PinyPon Interchangeable Figures Review

PinyPon is a range of mini-dolls where their world is inhabited by independent and modern girls, who love fashion and clothes, animals and nature.  You can customise their characters and mix and match heads, bodies and accessories to create lots of different figures.  They can also change the facial expression by turning the heads around and having them smiling, winking or frowning!  The more dolls you collect the more fun styles you can create!

Worry Eaters Lilli

Is something bothering you that makes you constantly worry? Why not write your worries on a piece of paper and feed them to Worry Eater!  Together both of us can get through this!

Worry Eaters are based on Gerd Hahn’s animation, Sorgenfresser. They are brilliant for eating nightmares and acting as a ‘waste bin’ for worries of all shapes and sizes. Children simply write or draw their troubles on a piece on paper and feed them into the zip mouth of the Worry Eater. They are great cuddly companions in good times or bad, for children of all ages, parents find the award-winning plush toys ideal for keeping channels of communication open with their youngsters whilst also being a fun, vibrant plaything.

Last Sunday, we saw the launch of a new range of boys’ collectables: Fungus AmungUs – a collection of gross-out squidgy characters which were introduced to everyone at the London Toy Fair 2016.

In a secret lab deep underground, The Bio Busters have been capturing and experimenting on the world’s grossest beings – the Funguys! The Funguys are a collection of germs, spores, bacteria, moulds and more. With 7 different strains and over 100 figures to collect, you’ll need to be armed with as much information as possible if you are going to be able to find and catch them all with the ExGERMinator!
