Title: Aphmau MeeMeows
Post by: BlackCurtains on May 26, 2023, 07:25:31 AM
I saw these for the first time on Aliexpress and fell in love. I didn't order any from there because I couldn't find the info on how big they were. It just so happens that my WalMart has them on rollback. I got a plush and two mini figures that I thought were plush too, but they're hard plastic. I also found really big plush ones on Aliexpress. So they come in a variety of sizes.

Look how cute the boxes are!

Omg these are so cute! We sell them where I work.

I'm not usually one for blind box type toys but I loved every once of the designs, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to buy some. (Plus I get an employee discount.) And I got lucky and got most of the ones I wanted!

I like that this company made both vinyl figures and plushes, and both come in those cute little boxes. It's a little more original than just collecting plush or figures. And some of the characters overlap, and some of the characters are original to either the plush or vinyl.

In series 1 I got the dragon kitty, the mermaid, and the fairy, which were ones I wanted. I also got two donut kitties and one hamburger kitty, which I'll be reselling. The only one I didn't get from series 1 that I wanted was the unicorn kitty, but that's okay. :)

Then series 2 came out and I got the pumpkin kitty, which I wanted, and the pancake kitty, which I'll be reselling.

(BTW instead of 'series 1' they call them 'litter 1' and 'litter 2' which I think is adorable XD )

These are all vinyl. I haven't run across the plushes yet, although I've seen them online.

One negative I have of the packaging is that they don't show the designs of all the characters on the outside of the box. For a blind box series, that really annoys me, since I want to see all the options I might get before I buy. I had to google them.

I also got some doubles. I have now four plush, two macaroon and two cinnamon roll. I got doubles of pancake cat and ice cream cat.

I also got two donut kitties and one hamburger kitty, which I'll be reselling.

Hamburger kitty is one  I really want! Would you trade for one of my extra vinyl? Or I could buy it from you?

The pumpkin cat looks so much like the anime character Nyanpire!

Must have now...are there codes on the blind boxes?
Title: Re: Aphmau MeeMeows
Post by: BlackCurtains on June 04, 2023, 07:50:54 AM
I don't know if they have codes or not. I should look that up.

I bought two more of the vinyl figures and got the last ones I need for (almost) the whole set! I'm missing the chase figure which is a gold hamburger cat. I don't really care for it and I don't care about the rareness of the figures, so I'm happy with the 7. That's litter 3 done. I have to go to Aliexpress for litters 1 and 2, and they let you pick the kitty you want. It's a couple more dollars but for the convenience it's good.

I thrifted one of the vinyls yesterday, the fairy cat, she's cute. :) I was going to buy a plush at Itsugar and it was $22! I'll wait to go to Walmart.

If anyone is looking for more of these we just got the Series 1 vinyl back in at my work for $6.99 and we have some of the Series 3 plush left for $13.99. :)
Title: Re: Aphmau MeeMeows
Post by: BlackCurtains on July 05, 2023, 02:12:13 PM
Series 1 has Taco cat and Fries cat, right? Do these have codes?
Title: Re: Aphmau MeeMeows
Post by: Dragonflitter on July 05, 2023, 07:12:28 PM
I don't think so, unfortunately. :( I didn't see anything on the box that might be a code, anyway.
Title: Re: Aphmau MeeMeows
Post by: BlackCurtains on July 05, 2023, 07:38:21 PM
That's too bad. I really want those two.
Title: Re: Aphmau MeeMeows
Post by: Dragonflitter on July 06, 2023, 08:29:49 AM
Eeee I took another look at work today and they DO have codes! :D

The codes are very faint and hard to see, especially since the blind boxes are wrapped in plastic. The two codes I saw today were F17108SMDG
F17102SMDG

So it seems like maybe the middle numbers tell which characters are inside!


Edit: Just checked the plush boxes and those don't seem to have any code. :( Just the vinyl.
Title: Re: Aphmau MeeMeows
Post by: BlackCurtains on July 06, 2023, 08:55:25 AM
Oooooh! I tried to do some digging but couldn't find much.

Edit: So I did find some info on codes, but the first three letters were different in every instance, even in older litter 1 sets.

Aww! The pumpkin one is so freaking cute.
Title: Re: Aphmau MeeMeows
Post by: BlackCurtains on August 05, 2023, 04:53:02 AM
Walmart.com has a picture and description for the vinyl series 1. I bought two but they are series 2, which are these that I've shown here. So now I have a double of Cinnamon Bun cat and Pancake cat.

If anyone wants to buy or trade them, let me know.

Post by: Dragonflitter on August 06, 2023, 08:50:50 PM
I hate when websites do that. :( I definitely ran into the same thing when I was collecting the different Crystal Creatures. They would list one series but when I bought them and they came in the mail, they would be a different series.

These are adorable! I don’t have any but I can say I’ve been obsessed with the Sailor Mewn figures, so more cats!

At work today we got in a new type of MeeMeows! Now we have plush, vinyl figures and... ta da! Squishy ones!

They're probably made of that type of squishy foam, like a lot of squeeze toys these days. I'm not a fan of squishy stuff so I'll pass, but they look cute! I love the little kitty-shaped plastic capsule they come in.

omg those squishy ones are great! the bottom row with the pancakes, macaron, and strawberry cake are PRECIOUS!! My wallet is lucky that i have a hard rule against blind boxes LOL
Title: Re: Aphmau MeeMeows
Post by: BlackCurtains on August 16, 2023, 10:02:53 AM
I don't have experience with modern squishy toys. I see them all the time on Amazon, and they're always so cute. I like these, but I wish they were new cats.

Yeah, same. The food characters are cute but really my fave characters are the ones from the first set: the dragon, mermaid, fairy, etc. I'd like new characters and something different than just more food.

Ohh we got these in my store! Man I'm going to have to figure out these codes on the box... hrmm... I like the rainbow cat and the moon cat but if I only like 2 of the characters, those aren't good odds for blind boxes lol.
Title: Re: Aphmau MeeMeows
Post by: Squirtsquirt on August 29, 2023, 09:16:41 PM
They don't have codes on this set for the plush, sadly :(

Do they have them for these?
Title: Re: Aphmau MeeMeows
Post by: BlackCurtains on August 30, 2023, 07:10:01 PM
There are codes on the boxes, but I've done a lot of digging and no one seems to know how to read them.

Dragonflitter, same. I like the light blue one in the crystals and rainbow and moon, that's it. And I don't think the others are cute enough to gamble. I kind of dislike the red one, actually.
Title: Re: Aphmau MeeMeows
Post by: Dragonflitter on August 30, 2023, 07:24:23 PM
Yeah I think it's weird but for some reason this company puts codes on the vinyl boxes but not on the plush boxes.

I did a Google and YouTube search and I couldn't find anyone listing the codes, either. I don't understand why no one is posting them. That is so weird to me. Even in small collecting communities like when I was collecting Mega Construx Crystal Creatures, I easily found both Reddit posts and YouTube videos of collectors discussing all the codes for all the series. But nothing for MeeMeows! :( Boo.
Title: Re: Aphmau MeeMeows
Post by: Dragonflitter on September 13, 2023, 10:45:54 PM
I'm back with more! XD I love my job, and seeing the new toys that come in. Even though I work in a bookstore, I spend more money in the kids toy section than I do on books lol. (But I love books too!)

Anyway I tried buying a couple of the Litter 3 blind boxes and... both of them were the clear crystal-ish ones. :( I weighed them in my hand in the store and bought the ones that were slightly more heavy, thinking the crystal ones would be hollow, but nope! Should have bought the lighter ones!

Anyway, I now know why no one is putting the codes online. These boxes do have a code on the bottom, but it's the same for every one! Gah! It must be a production code. All the boxes say G103SMDG very faintly on the bottom of the box.

Anyway, I got the dark blue crystal guy and the light blue one. They're kinda cute, but I don't really like them so I'm probably going to put them up on ebay. (I might go back and try to buy a couple of the lighter boxes, hoping to get the rainbow or the sun or moon guys....)

Anyway, I have a silly thing to show off... we got Aphmau MeeMeows GIANT PLUSH!! THey're really cute! Only the Strawberry character, I don't think there are others. They are the size of a large Squishmallow, as you can see in the pics. But they are... $50.  :bolt: Not for me!

Oh! You can find giant plush on Aliexpress too! They had a giant fries cat I almost bought. I think he was $30.

I would buy the light blue guy from you if you'd like :)

Awww I wish we got the french fry guy at my store! He sounds adorable!

I bought a couple more blind boxes and got... two more crystal kittehs.  :yikes: I have no luck! I'm just going to buy the moon and rainbow ones off ebay and stop playing these dumb blind box games.

i really dont understand these, im pretty sure i remember seeing a doll as well. from someone who watched all of MyStreet it seems a little weird as to who she markets her stuff to nowadays, post-2020 stuff is all like, really weird. I got the soda cat a few years ago, but idk what to do with it since i dont really like her stuff anymore  :shrug:
they are super cute though!
Title: Re: Aphmau MeeMeows

Yes, there are dolls and playsets too. I'm not familiar with the creator. I just like the cats :lol:
Title: Re: Aphmau MeeMeows
Post by: Dragonflitter on October 02, 2023, 10:00:15 AM
I've seen pictures of the creator on the website so I figured she was some sort of influencer or something but I am the same. I don't know her, I just like collecting cute cat things. XD

My son got me started collecting them when we saw them at Walmart...then he showed me the videos and I WANT THE BEE KITTY!!  I don't think they ever made one, but the one on the show is adorable!!

I did luck out and get all the gem kitties, including the two Claire's exclusives.  That was pure dumb luck, though.  The other sets I was never able to complete and I'm so disappointed with the Halloween releases.  They sold out of the minis almost instantly and they don't have any plans to restock. The larger ones they have restocked a couple times, and it was the hope they would with the minis, since that set had some freaking adorable ones...witch, frankenstein, spider, bat...a bunch more.  I'm not spending a ton of money, though.  Claire's was bad enough at $20 a pop (although the last ones I managed to get on their recent sale, so about $13 each instead of $20).

I did splurge and get the large alien...too cute!!
