled and almost passed out. So worth it!!! Haha. They had these new ones also! And  the Masquerades too (Picked those up last week). They are soooo much cuter in person! (Will take better pictures, but am just so excited, I had to post for you guys!)

I found this redemption form for Jewely, for you lucky ones in the UK. :)

http://www.ukmums.tv/uploads/ckfinder/userfiles/images/ZELF%20RUBY%20PROMO_online%20form%20VER%202.jpg

For anyone wondering about the distribution of Jewely, looks like the UK will be getting another mail-in campaign, with 1000 Jewelys (out of a worldwide 10000) to be available in the UK:
http://www.toynews-online.biz/news/read/character-options-launches-hunt-for-rare-ruby-zelf-campaign/041833?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ToyNewsOnline+%28ToyNews%29
They mention Jewely will be hidden in some collector tins. I wonder if a Series 2 tin will be produced?
Redemption forms are now available online and will be seeded through selected retailers in the upcoming weeks.

But wheeeeeere :x

Thanks for the heads up! :D

OMG now way! Congrats! I hyperventilated when I found Clover- i think we had the same reaction too! xD CONGRATS!! Im so thrilled they are popping up in TRU here in the US!!

WOW lots of cool Zelfs news today! ^_^ Congrats everyone, I'm really happy for you all!

As always, if anyone finds extra Jewely, please think of us poor Arena friends of yours who haven't been so lucky. ;) We all have lots of ponies and others to trade with you or buy. :3


PS: Stopped at TRU yesterday but was sad to see the top Zelf shelf still empty. :\ No new medium sized. They did have a couple new Ribbitta playsets on the bottom shelf, so at least they had something new.

Turned out I was able to go to Toys R Us today in Hoover, Alabama.  They had series 2 Zelfs!!  It looked like the shelves had already been mostly picked clean, but they had a few left.  They had one each of Birchy, Snap Jack, Teeny Genie, Flitter and Kitsu left.  They also had about four masquerade Zelfs, and several Ribbita playsets. 

I can't believe I only came away with three Zelfs:  Birchy, Snap Jack and Flitter.  Jack was the one I wanted the most, so I'm SO HAPPY I got him!!!  Yay!  He's so cute!

I'm already regretting not getting Genie.  At first glance, she looks just like Pega Sue, but Genie has blue eyes instead of orange, and subtly different coloring on her legs and ears (from what I remember).

I found some series 2 singles @ TRU today too!
I got Birchy, Snap Jack, Flitter, Lochlan & Teenie Genie. There was 1 Kitsu there too but the paint on her face was kinda imperfect so I decided I'll wait and hope I find a more perfect one. I hope I don't regret leaving her.

Hey, I have a question about the tinies in the flowerpots:

Does anyone know how to tell which ones are the Series 2 tinies?  Do they say "Series 2" or "2nd Wave" on the pots, or something?  I looked through the flowerpots at TRU today, but didn't see anything saying whether they were Series 1 or 2, so I didn't buy any.  (They might have all been Series 1 pots.)  I'm only interested in Series 2 tinies.

The Series 2 flowerpots are all hot pink with blue lids, as far as I can tell. Series 1 flowerpots are hot pink, purple or green, with matching lids.

No ruby though sadly with how many there were!  i had a guy fish out a box in the back too, 4 zelfs come in a case for the mediums. Saw a cute little greenhouse box with tons of minis on them! i would have taken a pic but my hubby was being rude and impatient. LOL wait I guess you could say he was being "Birtchy"

So today I was at Walmart and I decided to check out the clearance aisle (it used to be 3 aisles, but they condensed it down to 1) and while looking through a bin with a few random toys in it, I found a large Mermalade. Once I found her, I went carefully through the whole aisle twice, moving things around to make sure there weren't any other Zelfs. She was the only one. There wasn't a clearance sticker on her, but I decided I'd take her with me when I went to check out the toy section. I didn't find anymore Zelfs there and since I saw a worker there, stocking stuff, I decided to ask about them. She scanned it and confirmed it was the only one in the store, then explained that they had only ever gotten one small shipment of Zelfs and they never had a spot for them on the shelfs, either. This explains why I only ever saw one medium Zelf at Walmart before. But she also gave some bad news. They're apparently set to delete Zelfs from their system so they're not going to get any more. After hearing that, I couldn't not take Mermalade home with me. She rang up at $7, which is not too bad.

They had all the Masquerade Zelfs, as well as the first-wave Season 2 Zelfs. Still no Lil'Zelfs from Series 2, though. Has anyone in the USA found them anywhere yet? None of the new Super Zelfs were there yet, either, though I think I read they've been found in a store out on the east coast.

I haven't seen the lil' Zelfs or the Large Zelfs at mine either. But only one Toys R Us nearby has stocked Series 2 so far. I'm still waiting on the others, and Walmart said it would be another week.

 I am so happy people are finding Clovers and Jewelys in the wild!! And series 2!! If I find any Jewelys they will be for arena-folks who don't have her yet, coz' I already lucked out with mine from Taobao.

 Really surprised at how much I love Lochlan. He's so much cuter in person! I love his tail and the nessie on his leg, his color scheme. He's quickly becoming one of my faves!

 I compared my Teeny Genie to Pega Sue, and aside from the eye color, the main difference I noticed is that the colors of Pega Sue's hair are a lot more scattered and uneven looking, I guess? T.G. has larger sections of each hair color and they look a bit neater. If anything, Teeny Genie looks way closer to Masquerade Pega Sue than the regular one, since the Masquerade Pega has purple feet and the hair colors styled in the same way. I can see why they re-used that color scheme, since my daughter reaaaaaaally loves both Pega and T.G. and keeps talking about their colors, but I wish they'd at least used a different mold for the face!

 I also hope they eventually go back and release large sizes for the characters from series 1 who didn't get them. I would LOVE a large Howlette!

Thats exactly what my walmart is like!  Zelfs on clearance for $7 for the large. If you spot any mediums they are probably gonna ring up $3. That walmart told me the same thing, that tjey wefent going to get anymore then I found sefies 2 Spellinda! xD The series two I got wasnt in the system but she still rang up. Keep an eye out just in case for series two! :)

Employees sometimes don't know what they're talking about.  A couple of months ago I asked a toy store aisle employee if the store would be getting in more Bratz, and was told Bratz weren't being made any more.  This is not true.  Actually, the Bratz line is getting totally refreshed in 2015 and coming back with a bang (according to a Bratz site I saw).  So, employees don't always know what the heck they're talking about.  I think some people just like to SOUND like they're knowledgeable.  LOL.  My husband used to be like that.  He would never admit if he didn't know the answer to something.

It's weird to see all these miss clovers popping up  :blink: I wonder if the stores are just clearing out what they have in back to make way for the new wave or something.

I don't think any stores were saving stock in the back, I think it's just that these rare Zelfs aren't really as rare as Moose Inc. is making them seem. After all the run is 10,000 which is really a very large run for a single toy. I think they're just releasing them in trickles to make them seem rare, but we haven't gotten even close to the end of the run yet.

I'm trying to decipher their names from the video.
There's Spellinda (mint), Vampula (watermelon), Buttershy(berry)

I'm really intrigued by the black and white one (with bits of pink, last pic).  Also, I wonder what will come in the cupcake?  Or maybe it's just there to decorate the Zelf booth at Toy Fair.

That choccy one! <3

Out of curiousity, how many people have actually found Miss Clover and/or Jewely in the UK in stores? Excluding those who have sent in for them, I haven't really seen either of them in store!

Can anyone enlighten me on how you get Miss Clover or Jewely in the UK? I thought they were a few released to stores but now I've read that they are mail order only...I love green glittery things and I collect crystals so these two are high up on my want list because I think they are super-pretty, not just for their 'rarity' value (which seems slightly false considering the amount of people finding them in the US!)

Or does anyone have a spare one of each they'd be willing to sell me? I just can't afford stupid eBay prices :(

Just checked for Miss Clover, but it looks as though her promotion may have finished :(
I'm going to assume Jewely as taken her place now, though finding her voucher seems to be a bit more difficult.

I'm really intrigued by the black and white one (with bits of pink, last pic).  Also, I wonder what will come in the cupcake?  Or maybe it's just there to decorate the Zelf booth at Toy Fair.

I'm also really hoping we get Zelf ponies eventually, since there's a "ponytail paddocks" on the little Zardenia map in the Series 2 leaflet!

 I'm wondering if the mystery pink medium zelf is the playset exclusive for series 3, since the honeybee is for the Zelicious set? I'd also love to know if those mystery supers are going to be made into the other sizes too, because man is that dragon beautiful!!

LOL. That would be crazy!  I can't even picture what they would look like.  Maybe short, fat little ponies with saddles so the Zelfs could ride them.  That would be interesting.

Siiigh. Just got back from TRU and they had another shipment of the Masquerade Series 2 Zelfs, but none of the new characters. :( I hope they do get them eventually. None of the Walmarts here carry them, and there's only two TRU stores in my entire state, and this one is the only one close to me.

I did pick up a Pega Sue, though, because I like the Masquerade Zelfs and I hope buying up the masked ones will convince TRU to stock the rest of Series 2 soon. ;)

 One more video with some nice clear shots of some of the new characters! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG9r6Zz_tp4

 Looks like Petal is the.. does that say garden elf or gargoyle zelf? I can't tell.. she's the last one on the poster. The panda is named Pandala, and the bunny is Cottontail. Cute!

 Here's a list of the probable names so far. The first five are from the Zardenia PDF that was uploaded briefly with some of the season 3 characters, but later removed:

 Billy the duck (from the Zardenia pdf: "Loves making her friends quack up", so I guessed this one was the duck)
 Cupie the cupid ("Love blossoms wherever the petals fall")
 Petal the garden?gargoyle? ("Friends are what dreamz are made of")
 Sealia the seahorse ("Horsin' round in the rock pool is the mane place she lives")
Lullaby ("Her secrets are safely hidden in her dreams"). No clue which one she'll be, maybe the moth or cloud?
 Frostette the cupcake zelf
 Bubbles the bubblegum zelf
 Pandala the panda
 Cottontail the bunny

I keep forgetting to post this here! I emailed Moose with questions about the genders of Lochlan and Flamy (both of whom are referred to as he and she on their packaging), and also about the availability of Zelfs in the USA, since Walmart was removed from the vendor list on the official Zelfs website. Here's the response I got:

"Thank you for your email .
 
We are so pleased to hear that you are enjoying our Zelfs range .
 
Both Lochlan and Flamy are boys , sorry for the confusion , we are currently working on updating our packaging .
 
Zelf’s are available only at Toys R Us stores in the USA .
 
You can also currently purchase at Amazon.
 
Thank you for being a great fan .
 
Regards
 
Zach Hassakis
Customer Service Team
MOOSE ENTERPRISE"


So it's official--Flamy is a BOY! And it's sad that Toys 'R' Us is the only physical store in the USA selling Zelfs for now (not counting the Lil' Zelfs at Target). I did ask if there were any plans for more stores to sell them, but they didn't specify that in their response.

The one Walmart in my area that stocked Zelfs last year doesn't have them any more.  I don't think they even gave Zelfs a chance.  :mad: Let's face it: If a new toy comes out that's not by Mattel, it has a distinct disadvantage as it gets quickly squeezed out by the avalanche of syrupy pink Mattel stuff. 

My Toys R Us has lots of them, though, and they seem to be selling quite well there.

I really hate that they're TRU exclusive now. That means that I'll always have to pay more for them than people who have a close TRU. So I'll either have to pay shipping (plus, probably a higher retail price to start with since these tend to be no less than $10 each on eBay and Amazon) or I'll have to spend the gas money for a 4 hour round trip to get them. I really hope the minis sell well at Target and they decide to start selling the other sizes. So far, the Target near me has sold at least 2 boxes of the minis. And last time I was there, they had a full box and a partial box out.

Oh wow so I guess it's official walmart isn't carrying them anymore. I hope they pick them back up eventually. I had found a Miss Clover there before and was hoping I'd be so lucky to score myself a Jewely there too.
Maybe Target will start carrying more than just the li'l Zelfs soon.
I personally don't mind TRU being the only store carrying them all that much (my nearest TRU is right next to the grocery store I do a lot of my shopping at so it's convenient for me to check there and I do hate the chaos that is walmart) but I'd be nice to see the brand expanding rather than retailers dropping them :( They seem so popular too.
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: Dragonflitter on February 27, 2014, 09:20:03 AM
It does stink that Walmart won't carry them anymore, but I can say with 98% certainty that that was Walmarts call, not Moose's. Walmart is a giant corporation... I think a lot of people don't realize just how big it is. It is the top grossing physical company in the United States and it outsells all the other Top 5 companies (which include Target and McDonalds) even if you combined all their profits together. o_0

Suffice to say, Walmart will not carry products unless they're absolutely sure it's going to be a winning product for them. So they probably gave the Zelfs a shot, but the sales didn't bring in as much money as they wanted so they dropped the Zelfs from their stores. It really stinks, but there's the possibility of Target negotiating a deal to carry more than just the blind bags in the future.

(Also some of your local stores might end up carrying them, like for example my local Books-a-million bookstore carries Zelfs in the toy section. I assume they ordered them off Amazon.com like anyone else can.)
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: LuckyLeaf on February 27, 2014, 10:38:24 AM
That's the thing, though - it seems like most Walmart stores didn't even carry them, and there are numerous reports that, in the stores that did have them, they were not allotted a space in the planogram, and were put on clearance almost instantly. I just can't accept that Walmart dropped them because they were poor sellers; it seems more like they never had any plan for how to sell them in the first place.

As for Amazon being a Zelfs retailer in the USA, have there ever been Zelfs sold directly by Amazon? Seems like all the ones I see there are sold by third-party sellers (at a big markup). But they must be coming from somewhere, if smaller niche retailers are able to stock them? It's a mystery! At any rate, if Zelfs continue to be big sellers, I'm sure more retailers will come on board. All we USA collectors can do in the meantime is to continue supporting the brand!

Post by: Dragonflitter on February 27, 2014, 12:07:06 PM
*checks Amazon* Hmm, yes, you're right. The sellers that are coming up with Zelf toy listings are Moose Toys and ZELFS, so they're not technically 'third parties.' More like first parties, lol. But yeah, those sellers are not selling them at anywhere close to store retail (which is strange to me). But when Moose is telling people to buy on Amazon, that is probably what they are referring to. They have their own account to sell the toys on Amazon.

I'm pretty sure Moose Toys and ZELFS are just listed as the manufacturer, not as the seller. Each listing states which third-party vendor the toys are actually coming from (for example, this listing (http://www.amazon.com/Zelfs--Styles-Colors-Vary-Piece/dp/B00ECEREOA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393531990&sr=8-1&keywords=zelfs) says Moose Toys is the manufacturer, but the description states the toy is actually sold by a retailer called GamingTitans). As far as I can tell, the toys aren't actually being distributed through Moose via Amazon, except through the third-party vendors.  Maybe Amazon themselves actually stocked them during the Holidays, though? Does anyone know for sure?

Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: Dragonflitter on February 27, 2014, 12:31:19 PM
Ooo good eye! There's so many different places to look on an Amazon page lol. You're right, looks like that is still a third party seller, but they listed Moose Toys as the manufacturer (and also they are apparently storing them at an Amazon warehouse, which is why the page says 'Fulfilled by Amazon' on it...fascinating...)

I do remember Zelfs being for sale at a reasonable rate on Amazon during the holidays, but that could just be because it was before they got more popular and the third-party sellers jacked up the prices.

(This makes me wonder... if they are only for sale from third party sellers on Amazon, where the heck did Books-a-million get them to put in their bookstore toy section...? o.0 )

 I just purchased a few of the supers from Series 1 on Amazon for my daughter (she wanted her own collection!) and it ended up being slightly cheaper than going to TRU for them. But we also use Prime so that saved on shipping. I couldn't find the masquerades or anything for a decent price on there though. :/
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: ShortyBoo on February 27, 2014, 03:28:44 PM
Hopefully I'll be able to get the ones I want from the second wave from people on here who will sell at cost and won't charge a fortune for shipping. I've heard TRU charges quite a bit for shipping when you order online from them, and since I'd be perfectly fine with my Zelfs being shipped loose, I'm sure someone on here could ship them for much less.

I'm not holding my breathe though so if anyone is kind enough to get Miss Clover or Jewely and be prepared to sell them to me and ship to the UK that would be great!

I went to Tescos in Gloucester today and found a HUGE shelf of all the non-masquerade medium Zelfs - I picked up Mermalade, Lunanne and two tiny ones :D They had loads of them.

I want the bee and moth ones...they are so cute! I know they have the ladybug in large, but does anyone know if they will be releasing a medium version of her at all?

The ladybug is a Series 2 medium Zelf as well as a Large. :) Her name is Lady B.

There's 14 Series 2 medium Zelfs that are original characters. Lady B is one of them. :) There's also 6 Masquerade Zelfs released at the same time, though it is a separate shipment to stores.

So some Books-A-Millions are carrying Zelfs now?  That's awesome!  :biggrin: I have one about 15 minutes away from me.  I know they carry the big Funko molded ponies as well (I bought Rainbow Dash from them last year. LOL).  I'm actually going to that shopping center today to go to the bank.  Maybe I'll peek into BAM for a moment to see if they're carrying Zelfs now. 
 :P

EDIT:  I did get to go to BAM.  They DO carry Zelfs now!  But they only had Series 1, and the price was slightly high at $7.99 each (U.S. dollars).  No Series 2.  Awesome that they're carrying them now, though.

Yeah I had the same find, just Series 1. And they don't seem to be flying off the shelves--they've had the same ones there forever. (Possibly because TRU is right next door and is selling them for cheaper.) But I hold out hope I'll see Series 2 there someday!

Just went to my local TRU last week and they had a few of the masquerades and a couple of the series one Zelfs. I stopped in last night and found 1 Birchy (which was the one I really wanted from this series) and a Jewely...just sitting there...so I picked them both up. I really like the Jewely, but after seeing the prices on ebay for her, I had to list her...(I thought she'd be going for maybe $20 tops....shows how much I know)

They also had a snap jack which which was super cute in person, a flitter and a teeny genie. I think that these are going to be popping up all over now--which is nice because I also hope to find a lochlan :D

Has anyone seen Webina in person??

Congrats on finding Jewley, Tararawr! I understand the need to put her up on ebay, though I wish you had put her up for trade here on the Arena so your fellow collectors could have offered something valuable to trade for her!

@Sora - I know some of us are collecting the Large size, but personally I don't like the sculpt of them. Their heads are weird and squarish and a bit too big, which isn't cute to me, like the medium sized sculpts are.

I know, that's how I felt with mine! My mom is planning a big trip and selling all kinds of stuff on ebay to raise money for it, and she looked up Jeweley just for kicks. I felt bad because I couldn't really justify keeping her when I could sell her for that much and put it towards my mom's trip or something. But I collect toys because I enjoy them, and I would have been sad getting rid of her. And since I got her at the store for retail price anyway...I just went ahead and opened her and I'll enjoy her and that's that! I think you should do the same-- enjoy her for what she is and don't worry about how much she could potentially be worth, or it'll ruin your enjoyment of her, and that's not what toys are about!

Open it! I always say that if you prefer them deboxed, then go for it (and this is coming from someone who loves most toys in the boxes)! I've never really been fond of the whole box vs debox thing.

@Dragonflitter - Yeah, the medium ones are definitely cuter. I just don't seem to find them very often though :(

Now a big question is what do you guys do with the boxes keep or throw out.  I have been keeping a lot of boxes of my dolls.  The zelfs I just kept the cardbacks and the little leaflet inside.

For Zelfs I keep the leaflet and the cardboard base of the packaging (the thing with the Zelf picture on the front) but I throw out the plastic bubble and the cardboard back. ^_^

  Yes I keep the part with zelf picture on front also.  True the card backs were all the same.

I *may* have somehow acquired Garny, Snap jack and Lunanne....they are so pretty! I have kept all the receipts too. You US peeps are so lucky to have the rarer ones floating about on shelves!

I would also like to know if anyone has seen Webina. Or medium lady B; I've seen her in large but I don't want to start with collecting those! It's bad enough I have three lil' Zelfs as well as the medium ones :D

I am way behind on this thread! Trying to get caught up now! :D

Re: Super Zelfs -
I feel like the rare one who loves them! Their faces aren't as cute as the medium Zelfs, but I find them endearing in their own way, almost like they're parents to the smaller ones, or maybe just grown-up versions. I also love the substantial size and the way they feel in the hand, and I LOVE the pearly, glitter and especially the glow effects!

Re: Jewely -
Congrats to everyone who is finding her! Once again, I feel like the odd one here, because I don't find her nearly as pretty as Miss Clover. The gems on Jewely's head sort of look like extra eyes to me...that said, I won't give mine up for anything, and I'm still amazed I managed to find her!

Re: Wave 2 of medium/Super Zelfs Series 2 -
I don't think Webina medium and super, Lady B. medium, Dorothy-Doe medium, Catsby medium, Dandy-Lion medium and Super, or Owlmanda medium and super have been found in stores anywhere yet (correct me if I'm wrong). Pretty sure these are going to be a wave 2 of Series 2 Zelfs.

Re: Lil' Zelfs Series 2 -
Has ANYONE in the USA found these yet, in either the flowerpots or the eggs? I've been hoping to see the eggs at least in the Easter displays in stores, but nothing yet, even though my Toys 'R Us has lots of Easter merchandise already. So sad! I hope they won't be hard to find, because I've really become obsessed with Lil' Zelfs, and the only place the Series 2 can be obtained so far is from the UK. I have a few, but I need more!

Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: ShortyBoo on March 04, 2014, 08:34:15 AM
Yeah, I was hoping to find the eggs in the Easter section of a store by now, but sadly, all I can find are the series 1 flower pots, and only at Target. And since I'm only looking for 2 or 3 more series 1 Lil' Zelfs, I don't feel like it's worth it anymore for me to risk getting duplicates.

As for the large Zelfs, I'm not a big fan of them. However, I do really love the one I have, which is Mermalade. But I don't think I'll get anymore of that size. It's probably better anyway, since I don't have a lot of room for them. Right now, they're just kind of shoved in a corner of my computer desk, in front of my J-Dolls. I'm thinking of moving them to the shelf above the TV in my bedroom, though. I'd miss having them out here, though. I like playing with their hair. Maybe I'll move the mediums and leave my large Mermalade out here.

I'm a little surprised there was a series 2. I figured they'd be like all those other flash in the pan toylines we get just before the holidays. ^^;; I'm glad that's not the case! But I definitely didn't buy all the ones I wanted... curses. xD

I saw Kitsu and Birchy pass through my line at work the other day. Lucky little girl that bought them, 'cause there weren't any others when I checked. xD I'll just have to keep my eye out. They really are so cute, like Trolls + My Little Pony.
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: ShortyBoo on March 05, 2014, 09:36:53 AM
^Yup, that's why I like them. They're what MLP used to be, with lots of characters in all different colors and designs. It's sad how Hasbro has let the MLP line become a bunch of repeats. Didn't they learn anything from their Bore 7/G3.5 phase? I hope Zelfs don't end up falling into the "same characters with just a slightly changed design" thing. I'll admit that that was my first thought when I saw the Masquerade Zelfs.

 I really hope they stick around for a good long time. Moose Toys looks like its had good luck with its Trash Pack brand and they're using similar methods with the Zelfs (chase figures, waves, etc). They seem pretty popular! I don't see many that just sit on the shelves here.

I stopped by TRU for my weekly hopeful search of the Zelf shelf, but I was disappointed yet again. :( The shelf has a couple of the Masquerade Series 2, but that's it. No Series 1, and no Series 2 new characters. I hope the wave with Birchy and Lady B will be coming soon, probably when it's closer to spring.

I saw Snapjack I think yesterday, though that one is not to my taste. Birchy and Kitsu returned as well (and somehow stuck around til today)... I just keep forgetting to grab them! Those two may be my favorites from this round. I'm also digging Dorothy-Dot, Catsby, Dandy-lion, and Lochlan.

We also happened to get a series 1 Elfa back in, and I should grab her too. I really want her, the green one with the black cat, the angel, and the werewolf (I snagged one before Christmas but wound up sending it to my boyfriend who loved her xD) in medium size.

ShortyBoo, I agree! I hope they keep coming out with interesting new ones. The Masquerade versions did not wow me, but hey, at least there were lots of new characters, and at least they did switch up the paint jobs respectably. Hasbro thinks putting out one new character and slapping some cardboard masks on is sufficient for a masquerade line, and their Rainbow Rocks effort is pitiful (they just had to use those awesomely painted concept arts and then release no painted playfuls...). >_>

Slightly off topic but it seems Hasbro is releasing a line of Playful Ponies with designs all over them. Stock pics of Cheerilee and three of the mane 6 have been spotted.

Ah, that's great! I'd only seen stock pics of the Rainbow Power playfuls without the designs (like this (http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131205080313/mlp/images/c/c8/Fluttershy_Rainbow_Power_Playful_Pony_toy.png)), and I was like, "Seriously?" That's how the Pinkie in the copter is too, only streaked hair.

Anyway, back to Zelfs! I tried watching the cartoon. It's... not very good. xD But I expected that. Toy line cartoons that actually turn out good are rare, even less so when they're 2 minute webisodes. As long as the toys are cute, I'm happy. :P

WHAT THE HECK TRU!  :pullhair:


For the past three weeks the Zelf stand has been almost entirely empty in my TRU. They have a few of the playsets (Tressa and Ribbita) and a row of Large Series 1 Zelfs on the bottom shelf that have not been selling, and on the top shelf there's been a few Series 2 Masquerade Zelfs, but always just a couple at a time. I stop by every Wednesday, since that's when they get new shipments to the store, hoping they would get the new Series 2 characters.

As I walked up the aisle today, from a distance I saw that all three shelves were stuffed full of Medium-sized Zelfs! I freaked out and rushed up to the Zelf stand. And what did I find?

TWENTY SEVEN GARNEYS.

I'm not even kidding. All three shelves were stuffed full of 27 medium sized Series 1 Garney! I just stopped in shock and stared. What the heck happened here?!

I carefully went through the shelves twice, just to make sure I wasn't seeing things, and there were 7 Series 1 Vampulas mixed in. So, 27 Garney and 7 Vampula. All Series 1. And the Masquerades were long gone.

I have no idea what happened, but let this be a warning! Just be careful what you wish for, folks! For three weeks I have been wishing and wishing that the Masquerade Zelfs would disappear and there would be something different on the shelves... now I wish they would go back to the Masquerades! :P

Post by: Dragonflitter on March 13, 2014, 08:27:50 AM
I'm not sure what's happening. We've seen in the past that the orders most likely come in sets of 12. There were 12 characters in the original release, and 12 new characters for the Series 2 release. There's also half-sets, which come in boxes of 6 (the Series 2 Masquerade).

But these seem to be large batches of a single character, which is very odd. If they are still in sets of 12, then each box is filled with 12 Garneys, or 12 Lil'D's, or 12 Vampulas? But is this being done on purpose, like they're switching how they ship the medium sized ones to retail stores, or is it a mistake that we're seeing sets of all one character? Hmm. Maybe we should contact Moose Inc.

My local TRU has had a ton of series 1 Flamys multiple times. You will go in one day and they have nothing but Flamys...go in next week and have a bunch of mixed masquerades and series ones....then a week later have a bunch of Flamys again. It's weird how it seems like they're arriving in stores in bunches of the same character!

One of my TRU put out a ton of Spellinda and the other Pegasue. I was wondering what happened! It's so much worse than just finding Masquerade. I'm worried these are just going to sit on the shelves and new ones wont be put out for a while. *sigh*

I got a blind pot too and got exactly the one I wanted! Look, they match with their little wings! I find it funny that I love Garney the most because I HATE spiders!

I'm kicking myself a little because a few weeks ago, I saw Kitsu there and never again. I sort of carried it around and then decided I didn't need it. I still don't care much for Kitsu, but I see some of you are looking for him/her, so now I feel bad!

It's okay MM, I think the Series 2 new characters are officially slated for a spring release, so they're probably not in most stores yet. I'm hoping we will be seeing them in more abundance soon. :)

Maybe all these strange shipments of multiples of one or two characters is just Moose Inc's way of getting rid of the last of their old stock? These could be the last shipments of Series 1.

For some reason, seeing all those faces looking back at me... I'd feel as though they're laughing at me :P

I've been trying to get my grubby little hands on the series 2 mini Zelfs, but Sainsbury's just restocked some more series 1. They also dumped a Birchy on the 'reduced to clear' aisle along with the Zelf price sticker, but it was the only item -not- actually reduced. Go figure!

My TRU still has one or two Birchy, several Lochlans, at least one Kitsu, and maybe a Snapjack or two. Possibly some others, I didn't really get the chance to look today. I keep forgetting to buy the ones I want... and at this point I'll probably wait 'til another paycheck anyway. Hope some are still hanging around. xD Ours really haven't moved... I wonder if there aren't many collectors in my area?

Are the series 2 Zelfs coming out in two waves? Today I picked up Birchy, Lochlan, Snap Jack, Kitsu, Flitter(?) and Teenie Genie, plus one of the masquerade ones. I'd seen Kitsu, Snap Jack, and Flitter before but passed on them. That got me thinking that I've yet to see Dandy Lion, Catsby, or Owlmanda, (three of my favorites!) or the spider or deer in stores. The nice cashier even went to the back and brought out what hadn't been put out yet so I could look through them, and none of them had any of those zelfs either. I think each box held six, and some had more than one of the same zelf in the box.

These things are an addiction, I swear. I even had a dream the other night where I found Ribbita sold individually like the others. (On that note, if anyone does another TaoBao Zelf order, I'd totally be down for a single Ribbita and that flytrap one!)

 I think Lochlan is my favorite of the new ones I bought today, I love how his little tail moves!

I'm 99% sure the Series 1 Zelfs were shipped in boxes of 12, and the Series 2 Masquerade Zelfs came in boxes of 6, but I'm not entirely sure if the Series 2 new characters are 12-box or 6-box.

Thanks for posting that video, Mandy! This gives me hope they'll actually show up in the USA soon. I actually just emailed Moose earlier today to check if the Series 2 Lil' Zelfs and Super Zelfs will be released here. I don't want to have to import these if I don't have to, especially since the Zelfs I ordered from Character-Online in the UK a month ago still haven't arrived yet, and when I emailed to ask about tracking, they just said they'd ask their local post office...sigh.  :huh:

Wow, WildLace, that's so cool you found them! That's the first time I've seen the second wave of Season 2 Zelfs being found in stores. Congrats!

And I'm happy to report that after over a month of waiting, I've finally received my package of Zelfs from Character-Online in the UK! I got Super Zelfs Catsby, Teeny Genie & Lady B, as well as the Zelfs collector tin, and ten Lil' Zelfs from Series 2. A few weird things I've noticed about the new Lil' Zelfs:

- The pamphlet shows Lochlan with magenta hair, but the one I got has green hair, and so looks almost exactly like Birchy.

- Some of the minis aren't solid colored plastic all the way through, but rather are white plastic completely painted over. I've noticed Owlmanda and Lady B like this so far. I wonder why? In my opinion, it doesn't look as nice as the solid-colored ones.

- Flitter (at least the one I got) is made of a completely different material, super squishy, almost like Squinkies! I hope they don't start making other ones from this material., because it gets dirty so easily, and the fuzzy hair just wants to stick to it.

I found the Zelfs eggs at TRU today! They were 1.99, which is a much better price for these. I got a bunch of them and nearly got all the characters I wanted (still need Kitsu, Catsby, Teeny Genie and Snap Jack). If anyone wants to trade I have an extra Regular Birchy and Regular Flitter. I love all the different poses and molds on these.

I sure hope the second wave series 2 and large Zelfs start showing up.

Post by: LuckyLeaf on March 21, 2014, 10:31:44 AM
That's so exciting, fungi! This is the first time I've heard the Series 2 Lil' Zelfs have been found in the USA! Did you find them in the Easter section, or with the regular Zelfs display? I was just at TRU two days ago & didn't see them, but I'll try to swing back out there this weekend to have another look! :D If you have extras to trade, be sure to post them in the Zelfs Trading Thread, so all the other collectors can have a look!

Edit: I had Spring Fever and left work early today, so I stopped by TRU, and miracle of miracles, I found them! My store had them stocked with the regular Zelfs section.

Wow, $2 each is what the flower pot ones should have been priced at. I always thought the $3 price was a bit too much. I hope Target gets these because I won't be getting to a TRU anytime soon and I'd rather not have to pay to have them shipped to me.

Forgot to mention, but the best thing about the eggs is that they have peep holes on both the top and the bottom, so it's pretty darn easy to see exactly (egg-xactly?) which Zelf you're getting!

... And I shall buy the Tressa playset.

I asked the FB Zelfs page when serie 2's gonna be available in Canada.
They responded :

Hey there Zelfie! Keep your eyes peeled - they should be on shelf real soon! EPPP! How excitement!

... I can't wait.  ;)

Oh man Lorelei Redfern, that's a shame! Of course, it's hard to tell what toys will make it big. Sometimes I wish I had a time machine so I would know which ones to buy and hold on to because they'll appreciate in value! lol. If you had grabbed those Clovers when you saw them, you could easily sell them on ebay for $50+ each right now.

Or trade them for valuable ponies here on the Arena. ;)

Their hair is very, very gently matted at the ends and there's a couple of tiny paint chips at the back, but aside from that, they're in great condition!

I get to go to TRU this weekend! I'm babysitting my niece while my brother's at drill and we're going to be driving her home Sunday. Since they live near a TRU, we're stopping there on the way back. So hopefully that means I'll be able to pick up some of the Zelf eggs while I'm there. Hopefully it won't be too hard to tell which ones are in them.

Argh I keep meaning to post then forgetting. The zelf eggs are packed with two teirs in the display carton. The top tier is all normal, bottom tier is all glitter/pearl :) Terrible packing idea, but good for us  ^.^

My TRU has put out 2 cases of them now, but neither one was packed with regular on top and glitter/pearl on bottom. Both tiers in both boxes were mixed. I was the first person to buy any, so I'm pretty confident they arrived that way, but it's possible they may have been mixed up during stocking. What has everyone else encountered in terms of a mix of eggs? The only unusual thing I noticed is that the glitter versions seem MUCH harder to find than the regular or pearl. Out of both cases at my TRU, only maybe 5 eggs total contained glitter Zelfs!  In Series 1, it seemed like the pearl and glitter were just as common as the regular, so maybe it's different in Series 2?

It's a TRU exclusive, I think. My TRU still has three of them on the bottom shelf, they've been sitting there forever.

Post by: Dragonflitter on March 28, 2014, 05:21:07 PM
SCORE!!! Omg omg FINALLY for the first time, my TRU had the new characters!! :D I'm so so happy! Both sides of the display were filled with Zelfs! There was still a whole bunch of Garney left, but there was also the other Series 1 Zelfs peppered through, and on the other side there were a couple of the Masquerades. AND the tiny blind eggs! AND the new charas! Yay, it was a Zelf smorgasboard!

I picked up Lochlan, Birchy, and Flitter. There was also Kitsu, Teenie Gennie, and Snap Jack. Other people have also said they've found these six, so I assume these six come in half the sets that the store orders, and the other half of the sets (perhaps being released later?) will have Owlmanda, Lady B, Catsby, Webina, Dorothy-Doe, and Dandy-Lion.

I grabbed two of the pink blind eggs and I made sure to get two from the bottom tier, like Rhini said. I got pearl Webina and pearl Flitter. :)

No Jewely of course. :c I will never find her... sigh.


how much are htey? lol i'll have to see if i can find one next time i go

They're $19.99. Yeah pricey, but they're HUGE. Even bigger than the large Zelfs. And soooo much rainbow hair haha!

Post Merge: March 28, 2014, 05:52:32 PM

I got two today  :biggrin: Got Kitsu and Lochlan, although Lochlan's hair is green, not pink like it shoes on the insert

Oh really? My Lochlan's hair is pink in front and green in back! You got all green hair? Maybe it's a factory error! Can you show pics?

Woo! Glad my advice helped  ^.^ I forgot to mention the lochlan was a mini egg one. I can get some pics though.


Meanwhile, I came across THIS weirdness. My regular birchy is...glittery on the inside?! That's so aggravating, why would they do that?  :huh: It just seems like a waste.

So the head was made of clear plastic with glitter in it and painted? No clue why they did it that way but now I wish there were Sparkle Lil Zelfs.
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: LuckyLeaf on March 29, 2014, 07:37:21 AM
Quite a few of the Series 2 Lil' Zelfs are made of different plastic painted over, either the clear glitter plastic, or solid white plastic. I guess maybe they did that because they couldn't achieve the colors they wanted in the solid plastic (just a theory). Even so, I don't understand it, and the painted-over Zelfs don't look nearly as nice as the solid-colored ones, in my opinion. I'm actually quite a bit disappointed in the Series 2 Lil' Zelfs for this exact reason, and I find myself liking Series 1 more, even though the newer Series has so many cute new poses. :(

@Rhini: Ohhh, mini Lochlan! Yes, he is green hair all the way. Maybe they thought green body and pink hair looked too much like another Zelf chara.

Poor mini Birchy! lol! Well science is important! Maybe you can make him a body somehow and sell him as a custom. ^_^

My mini pearl Webina is solid white plastic inside, and my mini pearl Flitter is clear glittered plastic inside. As Lucky Leaf said, it seems they are painted. Maybe it was cheaper to mass produce them all in one color and then paint them afterward. Or maybe as Lucky said they couldn't get the shades of color they wanted in the plastic itself so they painted them.

@FluffleNuff and aubreysmommy: They are definitely showing up all over the US now, both east coast and west coast, and I've seen people from Europe posting that they have found them as well. I'm sure they will be in your area soon, just make sure you're only looking in TRU. Walmart dropped the line and will no longer be carrying them. Probably didn't make them enough money. You can also order through Amazon.com.

So whoever had the idea of checking ebay for the playset Zelfs is a genius. I have both Tressa and Ribbita coming to me from a seller in China. Thank you!

That's where I got both of mine too.

Welp, there it is - The first dream I've had about Zelfs.

And since she was so prominent there, I need an Angelala. The large one if I can find one. Has anyone seen her in stores recently (any country)?

We still have the medium Angelala (I have one for trade if you're interested?) but the only Large Zelfs I've had at my TRU is a stack of 6 large Lil D's that have been sitting there in the corner of the shelf since December.

Thank you both for letting me know! Dragonflitter, I'll be visiting London soon (my last resort), but if they're out of stock too, I'll no doubt be sending you a PM ;)

Bah, London had all the standard figures in... Except Angelala >>; Dragonflitter, looks like I'll be sending you a PM soon!
In fact, everywhere seems to be full of Lil D's.

Also, for those in the UK - TRU have an offer going on. Spend £15 on Zelfs and get a free medium Zelf.

Medium Zelfs buy one get one free this week at TRU!  :biggrin: I think theyre trying to get rid of the stockpile of the SAME character they all got But who wants to buy a Garney when your only choice is another Garney?!

Ooh, nice!
I've just found out the UK TRU offer EXCLUDES the medium Zelfs, noted only in the small print (despite advertising all sizes with the 3 for 2 offer). Apparently the manager has had a lotta complaints about it, too.

I took advantage of this today and bought the last Birchy and Snap Jack on the shelves.  I had to giggle when I got out to my car because they remind me of the weather we've been having here in Michigan.  It wants to turn green outside and be spring but there are still heaps of snow everywhere.

Funny you mention your store only has Garny, because mine has a load of Mermalaid- like a whole shelf that's just solid Wave 1 Mermalaid.

In Argos they have the large Zelfs two for £15 :)

My Zelfs have.....exploded....or something.... Where the hay did they all come from? I think my bedroom has some sort of exit for a Zelf black hole. (That is my excuse and I am sticking to it :ninja: )

I want both lol :)

But does anybody know of or seen variants or I guess mistakes on zelfs? I found a garny with one green eye and one yellow eye. Will try to post a pic soon, my camera is acting up on me grrr.
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: Dragonflitter on April 12, 2014, 06:24:01 AM
Yeah I would consider that a factory error, not a variant, PrincessTiffy. But I definitely want to see pics! :D

I've seen a lot of factory errors with Zelfs in regards to their paint jobs, some that have smudges or pieces of the paint job missing or the different colors just don't line up right (I have a Garney whose roses are WAY far from the stems lol).

But I haven't seen any real unusual errors like MIB with wrong eyes or wrong hair or wrong wings. (There's a bunch of ones up on ebay and taobao with the wrong wings, but I think the Chinese workers who take them out of the factory just put whatever wings they can find on them to sell them).

Congrats lemonice!! Nice find!

I now think of Wednesday as Zelf Day, because my TRU delivery truck arrives on Wednesdays so I always stop after work to see if there are new Zelfs. Unfortunately not. :( All the Series 2 are completely gone, they just have about 16 Garneys and 4 Vampulas Series 1 on the shelf. I hope the sell quickly so TRU orders some more shipments and we get more Series 2 back on the shelves. >.>

In the USA they are pretty much TRU exclusives at this point. They were in Walmart for a short time but Walmart dropped them, and they can be found on Amazon.com as well but for stores it's pretty much just TRU. Although Target does sell the mini blind bag versions near the cash register. :)

There were some others in the listing but they appeared to be unfinished or flawed versions of already released ones.

A couple of these look like they might be glow-in-the-dark. They kinda look to be inspired by Garny, ?, Mermalade, Flamy, Vampula & Angelala.
What do you think the deal with them might be?

Well, that's insanely disappointing. My mother bought me 8 minis as a gift to cheer me up.

5 (!) were Teeny Genie. 4 of which were identical. 2 Catsby and a Birchy. Out of a possible 32 different figures, I only managed to get 4 :(

"I talked to an employee"

I don't know how much knowledgeable the employees at your store are, but I know more about the products than most of them do (no offense to TRU workers out there)

"and they scanned it in"

Well, yeah! You are holding a Wave 1 Zelf. Is that the one they scanned? Those shouldn't be arriving to shelves anymore....

I think that tru probably just are not getting any more series 1 Zelfs. I know the series 2 are a different upc. It'd be really sad if tru stopped carrying them. I'm still sad walmart dropped them and am still hoping target will pick up the full line.

Hey Zelf collectors, I contacted Moose Inc. through customer service and TRU is NOT discontinuing the Zelfs line in the US. :D

This is the email I got back from them:

Quote
Hi {my name}

Thank you for your email .

Zelf’s are not being discontinued .

They are currently available only at Toys R Us stores in the USA .

Our best suggestion is that you contact Toys R Us direct on 1-800-TOYSRUS direct and they will be able to assist you with stores nearest to you.

Can you please advise where you heard that we are discontinuing the Zelfs?

Regards
Zach Hassakis
Customer Service Team


This youtube guy obviously is mistaken. I gave Zach the link and let him know I will spread the word that the video is not correct. :)

I'm glad this was just bad information. I would miss the cute little things.
  I can't help but think that rumors like this would have a harder time taking hold if the distribution of Zelfs was a little less erratic. For example, the fact that the first wave was only in select Walmarts, and then dropped entirely. It would also help if the series one clear out that landed loads of a single character at each TRU location had at least been balanced with the series two characters being listed on the TRU website. They seem popular, but the ever shrinking availability doesn't project the brand confidence that zelf popularity should elicit. I look forward to the second half of the second wave!

They haven't gotten ANY new Zelf toys since Christmas here. I'm wondering id TrU here is going to drop them, since they don't even have a specific area anymore. It's weird, because they did sell in January, beginning of February, but they just don't seem to be keeping on top of them. Sux cause I was looking forward to the new waves :(

Not to be a poopface, but never believe 100% of anything those youtube personalities say. Most of them spread rumors once in a while or have a misleading video headline just to get more views.
Some of the more popular ones who do reviews are also prone to think they are "insiders" somehow just because Mattel sends them a doll once in a while ;)

Thanks, Dragonflitter, for debunking the rumors!

Thank you! The stands are nail polish racks. I got them off amazon. I actually hope to replace them with some acrylic risers with a higher step eventually, but these work for now. :)

Finally seen the Zelfs in person, in my local TRU! No Miss Clover, but I was expecting too much XD It's strange that are releasing the wave 1 first, but the playset with special Zelf is Ribbita, from wave 2. Now I don't know which one to pick... hum...

I'm quite upset :/ I dont know what is going on, but we still have yet to see the Wave 1 of Series 2, and the staff are telling me that they do not know when they would arrive as their supplier has yet to contact them about it.

Needless to say, I am really upset, I hope they will come to Singapore and soon! :(

Finally! Zelfs have arrived to Spain! :newpony: But now I don't know which one I want Dx I'd like to get Tressa, but I don't want the playset! I'm sure it's too big and it will take up space

Collectors, may you please share pics of all the charms that comes with Zelfs? So you'll help me deciding which I'll pic (I'll go for Miss Clover, but in case she is not in stores...)

Sorry it's a little late, but these are all the charms I have (minus Spellinda's black cat charm, which is kind of similar to Kitsu's fox and very cute.)
Left to right: Lil D, Flamy, Kitsu, Mermalade, Howlette.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login



Has anybody else attached their charms to anything?
I've had Howlette's charm on my phone for a while (hence the slight paint damage in the photo), and I put Flamy's charm on my MP3 player recently too.

New Zelfs!!! We had some, not all, but I got who I wanted! Owlmanda and Dorothy :) :)

We also had Dandy Lion, Lady B, Catsby, Masquerade Buttershy, Masq. Pega-sue, and Masq. Mermalade. No Birchy or Lochlann, so I'm waiting on those! I didn't even see Dorothy until the last minute- there was only one of her left tucked behind some others, and I was so happy!

Owlmanda and Dorothy are both gorgeous!

You poor thing- hold out, though! My TRU literally never gets anything new and they totally surprised me today, so yours could be around the bend! Otherwise, maybe try buying the 11 Garneys, keep the receipt, wait for restock, then return them XD Kidding, I would never be able to afford to do that...

That said, if you want me to pick some up for you, I'm happy to do so! I think I grabbed our only Dorothy for now, but we have Lady B, DandyLion, and Owlmanda!

Aw, my first Zelf with bad QC issues. I got a large Webelina, but when I removed her from the box, I realised she had all glue stuck to her face and her sides. The paint seems to have chipped off a bit where the glue is too, and there's a paint scratch across her foot :(

I've seen quite a few with bad paint jobs and weird stuff in their hair, so they are definitely not safe from QC issues, but typically I can find a good one without too much trouble.

I've been pretty lucky with them until now - Paint chips don't bother me, it's just the glue that seems to get to me (possibly because it seems that part of the actual mould has also been chipped near her head too).

But anyway, I've managed to get some of the glue off her at least :)

HUZZAH! Wednesday is Zelf Day yet again! :D

I stopped by TRU after work last night and found Series 2 Wave 2! There were 3 Dandy-Lion, 2 Catsby, 1 Dorothy-Doe, 2 Lady B, and 2 Owlmanda.

I bought a Dandy-Lion, Catsby, and Lady B. I passed on the Dorothy-Doe and the Owlmanda because all of them had very messy paint jobs.

Has anyone else noticed the paint jobs on Zelfs are pretty hit-or-miss? Not that I'm complaining too much, they are a very inexpensive toy and I'm grateful for that (especially since I want to collect them all!) but I find it sad that I often pass on ones I find in the store if I can't find one with a good paint job. (For example last month I left behind a Snap Jack and a Kistu because they both have bad paint, and I haven't seen another since :(

I'm also a bit concerned... I thought the Series 2 Wave 1 would be restocked with the Series 2 Wave 2, but it looks like my TRU only got 3 or so cases of Wave 2 alone. I worry that we won't see any more Series 2 Wave 1 Zelfs, which is sad cuz there was several of them I haven't gotten yet! :(

And of course no Jewly. *sigh* I wish she wasn't so pretty... I really want her because she's gorgeous, not because she's rare. -_-

Post by: pitbullluver21 on May 15, 2014, 07:12:30 AM
You should buy it anyways even if it has a bad paint job because then you can always return it for one that has a good paint job if they get more in stock if they don't then at least you still have one of each character.

The UK are only just starting to get the next wave of series 2 in as well. I finally got my Dandy-Lion and Owlmanda! But they were the only ones of each in the store.

Like I said, I've been really lucky with paint jobs so far - Only my 'super' Webbina has been of poor quality.

We pretty much know the next ones already from toy fair images/video (many pages back in this thread). Unless they change them before production there will be a:
Panda (named Pandela)
Bunny (named Cottontail)
Unicorn
Seahorse
Moose
Cloud
Storm
Ducky
Moth
Cupid
Chihuahua
Garden ?something (named Petal)
The rare Zelf for the wave will be a White Tiger
and there will also be a series of "Zelicious" scented Zelfs that have an accessory they sit in and are scented like:
Frosting (named Frostette)
Bubblegum (named Bubbles)
Chocolate (named Choco?something)
Mint (Spellinda remade)
Berry (Buttershy remade)
Watermelon (Vampula remade)
and a "Bee Sweet Tree House" playset with a honey scented Bee Zelf.

OMZ that unicorn Zelf... I'm going to start an unicorn-related collection with my unidragon!
The moose one is cute too, but I'd prefer it with another color... it reminds me of Lumpy from the Happy Tree Friends... and I don't want to remember that cartoon.
There is also one with a white, black and pink colour theme (I think is the moth one) I like annnd I'll have to check the yellow one if it's the ducky (Ducks are my favourite animals! maybe I'll buy those two and pretend the Moth is a swan XD)
I also like Cottontail, because her artwork reminds me of my bunny character with that happy smiling face.
Hey, there is a glow-in-the-dark Lochlan! (but that wouldn't make her a 'secret'  :lookround: )
Oh, and I wish that Bubblegum Zelf had been pink and blue and not only pink... I would totally buy her if so.
Definitely I'll get my first Zelfs from Wave 3 - but I don't know when they will release those at Spain  :shrug: Meanwhile, I'll squee at those new Zelfs  :P

I've seen in my local TRU medium Zelfs for 11,99 euros and big ones for 19,99 euros.  Do you think it's a fair price? How much does Zelfs costs at your countries?

And also, would it be a good idea to customize a Flamy into a Tressa? I know their molds and colours aren't the same, but I'm afraid the Venus Flytrap Spin Salon won't come here

I don't collect the Large size because I don't like the shape of the head sculpt, but it was cute seeing them. Lady B is pearly, Lochlan glows in the dark! Dorothy Doe is glittery! ^.^

Sadly they didn't get any new Mediums, so I couldn't work on my collection. :( Sigh. Oh well there's always next Wednesday.

I've only seen one Dorothy so far and her stomach paint was horribly smudged so I passed. :( Hoping next Wednesday they will put out a new box. <3

DaintyDalek, that prototype looks awesome! I wonder if they're really planning a blue/red character or if they were just experimenting with color combos?

Edit: Just checked taobao.com and it definitely looks like that is the Large size Zelf. I assume it's just a prototype since it doesn't have any markings on it yet. The seller also has, interestingly enough, a Large L'il D for sale with no pearly finish on the head, though the body does have the normal pearly coating.

Ohhhh my gosh!! Did you guys see this new ballerina zelf on eBay??

 Seller says she's a large size.. she's GORGEOUS!! I hope she's being released with Series 3!!

 Dragonflitter: I saw the Lil' D prototype! I thought it was really neat! But the blue one called to me, haha :) I dubbed it Miney-Mo the bluecap zelf. I also snagged a few of the fakies that were up on Taobao a couple months ago; their hair isn't as soft and there's glue visible on the eyes, but they're kinda cool. One of them looks like he could be Flamy's brother.

Post by: Dragonflitter on May 31, 2014, 12:08:41 PM
All three of the newbies are definitely Large size, you can tell by the head shape (the Large Zelfs have a much rounder face with bigger cheeks). We have yet to see any Large characters who aren't also available as Mediums, so I'm hoping this is not a trend Moose Inc. intends to start, so we will see their Medium equivalent soon. :) I'm thinking these must be Series 3 characters.

OMG I would kill for that dragon! Why do I get the feeling it's going to be a HTF release??? :(

The Large aren't as popular as the Medium size and don't show up as often, but I wouldn't consider any of them HTF. Plus with their price they tend to stick around forever. My TRU still has a bunch of the Series 1 Large Zelfs and just got a wave of Series 2 Larges. :)

Post by: Rainsong on May 31, 2014, 12:44:38 PM
I never realized that one case of these guys is only about 6 Zelfs in the medium sizes.

My mom and I requested one out of the back, as our TRU (the ONLY place we can find them locally) had very limited stock in the very small island they're on. Then my mom proceeded to buy 1/2 the case ROFLMAO

I like the new ones. I hate that I'll miss out on them :(
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: Dragonflitter on May 31, 2014, 04:29:08 PM
Rainsong - As of right now,  in the USA they are exclusive to TRU except for Amazon.com. So it's not just you, that's the only place anyone can find them. ;)

Series 1 had 12 Zelfs to a case but for Series 2 they changed to have the cases half-sized. You're lucky your TRU is willing to go out back for you, every time I ask my TRU they always quickly say there's nothing out back, without even checking. :P Either they keep everything on the shelves all the time, or they're too lazy to actually go out back and look.

I'm not sure if it has the promo; I remember that they don't appear in the front and Zelfs aren't very popular here yet - at least I'll buy a magazine from my childhood  :biggrin:

@Waterline - Yes Clover is in all the leaflets and advertising (of course she is, they want to promote their 'rare' character and get people looking for Zelfs!). In the UK she was available via a mail order in a Zelf themed magazine. In the USA and some other countries, she was randomly distributed to stores, but they aren't seen very often.

@DaintyDalek - This is the first I'm hearing of an Australian exclusive set! I'll look around and see what I can find. If I find it available, I'll let you guys know. :)

@Wardah - Yay for Series 3! They are super cute :)

Unfortunately just because she's not available in a country doesn't mean they won't stick her on advertising. :\ It's unfair, but it's cheaper and easier for them if they just make one poster image to advertise and then stick it on all their products rather than specialize packaging per country.

I have some Series 1 Zelf boxes that have stickers with English writing covering the box. I assume that is because under the stickers is probably the same writing but in another language. I bet this means they use the same packaging for all countries, just change the words. So that could be why Clover appears on the box but hasn't been seen in Spain yet.



@DaintyDalek and LuckyLeaf - where did you see this info about the Australian exclusive? I just checked all the Australian websites that sell Zelfs and didn't come up with any exclusives, and I didn't see anything about it on the Zelf facebook page either.

Ajjj shame  :mad:
Zelfs aren't very popular here. They are expensive, shelves only have one of each wave 1 Zelf and the webisodes are on a cartoon channel's website. That isn't a very good marketing idea because many parents don't visit this website. To add more insult to the injury, Vampula says a swear word (a strong one).
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: Dragonflitter on June 05, 2014, 10:20:13 AM
Whoa! That's shocking, about Vampula! Maybe you should write a note to Moose Inc to let them know! I'm sure it was a mistake when they translated the webisode for a different language and they probably didn't realize it was an inappropriate word to use.

OH. MY. WHAT HAVE I DONE???

In the cartoon TV channel website where the Zelfs webisodes are there was a contest about drawing an original and funny hairdo to a Zelf base. I did it resembling a kiddie drawing and submitted it. Now there's a mail telling me that I'VE WON THE CONTEST and asking for my direction to send me the prize (a lot of wave 1 zelfs)

I've won a contest MEANT FOR KIDS! I feel so bad, but it's funny because I tricked the TV channel! Now what I'm going to do with the package? If my mom finds out that I've won a bunch of toys.... she's not going to be very happy  :freak: :drunk: :yikes:
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: Dragonflitter on June 06, 2014, 06:52:36 AM
Oh dear! Well it is cool that you won! Congratulations on that, even if it is an event meant for kids! ^_^

I think you have two options at this point. If you would like the toys, I would just say thank you and accept them. Unless there was an age limit posted in the rules, you shouldn't feel bad about winning just because you're older. After all, there's a lot of adults here on the Arena who collect toys that are "meant for children!" lol

But if you feel guilty and you want the toys to go to a kid, you could always just send them a message and thank them for picking your entry but explain your age and tell them that you just entered for fun, and that you would like your prize to go to the second place winner so that the toys have an age-appropriate home.

It's all up to you, Waterline! Whether you keep them or ask them to be given to a kid, I don't think either of them is the "wrong" thing to do. Just what you feel works best for your situation. ^_^ And congrats again on winning!

Yes, unfortunately, several collectors have emailed Moose to ask if these will be sold in other countries, but each response has confirmed that the Butterfly Friends Forever set will be sold only in Australia. A rep from Moose even told one person they don't think it would sell well in the USA (or, presumably, elsewhere). :( I think Zelfs in general could actually be a big seller in the USA, if other retailers besides TRU stocked them! It's so frustrating.

http://www.thezelfs.ca/rubis-contest.html

You have to send 10 UPCs by mail.
Mediums & Larges are worth 1, while a playset is worth 2.

Only open to Canadians though.

Thing is, I keep my Zelfs in the boxes.

Though they agreed to make a one-time special agreement with me that upon proof, they will send me Jewely without the UPCs.

They really insisted on the "ONE-TIME ONLY" though. Haha.

Zelfs are still 12 euros in Spain's TRU, but now they come with a mini zelf... is the offer worth it?

I saw the same thing in a Canadian store.

TRU sell them 6,99$ ;

While those particular stores sell them 8,99$, but they give you a mini with it.

I was thinking about using the mini Zelfs in some of my terrariums I am making to sell about town. But, I can't find them in my area. :(

I went to my local shopping center today and Toysrus was packed with Zelfs! They had tones of the new playset with the bee zelf that is honey scented.

Target also had 4 sets of the Butterfly Friends Forever Set so I picked up two.

If anyone would like a Butterfly Friends Forever Set I have two for sale at $20 each (which is what they cost me) and I am happy to debox them to lower shipping costs! - both are gone now thanks, but if anyone else would like one I can go back and try to get more

I hope it's ok to post this here but did you guys know there is a new Zelfs forum?
http://love-yourzelf.freeforums.net/

I just joined yesterday. I hope you all will check it out and help it become active. :)

You guys should all come ! :D

Thought I'd add some photos of the Butterfly Friends set. There was no pamphlet in with them only a comb and some hair bands.

Aw thankyou! It's the least I can do. I just wish postage wasn't as expensive as it is!

I'm very thankful to members here who've got me US exclusives in the past. Nobody should have to pay the high prices on ebay just to get what they want!

 Seller says she's a large size.. she's GORGEOUS!! I hope she's being released with Series 3!!

 Dragonflitter: I saw the Lil' D prototype! I thought it was really neat! But the blue one called to me, haha :) I dubbed it Miney-Mo the bluecap zelf. I also snagged a few of the fakies that were up on Taobao a couple months ago; their hair isn't as soft and there's glue visible on the eyes, but they're kinda cool. One of them looks like he could be Flamy's brother.
Oh, my I love her. I'm personally a dancer, so I can't wait!!!!!!

It is very sad and frustrating that they are TRU exclusive in the USA! >.< Here's hoping they gain in popularity and start showing up other places.

(I've also, strangely, found them at a bookstore chain called Books-a-Million in the childrens section. Not sure if you have any of those near you, but you could check there.)

I'm really looking forward to series 3; and I hope there are people here who manage to get hold of Snowphie, our ultra rare one this time round. I'd love to get hold of her myself, but UK seems to have only a send-away option for them, and if you're not quick... Le sigh. Ah, well, do hope people manage to get her and take lovely pictures!

The two I'm really wanting are medium Dorothy Doe and Kitsu.    I really, really want Dorothy Doe though. She's super cute. I have a feeling she won't be showing up at either TRU near me anymore, though.

I am naughty. I went and bought three more last night. I am officiallly addicted. They are not only fun and colorful, but super affordable too.

Jewely!!!!

I'm so excited! I never thought I'd get her!

Also for those looking to buy/trade, there is a buy/trade forum that has members in various places across the globe on the Zelf forum. We've got people listing what's available in their area to help others get the ones they want/need :)

Apparently there is some hope for TRU possibly restocking soon, once they finish doing inventory.

I'm out of town and found Sealia, Float, Dolly, Ty Foon, and Dorothy Doe at a TRU we passed by. Is series 3 going to be released in waves like S2 was? I'm trying to figure out which ones are likely to be in stores now. Geez, I am so excited about all the unique colors and themes these things come in!

Does anyone else have Dolly? Mines wings are softer than any of my other Zelfs, and they feel almost sticky.

I found Dolly and that was the only new zelf I found. I think they got cleaned out after last Wednesday's shipment because I couldn't get to TRU until Friday las week. But I'm ready for this Wednesday's shipment!

I had also found Dandy and Webina in S3 packaging but don't consider them to be new finds.

Found Lullaby, Float, and Catsby so far MIP, only kept Dolly for myself. Still looking to trade for Sealia, Manny, and Ty Foon.

I'm hoping I can find some of the new ones when I go to TRU Saturday. I want Float, Sealia, Bubblee, Frostette and Chocolaa. Are the scented ones out yet, though, or is it just the normal ones that are being found at TRU?

We saw a few of the new ones this weekend. And a Snowphie! I also had my $5 reward money so she was a buck!
But now I don't know if I should open her. The fuzziness!

So I stopped at a different TRU today and found more new Zelfs! I got Webina, Catsby, Lady B, and Dandy Lion from the 2nd wave; I was excited to see them because my area never got the second half of wave 2. I also got Lullaby and SNOWPHIE! So excited yay!!

Has anyone seen Manny or Billy in stores yet? It seems like no one has found them yet, or Cupie, Pandela,  Chi, Petal, or Sugar Bunny. Maybe they're coming in another wave? I haven't heard of anyone finding the scented ones either. Not sure about the large sized Zelfs-- I know I haven't seen them, at least. Does anyone know yet if the large-sized Zelfs like the dragon and the ballerina have been spotted in the medium size? I love some of those designs but I don't like the bigger zelfs!

Post by: Wardah on July 16, 2014, 06:28:50 AM
Someone found Manny but nobody has found Pandela. Which makes sense since each wave is usually six not counting the special one or the themed waves like Masquerade and Zelicious.

No luck today, and apparently my Tru change their shipments instead of Wednesday and Friday it's now Tuesday and Friday. And this really nice lady who works there said if they get any Friday she would put them on hold for me :)
What a sweetheart!

No luck finding new S3s, but I cant complain because I found Snowphie today. It was so exciting finally finding something rare in the wild! That never happens to me- I never find Funko Glitters, or rare anything in my stores. She was tucked behind a Webina and the whole time I felt like I was robbing the store because it felt so weird to have her and have no one around me care XD

WOW congrats Mocha!!

I had such a disappointing hunt yesterday. First of all my TRU has moved the Zelfs WAAY in the back of the store, near the infant formula aisle. o.0 I'm not sure if it's a permanent move of not. Second, they had NO new Zelfs at all. The display is empty except for what has been there for months: a couple Tressa playsets and a few Large Series 1 and Series 2. I haven't had a single Medium Zelf at my TRU for going on four weeks now. Sigh.

Post by: Sora on July 18, 2014, 11:00:41 AM
I've found all the currently released Zelfs. Pandela and the others, I think, are from a different wave.

As a random observation, Manny seems to be the most limited - I've seen 3-4 of all the others, but only 2 of Manny.

Post by: Wardah on July 18, 2014, 12:20:27 PM
My TRU had a bunch of new Zelfs but no Snowphie. I decided to get rereleased Catsby since I didn't have it yet and I think the Series 2 rereleases are going to be gone when the second half of Series 3 starts appearing.

Omg what a day! Went to my Tru and the nice lady put a couple on hold for me. No snowphie but I did get dolly, and she offered to call the other Tru close to me before I drove out there. She said they got a shipment so I decided to go check it out. Almost got into a crash on the way there with my son in the car! Some lady decided to come into my going straight lane because she no longer wanted to turn in her turn left only lane. Luckily no one was in the lane next to me so I had room to move over and no one got hurt. So with my heart racing I finally made it to the other Tru and I found a snowphie! I was so excited and glad I finally found a limited zelf. But as awesome as that was the even bigger highlight of my day was my son to his first actual steps!

Thank you Mocha! It was really an amazing day! I still can't believe I found snowphie, I hope everyone else who wants her can find her. And yes I'm calling snowphie a girl even though on the card it says him. Sorry moose but snowphie is not a boy name. At least in my opinion  ;)

I can't believe how many US stores are getting season three Zelfs when the second half of S2 is only just starting to hit shelves over here! I hope Snowphie isn't too limited in number and runs out by the time his wave starts getting distributed, I need him for my cat collection. :lol: Just picked up Catsby and the BFF pack yesterday, so Dandy-Lion, Catsby and Butterluv are together waiting patiently on the shelf for him.

I checked two semi-local TRU's this weekend and nothing!  One had a ton of old stock, mostly series 1, and the other only had large sized Zelfs.  Surely that store will get some in soon, but it's pretty far away.  I only drive out there about once a month, if that.  And we never saw the second half of series 2 here either.  Bleh!

Weellllll today is Wednesday, when the single TRU in my half of Maine gets new shipments... I'm going to stop by after work today. *crosses fingers* I'm trying not to get my hopes up. There haven't had any new Medium Zelfs for the past four Wednesdays. :(

Congrats to everyone who found Snophie so far! It's so, so exciting to hear how many people are finding her. When the fever of Clover first started, I was very sad to see on the Zelfs Facebook page how many parents were angry and upset at Moose that they couldn't easily find Clover for their kids (not understanding the point of a company having a 'chase figure'!). I think they took those complaints to heart and made Snowphie more easy to find.

I'm hoping I can find Snowphie on my own too. She's so cute. But I'd be happy with any new Zelfs at all!

I called the TRU in Chesterfield, MO and they said they had two cases of the medium Zelfs in stock today. I drove the good 45 minute drive there to see NOTHING new on the shelves. I wanted to cry. I talked to an employee and he checked in the back for me, and behold! They had some new ones. Not what I was expecting, but I brought these guys home with me.

I'm really liking the cupcake and chocolate one. They had the two other Zelicioius Zelfs but I left them behind. I didn't really want them since they were reissues. I know Vampelina is too, but I think this version of her is quite pretty and she smells good. :)


They had two boxes, one was Zelicious and the other were the larger ones, not medium. So they guy on the phone wasn't totally correct. But I left happy and it was worth the haul there. :)

The other two Zelicious Zelfs are on the shelf. I can't remember their names. But what I got of these characters were all they had.

I called Sunset Hills and they didn't have any I needed. I was VERY shocked we got the Zelicious ones already. I didn't expect them for a while.

Sorry I beat you to the punch on these. :(  I wish they had more stock so you could get some too.

Okay, I am REALLY out of the loop. The best news we got is that Wave 1 is on a crazy clearance discount! So hopefully we're going to see wave 2 soon?

I swear the Zelfs are forcing me to buy the limited editions. Clover is my favourite plant, I'm obsessed with the four leaved ones. Rubies remind me of my late grandmother, her birthstone and her favourite gem is the ruby. White tigers are my favourite animal. STOP IT MOOSE!

Yay, checked my TRU today and they got a shipment of the new large Zelfs and the Zelicious ones. It looks like they only got one of each? I got Deeno, Noodles, and Miss Tutu. They're my first large Zelfs. I like the mediums better, but I'm afraid these characters might not be released in the medium size. These aren't too bad though-- maybe they fixed what I didn't like about the head mold on the series 1 large Zelfs? Or maybe I'm just used to them lol.

I also got Chocolaa, Frostette, an Bubblee. They are...definitely interesting. Almost got Zelicious spellinda but decided these were enough for one day! Frostette smells like faint coffee and plastic. She's cute, I love her sprinkle freckles and her different colored eyes. BUT her frosting tufts on her head look like bushy old man eyebrows! There's a movie character she reminds me of but I'm blanking on who it is.

Bubblee smells the best, but she looks kind of freaky. I think it's a combo of the semi-transparent plastic, the haunted yellow eyes, and the blistery-looking bubbles on her head. Poor thing!

Chocolaa is my favorite as far as looks go. I think it's that adorable open mouth and wavy ears! BUT she kind of stinks. Don't get me wrong, I love chocolate, but that...that's not chocolate 8( I hope they tend to keep their scents to themselves. Altogether though they are very cute and I'm pleased with all 6 of today's purchases :) These things are so addicting it's getting out of hand!

I finally had luck during my Zelf hunting!! :D YAY! The Maine TRU store put out the Series 3 Medium Zelfs! Whoot!

I think there is 6 per box, right? If so, one full box was put out because I saw 6 Medium Zelfs on the shelf. There was a Sealie, Dolly, Dandy-Lion, Lullaby, and 2 Floats.

I bought Sealie and Dolly but I left the others. I already have Dandy-Lion from Series 2 and the others had bad paint jobs. Yes, both Floats had smudged belly symbols. >.< And the Lullaby had speckled symbol like some of the paint didn't stick well. So I passed on them. Hopefully I won't regret that later!

I only have 3 Zelfs and the bigger one is still in box... however I have two of the blind bag ones and I don't know if any of them are hard to find... shoot I don't even have the sheets for them any more XD I wanted to replace the hair on the minis

Dragonflitter I glad you were finally able to get some new zelfs!!!!

Went to my Tru today and found a deeno, my first large zelf. I wasn't going to collect the big ones but it doesn't look like moose is going to make the series 3 supers in the medium size, and I love deeno, Marsha, and noodles. And I decided to drive to the Tru farther from me then the other 2. Wasn't sure that I wanted to since it's so far but I always seem to have luck there so I figured it was worth the trip since I haven't made the trip in months. I'm so glad I did! I finally found a masquerade vampula and flamy with nice paint jobs and I got an elfa and spellinda :)

Thinking about checking with my local TRU today since they get shipments. I haven't found any series 3 medium Zelfs yet besides Zelicious. I just need to save money for my vacation in a week. Sigh. I am impatient LOL

I've literally just joined MLPArena and I'm so excited to find a Zelf thread here.
I've been collecting since the first wave and I apsolutly adore them.

I've just got my hands on the BFF set this week. I had to get someone from a Zelf group who lives in Australia to ship it to me. A few days later I found they are coming to England anyway. They are going o be exclusive to Smyths Toyshop

I'm currently on the look out for Snowphie,  but there is no sign of him in the UK yet.

I'm not holding my breath for the BFF set to appear in the US but at least shipping from the UK is a bit more reasonable than from Australia.

I figured as much too, that's why I thought I'd mention it.   ^.^

Annoyingly though they it actually was cheaper for me two buy 2 sets and have them posted from Australia to me then it would have been to send a friend into Smyths toys and do the same. There are no toyshops near where I live.

My Zelf haul of the day :) My TRU finally got in the medium zelfs I really wanted :) I haven't been collecting as of late but going to try and get in the swing of things. Going to find a nice way to organize and display them too.
Do you guys usually unbox your zelfs or keep them sealed or a bit of both?
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.

Congrats on getting Kitsu! I've been looking for her. If you find a second one, I have a trade thread and could trade some ponies (or some extra Zelfs that I have!)

Congratulations on finding the ones you wanted! It is such a good feeling!  :lol:

For the most part I unbox my Zelfs and display them (on my zelfshelf no less!) but I keep any doubles in their boxes and hang them on the wall. I've also decided not to unbox the Masquerade ones at all.

My local MD TRU has been L-A-M-E with nothing beyond the masquerade stuff... I have my son's B-day coming up so an excuse to go back and see

Series 3 has struck Australia! :cheer:

The "Cutprice Kidshop" store at my local shopping centre had all six S3 mediums as well as most of the recarded S2 - I saw Dandy-Lion, Catsby and Lady B but I confess my focus was mostly on the new guys. No Snowphie in sight, but I picked up Dolly and Manny for my collection. They also had the super size Dandy-Lion and Lady B, but they were on the top of the shelves and I couldn't reach to see if there were any others.

Tomorrow morning I'll be traipsing all over town to check all the usual stores and see if they've restocked. I feared that S3 would be a way off because Big W put out a new case of S1s a few weeks ago and most other stores were only just getting the second half of S2 in stock, but looks like we're getting the newest releases too. :heart:

Edit: The results are in!

Spoiler
Woolworths supermarket: scant remains of S1 mediums and S1 supers. Lil D, Spellinda and Mermalade seem to be unpopular.

Coles supermarket: First half of S2 mediums, S3 tinys in eggs.

"The Toy Place": First half of S2 mediums, S2 supers (Lochlan, Dorothy, etc)

TRU: First half of S2 mediums, S2 tinys in pots. S2 supers aplenty (Lochlan, Dorothy, etc) but stacked in front of them, new cases of S2-S3 supers! Dandy-Lion, Webina, Owlmanda, Noodles and Deeno!

Target: S3 aplenty! They had what looked like 24 mediums on shelf - two each of the S3s and two each of the recarded S2s. They also had six S2-S3 supers - two each of Webina and Owlmanda, one Dandy-Lion and one Noodles.

Thanks for posting that! I went to my local stores after reading your post and bought some S3 Zelfs.

I noticed that on the packaging for the Zelicious Zelfs that Snowphie can be won. Apparently you need to buy three zelicious zelfs and enter in the barcodes online for a chance to win.

According to the AU website you can also find her in store? So do we have two different chances to get her?

I haven't seen any Zelicious (except Beetrice's Treehouse) here yet, so I wouldn't have a clue. :blink: Did you find the Zelicious in store, or order them online? I was under the impression that the UK had competitions to send in barcodes and then they would be sent a rare Zelf in return.

To be honest I'm not fond of "a chance to win" style competitions, but then I've never been able to find Clover/Jewely in stores either, so perhaps more options will be better for us Aussie collectors.

I was lucky enough to get the Zelicious Zelfs I wanted but I am not gonna get series 3 for a long time. :(  I was in a car wreck and simply cannot afford to buy myself anything right at the moment. I am afraid I'll miss out entirely on series 3. Life sucks, but at least I am fortunate in the respect that I wasn't hurt. But congrats to everyone who found the medium Zelfs you need. Hopefully I can get my hands on them eventually.

One email exchange later, it looks like we Aussie fans have two ways to get Snowphie! He will be randomly packed into shipments as well as sent out through the Zelicious competition.

I also asked about the other rare Zelfs and whether they had all been distributed yet. Looks like they're still calling her "Ruby" even though I addressed her as Jewely in my email... So is it Ruby the Diamond Zelf or Jewely the Ruby Zelf? We may never know :dizzy:

Question, does Target not sell Zelfs in the US anymore? Im trying to find out where all sells zelfs nowadays... :/ I feel like its just TRU now, going to another location today to look for kitsu and the zelicious!

Here is my collection so far! Its only series 1 and a masquerade Spelinda. I was brave and decided to bebox all of the except Clover and sort them by color.

I love them so much!! There were also some Large Zells. Unhappily they cost a lot , that's why i just bought 2, they each cost: 15,95€ !!!

unhappily it seems they will not appear in France :cry: :cry: just in spain, greece, italy and turkey as written on the box.

At the store near me they were moved to one of those racks that are on the end of an aisle last week but they were moved to next to the Flutterbye Fairy and MiWorld stuff this week. Maybe it's just a temporary spot while they are rearranging things.

I grabbed the last series 3 and Ty's box was so destroyed i got 15% off! :) Bubblee does smell like bubblegum, mostly her hair, but its like a super-chemical smell like a spray-on. I LOVE her pearly body! She reminds me of jewely!! Noodles is officially my favorite zelf!

I had no idea they had a game trade-in for store credit! I might need to look into that! Hey, looks like we got the same assortment sent to our store! Lady B is the last one in that assortment.

Is Manny kind of rare? I've heard people saying he was. I got the last one and feel lucky. He's actually such a very pretty color.

I am hoping to find Float and Sealia eventually as well. Maybe next payday I'll take another trip to TRU.

I have heard that too, about Manny being rare, yet I sometimes see him. I think Float, Sealia, Pandela, Webina, and Cupie are rare. I havnt seen any of them! I REALLY want to find Sealia!

Hmm.... and Im still missing Snowphie :D

Does anyone here have Chocolaa? I wonder if he stinks or smells like chocolate... I really want her and im curious.  I know Frostee will smell good!

I heard he doesn't smell so great though.

Manny is really adorable! ^_^ I haven't found him at all (or ANY Medium sized Zelfs in my local TRU....) but someone from the UK found him and offered to mail him to me. Too bad I had to pay such a huge shipping cost, but at least I will have him as soon as he arrives! :D

I'm not getting and more Zelfs for the moment as I heard that the only way to get Snowphie in the UK is via a special CD found in packaging from October. I did find Manny a couple of weeks back though, I grabbed him because he seems quite hard to find. Sadly he was the only one there.

Kitsu seems to be a slightly hard-to-find one. I'm still looking for him myself. You can check ebay or put up a 'want to buy' post in the Zelf forum. :)

Yeah, but only the first series and I'm not sure if they're doing very well. They seem to be phasing them out in stores, but I don't know if it's to make room for wave 2 or if they will stop selling them...

Good news, everyone! :cheer: Today on my regular toy hunt I popped into Coles. Webina, Owlmanda and Lullaby were hanging out on the peg, acting all cool... and knocked down, lying on the shelf below them, was a very special card with a metallic border and a sweet little furry face waiting within!

I still almost can't believe that I found him! :heart: A lot more pictures below the cut!

Spoiler

The bio on the back of his card struck me as a little odd, and sure enough, it's different to the one The Zelfs AU website. Over there it reads 'A rarity amongst Zardenia with mighty stripes of white, his magnificence stays in the shadows of night'.

The feline family gathered around as soon as we came home. 'Decard him! Decard him!' they cried. 'Release our oldest brother!' Who am I to refuse?

Quite a few of the carded Zelfs I've gotten have had really weak glue, especially on the right side. Some were hardly attached at all, and Snowphie was one of them :biggrin: by very carefully running my fingernail under the edge, the bubble peeled off with hardly any damage to the card itself.

The metallic card that shines rainbow colours is a nice touch. My Snowphie is #1823, the back of the little charm didn't show up in the photo but it's the same number.

Snowphie comes with a special page in the bag with his pamphlet and hair bands, detailing how to take care of his flocking. I love this little detail, as they are toys made for little kids, teaching them how to take good care of delicate items is great.

Here he is all freed from packaging. Sooo fuzzy! His hair also feels different from regular Zelf hair. It's very soft, fluffy, and light too. It doesn't droop down with gravity like my other Zelfs hair does, it stays straight up in the air despite later brushing it sideways and downwards to give him a proper mane. You can see in the last photo in this post, it's very sticky uppy.

I just adore his markings. Instead of plain straight stripes like Catsby, he has filigree designs with three love hearts on his forehead and a big one on his back.

He has a furry tail tip, with molded bumps and grooves.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Gorgeous light blue eyes, and a unique little molded neck ruff unlike any other Zelf in my collection. The small ruffs on either side of his face matches it nicely. It's difficult to photograph because it's so small and unpainted, it blends in to the flocking.

AND three wee little pink dots to simulate paw pads on each hand! I can't believe the amount of detail put into this one little guy, it's incredible!!! :heart:

Finally, I release him in to the wilds of his family that have waited so long for him to come home. All we need now is for S3 wave two to be released, then we can pick up their father Talon. :)

Post by: Calico_Star on October 26, 2014, 09:37:32 PM
Does anyone else have Petal yet? I thought I got a defective one, because the majority of her hair was short (the purple) and the strands of other colors were the regular length. But I was at TRU again today and they had another Petal in stock, and her hair was the same way. Are they all supposed to be like that...?
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: PrincessTiffy on October 26, 2014, 09:57:06 PM
I found some of the new ones today!!! Happy dance, but I only had enough for two since I had to get diapers and snacks for my little one. I got Chi and Petal, I adore both of them!

And yes Calico Star, Petal is suppose to have her hair like that. The purple is short and the pink and green are long. Not sure why they decided to do her hair like that, but I like it :) I do think it varies a little though. The pink and green on mine are normal length, but I did see a Petal last time I was there who's pink and green were almost as short as the purple which is why I passed on her the first time.

Post by: Calico_Star on October 27, 2014, 12:49:21 PM
Good to know! Maybe it's a pixie cut since she's a pixie-looking Zelf? Confusing though, since her box art shows her with long hair!

I've kinda slowed down on/stopped collecting Zelfs (I've cut my collection down to just 9 of my favorites) but I neeeed Petal. She's so cool looking! I hope I can find one.

I've just started getting into these ^^ for Canadians out there collecting them, Canadian Tire stores have in a selection of Super Zelfs for Christmas around $14.99. I've found Dandy Lion, Lady B, Webina, Catsby, Owlmanda and Dorothy Doe there (I may have seen Lochlan as well but I can't remember). Does anyone know where else in Canada other than Superstore and TRU that these are sold at? I'm mainly after the Super Zelfs, specifically Marsha, Deeno, Noodle, Talon, Coco from wave 3 and Spellinda, Vampula and Mermalade from wave 1.

Not sure if any Canadians are interested, but the Butterfly Friends Forever set as well as the Zelf Greenhouse are now up on the TRU Canada website. They're not available to order, but perhaps this is a sign they'll be in stores soon?

When I want to TRU the other day only two medium Zelfs were left. The place was a madhouse. I doubt I'll find Sealia or Float until after Christmas, if ever. :/

I'm pretty sure there were 2 of one of these guys at my TRU. I'll check when I go by today.

Still looking for Pandela.  TRU doesn't seem to have her yet.  Nobody seems to be buying what's on the shelf.  So no new stock coming in.

S3 Wave 2 Mediums and Supers are hitting Melbourne! My local Toys R Us had the best selection as well as a sale going on for all Zelfs, I picked up Marsha, Talon, Petal and Cottontail all at once. :heart: TRU is the only place I've seen the second wave of Supers. I've seen S3W2 mediums at Big W, Target, Coles and Toy World. Targets all over seem to be getting in stacks of the Butterfly Friends Forever pack, probably because of Christmas stocking up. Myer, Coles and Woolworths both seem to still be getting in S3W1 and the recarded S2s in numbers as well.

I also have two (!!! I can't believe I've found three so far!) Snowphies for trade/sale. One is mint on his card, I'd like to trade for either Miss Clover or Jewely. The other unfortunately was put through the wringer somewhere on the way to the shelf. I found him with a very bent and creased card, bubble half hanging off and the little pamphlet packet with his paw shaped card missing. :( I've since fully decarded but left him in the bubble with his comb and charm, and flattened out his backcard a little bit. So if anyone is interested in either of them please feel free to send me a PM, I'm happy to provide photographs and feedback.

I traded some to some friends as favours, but the rest I'm going to try to make the money back that I spent on them (and hopefully a little more to help recover from the holidays ^^; )

Post by: PrincessTiffy on January 02, 2015, 09:00:22 AM
That's really weird. Here in Southern California my closest Tru was packet with zelfs for Christmas time, I mean packed. They had 3 rows of the scented ones, a ton of the large like usual, but then like 6 rows of the mediums when they normally have 2 if that. I even found another snowphie. And I was just there last week and they put out the new larges and finally got a Marsha.
Maybe it's just your location? And they haven't been doing well there? Mine for a long time wasn't getting anything new and when they did it was just one set of the 6 or 8 that come in a box and it would be picked over by the time I got there. Then one day they just started getting a shipment like once a week and then this big boom for the holiday time.

Sorry to hear everyone's been having such bad luck finding new Zelfs :( there is a series 4 on the way, maybe it's just a drought before the new series is released?

Series 5 Zelfs! Jewel themed mediums and supers! A new Deluxe (so maybe Design Your Zelf size?) will have fibre optic light-up hair and movable wings! And someone who looks cherry blossom/angel themed, with a colour scheme similar to Miss Tutu.

^ I feel the same! Too many zelfs being made, and they are currently only being sold in Toys R Us at the moment. Stupid Walmart and Book a Million stopped carrying them!!! Spring resets are coming up in february at Walmart *sigh sigh siiiigh* How AMAZING would it be if my work started carrying them again and I stocked them? -_- Im dreaming. I saw Petal and Cupid today but I wanted to buy ponies LOL hopefully next week they will have more and I can buy them all!

Post Merge: January 08, 2015, 11:47:26 PM

Has anyone in the US found them at Wal-Mart? I really wish they'd start selling Zelfs again!

Not since this time last year in 2014, back then they were on clearance for $3!!!!!  I remember because I got my first new car from a dealership and I wanted to drive it to the Custer walmart waaaay out in Mckinney where I found all these zelfs!!! I just got my car last february. I pray to the Toy Gods and Celestia that I want  WalFART to sell them again.

S4 Supers leaked out already! All of them are gorgeous, in particular I'm loving the frost hare and the goat(?) with tinsel. He's got cute turned down ears.

Upon rereading the little news article, it states that crystal Zelfs will be "new to the second half". So I guess Z4 wave 1 will have its own theme, and then Z4 wave 2 will be a set of six crystals? I wonder which line the new Rare will belong to? Exciting prospects, I can't wait over a month, I wanna see now!!! :biggrin:

Omi zelf!!!! I don't normally like the large, one because of their size and I think the mediums are way cuter. But I finally caved with the last wave and bought deeno, Marsha, and noodles. Love their designs, bumped up the cute factor in my opinion. And now it looks like I'll be adding more larges, darn you moose I want all of them!

Thank you so much for sharing!

I am still debating on whether or not to sell my collection. I'd put it as one whole lot on eBay. I'm torn. :(  Sellers regret is the worst. I've already decided to part with some of my manga collection. I am not sure about Zelfs. I'm wanting to reach 1,000 ponies this year and it's an expensive goal. I am sure the lot of Zelfs I have would sell for quite a bit.

I have decided I simply can't part with my Zelfs yet. I am just immensely frustrated they are only at TRU. The two TRUs nearest me are an hour away each, and I can never get there to check for any Zelfs. I have anxiety about driving really far away by myself and no one ever wants to go with me.  I wish Target or Wal-Mart would start carrying them.

She is the coolest Zelf I've seen so far and a major want for me. Hate living so far away from the nearest Toys R Us. :(

Also love that they named one Oceana! I'll be getting her for sure, mainly because she shares my pony persona's name. :D

It's a long shot, but if anyone comes across a spare Cleocat they don't want... Let me know? I absolutely love Egyptian themed toys, and black is my favorite color when it comes to Zelfs! I've totally fallen in love with her. Unfortunately you can't find the Super Rares in stores over here :(

Post by: prancingstag on January 17, 2015, 01:18:43 PM
I think Cleocat, Oceana, Stardust and Galaxia are very cute. Sketalia, Doma(?), Cyril, Flare and Flittabell look nice as well, but I'll have to see their actual figures to make a proper decision. I wonder why we're seeing seven regular mediums plus the rare? Did somebody oopsie and release both W1 and W2 at the same time? Or is it on a 7/5 split this time?

Cleocat is so lovely in sapphires and gold, I just want to put her right into the arms of my Cleo De Nile doll! Though this makes me wonder how they'll do a rare for an entire series 5 of crystals. We had Clover green, ruby red, monochrome, and now sapphire blue... What's next, solid gold? Platinum Zelf? :P

I have a question. Is the brown Zelf with the one lop ear out. Wasn't it supposed to look like a Chihuahua? I really want that one but I am not sure if I would have luck finding him in stores. i don't even know his name. :P

His name is "Chi" and he should be out with the rest of S3 wave 2. If you have Cupie, Petal, Sugar Bunny, Pandela and Billy floating around your local stores, you should have him.

Omg, so many new Zelfs and they're all so amazing! I'm torn between total excitement because omg these are awesome, and stress because I haven't found all of the last wave yet! Around here, it seems like you get one shot with the Zelfs-- you'll see the new wave at TRU once, but that'll be it, so you better grab all the ones you want right then, and hope they have the full set on the shelves!

I especially like that Tiki zelf, he's pretty cool. And that sea dragon has such an awesome face! Really though there aren't any that I don't love. Cleocat is amazing. I'll be joining the list of people that need her! I lost my beloved black cat back in October. One of the pictures I have of her is from Halloween the year before, when I dressed her up in a Pharaoh costume. She looked quite a  bit like Cleocat! So Cleocat is special to me because of that....I really hope I can find one! >.<

Well I caved and bought Chi and Billy on eBay, as they were the ones from this wave that I wanted the most. I am thinking about Sugar Bunny too...

News for Canadians: I got an email from Imports Dragon about a defective (scentless) Zelicious Zelf I bought. They told me they won't be getting any more of the wave I bought mine from (series 3) but they said they would be getting NEW Zelicious Zelfs on the 17th of February (they're sending me one as a replacement!!). So we may be seeing series 4 sooner than later! I'm so excited :D

Well, after finding out on my tax return that I'm getting $1300 back, I went to eBay and treated myself to Float, Sugar Bunny, and Cupid.

Can you still find Cupie in the US? I don't have any stores near me that sell Zelfs but was hoping to have a friend look for me in neck of the woods. Thanks for any help

 Californian's check your ToysRus!!! I decided to give it a shot and found some of the new ones!!! I found sketalia, Roberta, the galaxy one, sorry don't have them in front of me at the moment and my brain is lacking on her name. Then went to the other store that's close and found Polly roger, and the cow one. There should of been another new one but I guess someone else beat me to them. Since there was 3 new ones and 3 repeats at the first store, hope it wasn't Cleocat!

Sketalia, the galaxy one and Polly came home with me :)

I have a spare Cupie cloverofmist, she's decarded with all of her stuff. I found one I liked better last week. There's nothing wrong with her she has a nice paint job and hair, I'm just really picky. If your interested let me know :)

 :)  I found Pandela yesterday in a TRU that was further away from my house.  I was so excited to find her in the store I felt like jumping up and down .  I finally finished my collection of series 3 minus snowphi of course!  She was just sitting there I could not believe it!  I know you guys will understand my excitement  nobody in my house understands!
Title: Re: Zelfs! Ohmygosh they're way too cute.
Post by: DazzleKitty on February 01, 2015, 12:14:28 PM
Pandela is a great find! Congrats!


On the Zelfs group on Facebook, I noticed many in the midwest, particularly Illinois, are finding the new Zelicious Zelfs and the new large ones. None of the four TRU's near me (I now have four instead of two because I am branching out further in my searches like a crazy lady, lol) have them in. I don't normally collect the big Zelfs but I MUST MUST MUST have Baabara and High Tail. I am in love with these two.
And the Zelicious version of Mermalade is gorgeous. I want all the new Zelicious though, but I want her most. It's just irritating how my TRU's seem to be last in everything. And since they are far away, I can't just up and go there. It is gotta be a planned trip. I'll probably order most on eBay at inflated prices like I always do.

I got Zelicious Bubblee and she looks a little weird to me. I took a pic of her with her stand so you can see it isn't just the lighting.

Post by: Calico_Star on February 02, 2015, 08:22:04 AM
Wardah, are you referring to the weird shade of her body? I found that my Bubblee discolored very quickly. It's especially noticeable on the little bubbles on her head. I just chalked it up to the type of plastic they used.


I went out Zelf hunting yesterday and finally had success! Found a bunch of the new Zelfs (sadly no Cleocat though...) There were a few Cupies and Chis also. I know some members were still looking for them. It looks like those two and Petal and Billy are part of this "new" wave. It looks like the butterfly, the phoenix, the squirrel, and the sea dragon will be part of wave 2 for this set-- I think they were the only ones on the brochure aside from Cleocat that I didn't find. I still haven't had any luck finding Manny, Pandela, or even Owlmanda yet though! :drunk:

Photobucket doesn't want to upload my photo right now, but I came home with

Baabara, High Tail, and Marsha large size Zelfs, plus Laylani, Rainglow, and Cheeky Tiki, who all smell much better than the first wave of scented Zelfs. It seems like their scents fade even more quickly. For the standard medium Zelfs, I got Smoothie, Billy, the skelleton, Polly Roger, Cindy-Moo, Galexia and Roberta.

They're all really great. Tiki is probably my favorite, but the skelleton looks really really neat also with her little beady eyes shining in her black eye sockets. Rainglow is nicely detailed, with different colors on the front and backs of his wings and tail and gradients on his arms. I'm glad that Moose is so far keeping up where Hasbro crashed and burned!

I am desperately searching for Cleocat for myself!! She is my favorite Zelf yet. The Toys R Us closest to me (50 miles) claims they won't be carrying anymore.

Someone helped me find one for my best friend (who is in the middle of a nasty break up with her boyfriend of 9 years), who is a hardcore Zelf collector. She really needed the pick-me-up. Now I just need one for myself! If anyone can find one, I'd VERY much appreciate it! I'd be happy to pay a finders fee, too!

Someone on a Zelfs group raided my local TRU and bought all the new Zelfs they have. I am happy for her, but who knows when they will get a  new shipment in. I have been calling this TRU for weeks and the one time I don't call I screw myself over. I'm going through a hard time right now anyways and I just want to cry. I know I am being a baby but this just isn't the time for bad news.

DazzleKitty who are you looking for? I went today hoping to find a Cleo since she's popping up in the states but no luck. They did get a new shipment of mediums in though. They had galaxia, Cindy moo, and Polly roger. I bought smoothie for myself. They had some if the scented ones left and I think hightail and Sheldon

I'd be happy to go back for you, let me know :)

Well things turned better for me. I went to a TRU that never has Zelfs and boy did I hit the jackpot. They FINALLY restocked. I got all the new scented Zelfs, Baabara, Sheldon, and the best part? I found a Cleocat on the shelf! I couldn't believe it! I've never found a rare Zelf before. I'm so happy. :D

Where are you guys buying your Zelfs?? I can't seem to find them any where anymore after the first wave.  I mean aside from TRU. (which isn't practical for me to visit) and there aren't very many on ebay that I've seen (lol checked ebay again and now there is like a ton). I currently have 2 pencil toppers, I think I want to continue collecting some (pearl versions).

TRU is the only store in the US the sells Zelfs. Sadly, for the new waves, the mini Zelfs like you have won't be sold here but only in the UK (and maybe some other countries). Apparently the small Zelfs didn't do so well here.

The problem wasn't that they weren't selling. When they were in TRU they sold faster than the LPS blind bags and they still carry those. I'm thinking the problem was they were more expensive to carry than the other blind bags of similar size because of their plastic pots/mushrooms.  Since the profit margin was so small they decided it just wasn't worth carrying them. However I have heard that they might be making ones in actual pouches and that those might end up in the US.

I really dislike buying them from ebay. They are almost always from Europe and that means they go by European costs. And unfortunately in Europe a single Lil Zelf costs the same as a Medium Zelf in the US. I would be happy to trade a Medium Zelf or a pony for 2 of them but nobody seems to want to do it.

... I just paid a little to much for a wave 4 Pearly Manny Moose mushroom (mostly cause of shipping) cause I couldn't wait. I also got this little guy (is he Billy Ducky Zelf?) I feel kind of silly buying one I didn't know the name to, but his pose was just too cute. I think he is either clapping or the finger tapping the Mr. Burns does when he said 'excellent'

My TRU has Wave 4 finally! They didn't have the ones I wanted, like Galexia or any of the scented ones (still.. I'm pretty sure they'll never get those) but I did buy Deeno the Dinosaur and I found a CLEOCAT!! That was a surreal moment. I got excited and knocked down a whole bunch of them and a nice man stopped to help me pick them up. :D

If anyone in Canada is looking for Jewely, this may be worth a look: http://www.thezelfs.ca/free-ruby-zelf.html (http://www.thezelfs.ca/free-ruby-zelf.html)

I found it on the Zelfs Canada facebook page. Basically, if you buy 10 medium zelf, large zelf or zelf playset (count as 2 items) and you send in the codes on the boxes, they will mail you Jewely. The codes have to be the actual, physical codes cut right off the toys boxes, no photocopies or anything.

I'm not sure how fast this will go and they don't say how many of her they have. I just discovered these a few weeks ago and will finally be going to see if they are at the local TRU this weekend. This may be helpful or a total pass, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to share. :)

Post by: prancingstag on March 27, 2015, 03:15:49 AM
S4 mediums are hitting my local stores. It's been kind of disappointing because the first wave seems to be five that I'm not interested in buying - Cindy, Polly, Galexia, Roberta and Smoothie. Often with multiple Robertas on shelf. They're at Target and Big W, and today for the first time I saw them at TRU. In amongst the pink and purple rabble, I found a royal jewel! Cleocat is now hangin out as the fifth member of the feline family. :P I'm really liking how the Rares seem to be a tiny bit more common now than Clover and Jewely were... perhaps that's in reaction to the multitudes of complaints from family members whose child wants the special Zelf.

I've also seen the Supers at Toy World and now Target. The first wave seems to be Baabera, Sheldon and Hightail. I picked up a Baabera, I just love her droopy ears and gold tinsel.

It would be great if the Targets around here started carrying them.  Our "local" TRU closed recently so the closest one is now about an hour away!  Congrats on Cleocat!  I haven't told my daughter about her yet since we probably won't find one.

Thats how I found clover, at TRU i dont stand a chance in this healvily populated metroplex having only 2 toys r us's nearby.

Im going to TRU to look for some goodies for my swap partner. I will peek at the zelfs but i know there wont be anything good in stock....

Walmart quoted a price too low for Moose to make any profit and refused to budge. Idk why Target didn't tho but it could be they are leery of anything troll-like after being swamped with Trollz that didn't end up selling.

I got Cindy-Moo from Amazon, she arrived today. The local TRU closed a few years ago, so it's online for me, I guess. I want so many of these things :lol: I don't even know how many there are. I had to do an eenie-meenie to pick one out of the half dozen or so I found on Amazon that weren't crazy expensive.

Are the majority of you guys keeping them MIP?

I finally just broke down and bought a Cleocat off of Ebay.  I figure at least this time of year it's cheaper than it will be around Christmas.  My daughter wanted a Jewely last year and they got way too expensive by that time.  Thinking ahead this year, lol.

Has anyone seen the squirrel zelf yet in stores?  I love squirrels so I think I'll have to get that one for myself.  =)

Ok, everyone who found the new ones need to post pics! :P I still haven't seen the second half of the newest wave except in the illustrations on the pamphlet. Nothing new in my area. We did get the first half of the new wave but no second wave yet. I'm desperately searching for Cleocat, (just like everyone else) but no luck so far :(  With her little pharaoh getup, she reminds me so much of my dear little black cat who I lost back in October, who I'd dress up as a pharaoh for Halloween...but because that one has sentimental significance, that means it'll probably be harder to find :P

I did finally find Pandela the other day though, so I guess that's my consolation prize for now.

Picked up my first Zelf while at Toys R Us over the weekend.  I was tempted to buy a few more, but I was trying to be a good girl. :P

I got Galaxia!  I'm hoping to get Stardust at some point.  I tried to avoid these, but they're just too cute!

 A friend of mine just gave Moose a call, and it's looking like TRU may pass on carrying Season 5 in the US.. I'm going to contact TRU and ask about it tomorrow, because I really don't want them to disappear here.

There is a huge push for people to call Toys R US corporate and make it clear we want them to continue to stock Zelfs.

Here where I'm at in Oregon, we've seen 3 or so shipments of Mediums S4, 1-2 of the Supers, and nothing else (except the Zelicious. Oh my goodness, we're drowning... Zelicious and Billy...)

It's painful. I finished my S3 collection, but it's starting to look like I'd never get the S2's or S4's and beyond... and that's just depressing.

I can understand why TRU wouldn't want to continue selling them. They've been shelf-warmers a lot due to the bad distributions, poor placement (yes, TRU, burying them on a back wall is terrific), and playset/greenhouse sales being really poor. But let's hope we can fix this!!

I just bought my 2nd Zelf today. She is a large Mermalade. ^-^

My first one I got last August. She is a medium Garny and she has a spider charm thing. ^^

Does anyone know if I can still get a Dorthy Doe? I know she was out around like I think Thanksgiving time.

Also, that promo for a Ruby Zelf, was it just in Europe, or can people in the US get it too? IS the promo still going on?

Also, does anyone here own Jewely the Ruby Zelf?

I think there was a canadian promo too, but none in the US that I know of. You just had to be lucky and find her on the shelves or win her in other competitions. I think you can also find her in the collector tins too.

I have her, though. I got her through the promo and I love her :)

Yeah, I read up on it. Ugh. Sad part is I saw her at my old tru. I didn't get her because I didn't have the money with me. I wish I had known then she was so rare. x.x I would of used my credit card and got it. xD

I've been going crazy trying to find a Ruby or Clover, they're just always so darn expensive  >_<

I even have a spare Snowphie that I would love to trade for either. Her bubble however is completely off of her card (although she has never been taken out). I know a lot of people prefer their zelfs out of box so it would be perfect for that or I'm sure you could also glue it back on since has come off completely clean ^.^

Wardah, Princess Crystella might not show up at TRU anymore in the U.S.!

I saw a bunch of this cutie today at the local toy store, admittedly I wanted to take one with me XD she is so pretty!
I have a few zelfs and I'm trying not to get hooked! I have so many of the mystery miniature zelfs and the lion one, and the unicorn one (lots of pink and yellow). The lion cutie is so sweet to me, I love wings and he's a Leo like me! You never find Leo stuff around here!
I also spotted a gryphon self and a winged unicorn self among others in the stores here if anyone would like me to pick any up for you :) also princess crystella is on a small sale in the shops :) I'm more than happy to help anyone out! No one really bothers with the zelfs around here and there's a lot left around.

Hi Truly,

Thank you for offering pickup! I might be interested in the winged unicorn, her name is hightail. If she has a pretty nice paint job and how much do you think shipping her deboxed to the US would be?

Thanks
Tiffany :)

And I found some series 5's! I got the Frankenzelf and Swanda a couple days ago. And we had to go up north today about a 45 min/1 hour drive depending on traffic to pay my fiancés motorcycle ticket since it was given out up north we couldn't pay it here. So stupid, but since we were up there i got to go to a toysrus I've never been to before and found some more series 5's :) I got batrina and daisy may. And I wish I saw this when I was up there cuz they had a Ooma I could of picked up for you Dazzlekitty :(

I am seriously thinking about giving up on collecting these and just selling all of mine. I live so far away from TRU and buying them on eBay is ridiculous because people charge three or four times the price of a Zelf in stores. I prefer to only buy ponies online, not Zelfs when I should be able to find them in stores. I know from a Zelf group I am in that there is a collector in my area and apparently she has more free time than me. She goes around buying up all the Zelfs for her collection and then buys duplicates to help others online out. Which is very nice of her, but extremely frustrating for me since I live an hour away and with my work schedule, I cannot get there in the morning and have first pick on TRU's shipment days. The new wave just appeared in my area and she said she beat me to the punch and bought them all up. I want to scream in frustration.

Well I waved the flag in surrender and ended up buying some Zelfs I needed from this person who is snatching them all up in my area. I now feel kinda bad for whining about her. Not only did she sell them to me for store prices and ship them quickly, she sent me candy and a card too. So now I feel like a butt.

I bought these from her. I am in love with Stardust!

And I also got some more! My brother is awesome. It was his day off and I had to work. TRU got a shipment of new Zelfs in. He went to the store for me and got me what they had in stock that I needed. The pic isn't great because he took it on his phone, but here they are. I get to pick them up from him tonight!

Just throwing it out there, but I manged to find a Pearleen at my local TRU last week and I'd love to trade her for Cleocat if anyone's interested. She's still MOC, and I'm looking for an equal trade. I wouldn't mind if Cleocat's MOC or loose - just as long as she's in good condition and has her charm and certificate.

I adore Pearleen and certainly wouldn't be upset keeping her, but I've been coveting that cat ever since she was released and I don't think I'm ever going to find her at this rate.

I don't collect zelfs anymore, but I did want Flare really badly so I finally stopped by TRU.

They had 2 Flares, I took one.
They had Stardust, Koolah, Rose-Anne, Talleen, Ooma, Flittabell, Royal-P, Sneak-a-Boo, and Candy Lou as well as some older ones if anyone needs them

I really do want Pearleen though mostly because she reminds me of the mermaid toys I had growing up in the 90s. She really captures the 90s somehow, not sure what it is.

I also really want SnowAnne- does anyone have her in their area?

They're more like... artwork coloured Zelfs? I believe Hightail has a white face/boots on his box art, but the toy is painted pink. And for Sheldon, I think his art shows the crown as orange, but the released toy is painted purple.

It's driving me a little batty seeing all these collector pics of Z5, we're still stuck on the first half of Z4. I just want to see something new that's less overwhelmingly pink.

Here's a random question....is there a yellow Zelf with turquoise hair?

There's Sheldon, a large-sized Zelf from Series 4:

Finley was also just released in Series 5 as one of the mediums, with turquoise and purple hair:

OMG, how hard are they to find???  I'd love to have at least one of them perched up with my Bubbles army.

Aww, they'd look adorable next to Bubbles.  :inlove:

Finley was just released. I haven't seen him in person yet, but he should be shipping out with the newer characters. Toys R' Us has a listing up for him and you can set up an email notification for when he comes back in stock: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=58397846&cp=&parentPage=search

I'm not too sure about Sheldon, as I've been out of the loop for awhile and I haven't spotted him at my local store lately. He may still be commonplace elsewhere, so hopefully someone else can chime in. :)

Thanks, Mandy!

I'll have to keep a look out next time I'm at TRU or anywhere else.  Though, I live in a toy wasteland, so the odds of me finding anything are slim, hahaha.  Maybe I can convince someone else to find it and send it to me XD

I found a Flamy in a a free stuff box at a yard sale last weekend.  I got him because I know people here collect them and I could maybe trade him.  But he's just too cute!  I'm going to have to keep him for myself.  If I had more space and more money I would totally go buy a bunch of Zelfs.

Congrats DazzleKitty! :) Joy Drop is adorable, I just love her design and colors. I think she and Finley are the only Zelfs out of Wave 5 (other than the Crystals) that I've yet to see in person.

I picked up Batrina last week as well, and I think she's my new favorite.  ^.^

Awww, great photo! I'm starting to regret not picking up Lullaby when he was still common here - he looks so cute next to Moonicorn. I hope the Crystals start popping up in my neck of the woods soon, the designs on these are lovely.

(excuse all of the stray hairs on Cleocat, I'm terrible at getting tinsel hair to stay put.. Are they using different hair on the newer ones or something? I've noticed that Wizzkas' hair keeps its 'shape' *much* better than the other two.)

I'm thinking about selling the majority of my Zelfs. Only going to keep favorites and rares.

Anyone looking for anything in particular? I'm thinking the majority of these I'll sell for $10 shipped within the US. The more hard to find ones will be more (Lochlan, Kitsu, the bee). I still have the backcards to most (if not all), combs, charms/hair accessories... and I have tons of brochures that I'll have to sort through and figure out which goes with what.

I have (in no particular order);

Garny
Ooma
Owlmanda
Candy-Lou
Stardust
Cyril
Cindy Moo
Dandy-Lion
Lady B
Petal
Pandela
Lochlan
Kitsu
Ty Foon
Float
Flitter
Chocolaa
Frostette
Sneak-A-Boo
Royal-P
Zebbie
Talleen
Dolly
Honey scented Bee Zelf (still sealed in plastic, no playset)

You have Vampula and Flamy, both series 1, loose without charms or combs I'd guess about $5-8 a piece

I keep on going back and forth on thinking about selling my Zelfs. It's just not fun to collect them anymore now that my TRU seems to have stopped selling them (and even when they do sell them, they are always out of stock). I am very torn on whether or not I should sell them. Sellers remorse is a horrible thing. I don't want to do it unless I am very sure.

I know how you feeling... it is annoying that the sales department runs so slowly. And the prices on ebay are sometimes  :pout:...
But they are in Germany (besides TRU) now available in "Rossmann" (a drugstore).  :frolic:

Post by: Wardah on October 14, 2015, 01:21:05 PM
This really saddens me. I liked Zelfs because they were around the same price as a pony. It was great that I could just get them once in a while if I had some extra money but if they need to be imported I would need to get a huge chunk at once to offset the shipping costs and that still does nothing about them costing more. Ugh.

Also I really liked how they sold the Limited Edition ones in stores and that they were the limited ones was visible. I have never been lucky enough to find a Limited Edition Shopkin and for all I know I might have been looking right at a pack that contains one because the dratted things are hidden.

Iv'e been admiring Zelfs from afar, but never took the plunge (I was waiting for a sale which never came).

The Walmart near my house had a Jewelley, a Snophie and two Cleocats!  :blink: Aren't they supposed to be  different waves AND rare? I was so tempted by Cleocat and Snowphie to add to my black and white cat shelf, but the $10 price tag put me off. It was neat to actually see them in person though, they looked really nice (especially Cleocat).

Haha, yes, I knew they were the LEs, I'm just baffled that I found four of them at once especially when they are all from different waves. I'm not much into reselling personally. I wouldn't mind picking them up for retail/transport (to Walmart and back)/PP fees/shipping/packaging, but I wouldn't be able to ship until I'm back in Banff, and I think after adding it all up, it would cost close $50.  >_<

10.00 is good  for them lol if i saw a snophie for 10.00 i'd snathc it up.  i've seen them go for   close to 75 100.00 each .

USA pony/zelf fans!

One of the facebook groups for Zelf collectors is starting an online petition to try to get the attention of Toys R' Us to convince them to sell Zelfs again in the USA. I know it's a long shot, but if you all could take a moment to sign the petition, it would help our chances of getting their attention. :)

What about one for Target? I honestly think they would do great at Target if they gave them a chance.

I really like all the mediums and if they were still in stores I'd get them all but since they aren't I'll have to narrow them down.

I was hoping my rash of Pearleens would have helped but it seems everyone who wanted Pearleen in the UK sent away for her. So now I dunno what I'm going to do because my plan of trading my Pearleens for them doesn't seem likely now.

They're around here in pretty much most retailers that carry Zelfs - Big W, TRU, Coles, Woolworths. There are six mediums in the Crystal Gemz line (Angelala, Moona, Starkle, Moonicorn, Sugar Bunny, So-anne) and one super deluxe sized (Princess Crystella). Do you have a trade list anywhere? :)

Series 6 ahoy! Found at Big W, I like the "dreams" theme but too bad I'm not keen on any of the new supers. Seeing Zelfs wearing clothes is a little... odd... it's the same reason I never liked the 80s troll dolls, that flesh tone always made them look nude. Previously Polly Roger was an outlier, but now the animalistic and fae creatures are looking kinda nudie rudie on the shelf next to these new humanised characters! :lol:

Post by: Dragonflitter on February 18, 2016, 06:37:38 AM
I completely agree! Though I only have one or two of the Super sized ones anyway, since they take up too much room. I think the idea of Zelfs that inspire kids to 'follow their dreams' is absolutely cute, but I don't know if it really fits the Zelf world. It's been established that these are pixie-like and animal-like creatures that are tiny and live in a garden. Some of them now wearing clothes is a tad weird.

They could have done a few other things to keep the 'dreams' idea but still keep the Zelfs...zelf-like. lol.

1.) Instead of full outfits, just give them some fun accessories for each 'dream.' Like a stethescope/chef hat/hair berrettes/neck handkerchief/etc. That would still get the point across without it seeming like they are wearing a full outfit.

2.) Keep all the 'dream' Zelfs animal-like instead of human-like. I don't think it's quite as weird to see a mouse in a vet outfit as it is to see a purple-skinnned human-like Zelf in a popstar outfit, for example. (Plus it would be so cute! A little mouse vet, a raccoon chef, a dalmation fire fighter, etc.!)

I like the mouse one! The fact that it has a partial outfit actually makes sense because it's more of a uniform, but overall in agreement that I really don't like this turn at all. They look awkward and chunky to me. Honestly, I'm kind of glad I don't like them since I won't be craving them from the states.  ;)

It's just the Supers that look like that. The Mediums still look like they always do.

New tiny pots and mediums found in Coles supermarket. They had 2 x Rein-Doe, and one each of Fairy-Bloom, Pretty-Kit, Angel-Hop and Moon-Flight. I picked up Rein-Doe, Angel-Hop and Moon-Flight but I was hard pressed to leave behind the other two... all the mediums this series seem to be particularly gorgeous! The Supers are part of the Crystal Wishes and their theme is "dream job", but the mediums seem to have their own line themed around a new garden (Zelftopia) and day/night cycles.

Tinies, Fairy-Bloom and Pretty-Kit

It's kind of hard to photograph with my super cool shaky cam hands, but Angel has these awesome leg molds where it's bowed in at the front and has a high 'heel' at the back, like a real animal's anatomy.

Her wings have a lovely kind of tendril design all over. She's got a crescent moon and a star in the upper corner of each wing, and in the center at her back, a crescent moon with a sphere in the center, like an eclipse.

Oh no, I really like a lot of these...  :lol:

I really appreciate the way this line uses such unique molds, even when creating a different coloration of the same animal. I can't remember many toy lines bothering to do that. The almond eyes are a really nice touch, I think.

OK I so have to thank prancingstag for snagging me the gemz line :-)

and... as I have been successful in negotiating  with my girls to help in downsizing the toy pile a bit as we don't need two of every zelf (with so many new ones coming) that I now have almost 80 of the mediums loose but basically have been on a shelf that I will be happy to offer up for sale or trade

so this is a ping that I will be updating / creating a sales thread

most are loose, I do have some of the newer (series 3,4) that are MIB and I have a MIB  3-set butterfly friends (stateside)

Has anyone else in the UK found them yet? I've been looking out for a while but this is the first I've seen of them in the wild. (I've heard Smyths Toys has at least some of them, but I haven't been able to go over there yet, lol)
