Shopkins! Adorable Food Collectables

[shadowdreamer]

I have a thread of this on the Monster High Arena, but I wanted to  see if anyone on  the MLP Arena was also collecting\addicted\curious about theses cute little food items called Shopkins! They are made by Moose Toys (Who make zelfs, glitzi globes, and trashpacks) And they are really affordable. (Unless you are like me and blow your money on them every chance you get)  They come in several different ways. There is a big playset, 2 smaller playsets, a 12 pack (10 visible 2 mystery), a 5 pack (4 visible, 1 mystery) , and little blind baskets with 2 mystery figures. I love these and they are sooo stinking cute! They come in several different types, like frozen, fruit & Veg, Pantry, Health & Beauty, Party Foods, and so on and so forth. In the spoiler below I will have several pictures of them, and a picture with a squinky and a monster high doll to show you the size.
(Warning, Tons of pictures!...TONS!)

I saw these at work so buying some on pay day!

[Eternia]

Oh nooooo I do not need another collection....so cute! I have to buy at least one pack lol

[kaoskat]

I've seen them advertised and they look sooooo cute! But I do NOT need another collection!

[Sora]

Just going to echo everyone. I haven't seen them for sale yet, but that's a good thing since I don't need another collection

I saw them at TRU a few days ago. They are so adorable but, like everyone else  , I do not need to start another collection.

[Dainty]

They're cute but i prefer trash pack figures  SO i'm only collecting those!

[HavACrumpet452]

So they're like food-shaped squinkies? Cute but no thanks. I love the tiny shopping baskets though. I'm sure these will hit the thrift stores just as fast as the squinkies so maybe Ill get one in a toy bag with a pony, then I would keep it.

They would be great to promote a healthy diet for children, but sadly they are more focused on shopping

They are about the size of squinkies,but a bit bigger, and they are not squishy, they are more of a slightly rubbery textured plastic, so they don't squish.

Share what you get! I would love to see.

They are really cute~I would try to get them at Toys R Us if you can! They are cheaper then at Target.

I know the feeling, sometimes I wish I did not start either, They are really fun to collect.

  They are only at Toys R Us and Target, Target keeps them on endcaps, but they are really fun, but addictive.

  Understandable, my brother likes the trash packs.

That is true, I never thought of that, well, maybe if a parent used them as a teaching tool maybe?

Nothing wrong with shopping. Especially the kind of necessary shopping everyone has to do. It's kinda dull at times as an adult but I admit as a kid I was right fascinated by it when my parents took me shopping.

It seems many toys targeting girls promote the more "OMG I need those shoes!" mall crawl kind of shopping teenagers do. Not that there is anything wrong with that either but it often isn't very realistic.

Because of this thread, I just bought a pack... I'll upload pics later, but I got an egg, a toothbrush, a heart-shaped candy, a bun and the secret one was a glittery pink sugar pack ! I am SO in love with this !! I wanted this pack because of the egg, really, but I love them all !!
