February 22, 2015June 3, 2015 - brandy3 50 Comments

**SHOPKINS SEASON 3 HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN RELEASED. Toys R Us has them, and Walmart and Target will follow soon.

Is everyone in on the Shopkins craze yet?

My kids have been in on the craze for a few months now and I can’t tell you how hard they are to find.

I was able to visit Moose Toys at Toy Fair 2015 and got to see what is new with Shopkins At Toy Fair.

Shopkins goodies you can get now are Season 2 5 packs, 12 packs and blind baskets. Plus season 1 if you can still find them.

They introduced 1 new play set with season 2 the fridge, which has been very hard to find. Some friends actually found it at Toys R Us a few days ago.

They also have a new board game and puzzle, I found at Toys R Us.

Now onto Shokins At Toy Fair!

They didn’t want to much revealed as everything is going to be more of a surprise. There are pictures floating around the internet though of some new possible characters.
But I can tell you Shopkins Season 3 will start being released in June 2015.

They will have 3 new exciting play sets for season 3.
One being a Ice Cream Truck complete with accessories

They will also be branching out and making backpacks, purses, lunch boxes, pencil cases and more just in time for back to school.

Not exactly sure when these will be released but i know a few people have found the plush Shopkins in store already.

Happy Hunting!

Meet Hello Barbie and More From Toy Fair #Barbie #NYTF

February 17, 2015February 19, 2015 - brandy3 2 Comments

Disclosure: No compensation was received.

Mattel is releasing a whole line of Barbie, revolving around girl power.

Meet Hello Barbie:

Hello Barbie uses a speech recognition platform, to have a two way conversation.

Hello Barbie requires wi-fi connection and can be used for a hour before needing to be charged. Rechargeable batteries are put in the dolls legs and can mount to her charger.

This doll sounds like so much fun. I did ask: If a child says a curse word or something inappropriate, how will the doll respond? She said that the doll would respond with Lets not talk about that right now, or thats not nice. Parents can set up the software to avoid certain conversations. If you don’t want your child talking about relationships or boys for example. You can put that in your parent controls and Hello Barbie will avoid that conversation.

Look how cool Hello Barbie is.

Hello Barbie doesn’t have a official release date yet, but will retail for around $75.

Mattel is also releasing a lot of other cool Barbie dolls and toys.

New Fashionistas:

The new fashionista dolls:

New fashionista dolls are fashionable of course, but they have expanded to include different skin tones as well as hair colors and more. Girls have been asking for a bigger variety of dolls and now you are getting it.

These dolls are available now and retail for $9.99

New Dreamhouse and Camper:
Barbie will be living and traveling in style.

Barbie’s dreamhouse is back and has a better design.

For the first time in her Dreamhouse, Barbie will have a garage that opens and closes to fit her dream car. They have also updated the elevator so it is easier to use. You just pull a small lever up or down. Barbie’s dream house will come complete with all the furniture including interchangeable pieces. A end table can be switched with just a few pieces to become the bathroom sink or the kitchen stove. It will save space in the Dreamhouse.

Barbie’s Dreamhouse will be available in June 2015 for $199.99

Barbie’s camper is much like her Dreamhouse. From the outside it looks like a ordinary camper, but can pull out to be a 3 story house.

Camer includes a bathroom for Barbie, a pool with waterslide, a fire pit with sticks and marshmallows to add to the fun of camping.

This play set will be from the upcoming movie Barbie and Her Sisters in the Great Puppy Adventure. Available June 2015 for $99.99

Career of the year: Film Director

After spending years in front of the camera, Barbie is finally calling the shots. Plus so simple doing it with jeans, a pink top and flats.

Holiday: Shopkins Are A Holiday Hit #HGG14

December 16, 2014 - brandy3

Product was received, all opinions are my own.

Shopkins are the super cute, fun, small characters that live in a BIG shopping world! Shopkins Are A Holiday hit for 2014, and my kids want to collect them all.

We received a Shopkins Mall Play Set to try out for the holidays. My kids have been collecting Shopkins for weeks so adding the play set just overjoyed them. You can put the Shopkins through a actual checkout and bag them.

The ply set even comes with a small shopping cart, it’s my sons favorite item in the pay set. He puts all his Shopkins in it and pushes them around.

I am learning all about the world of Shopkins and that all the Shopkins come in categories, common, rare, ultra rare etc. So my kids are on the hunt for the ones that are hard to find.

Moose Toys has just started releasing Season 2 of the Shopkins series, so now we are on the hunt for those that include all new characters.
