Little ones will be giddy to find out whether they’ve got twins or even triplets tucked inside the cuddly swaddle! Each swaddle comes in a fun shape – an apple, a cupcake, an ice-cream cone… Which one will yours be?

I've had quite a negative view on surprise toys lately, but the quality of some of the ones you've been reviewing have been a pleasant surprise (lol). The ball-jointed necks allow them to look all around and show off their personalities to great effect. The most successful brand play concept of Zapf Creation AG is processes constantly and is enhanced by new, lovingly designed accessories. I don't think any of them will replace my favorite 2000s Barbie babies, but its nice to have cheaper and easier to find options. In addition, all three of the accessories played a role in the packaging and are great for enhancing play.The pattern isn't super-clear (and it disappears again when the diaper is dry), but it looks like the "Lilipads" pattern, which means a September birthday. It might not be fair to compare Marigold to the other surprise babies, but it's an interesting way of measuring the value of a surprise theme on the current market. That feature was a surprise to me, but I don't think it counts as one of the official ten surprises. My favorites were the Baby Born and Skipper's Babysitter baby in great part because they're playscale and I'm not sure a baby doll that small can be a standalone collection or toy for very long unless it's the baby of other dolls in the toybox. It used to be relatively hard to find a surprise-themed toy, other than the smaller (inexpensive) blind box assortments.

Their highly-maneuverable heads are really expressive, and I like that they don't have "bottle mouth" like Apollo. Granted I used acetone which may have been too strong ( Even as an adult, I find myself walking through huge Christmas displays, wanting to unwrap all of the decorative presents just to be sure there's nothing inside. The shape of this baby's mouth coupled with the surprise under his diaper reveal that this is a drink and wet doll. I didn't really care if they matched each other--or even if they were a perfect match for their parents, but it was such a fun addition to any doll game.I was surprised and delighted to find these babies in Target just as they were, in their miniature blister packs, displaying everything clearly so that I could inspect for defects and get exactly the ones I wanted.

If Mattel had packaged the Skipper Babysitters babies in a blind box so that you didn't know which of the three characters you'd get, and then included five individually-wrapped little plastic accessories, they could have put the dolls into bigger, flashier boxes and advertised them as surprise dolls. There are little pink bows in the baby's hair, which suggests a girl, but there's no obvious gender reveal moment. More than 24 million BABY born dolls have been sold all over the world since the market launch in 1991.Careful if you do decide to repaint the skipper babies mouth, when I tried it, it made the plastic around the mouth dull, almost like a matte finish? This product for sale is the Baby Born Surprise Mini Babies Mystery Pack Series 1 with Cot and Swaddle. But changing diapers is a big part of baby play for kids, and so I agree that Gina's molded diaper comes up short! But I wanted to see what kinds of mini babies are available on the market today, so I focused on this theme during one of my Target missions.

Little ones will be giddy to find out whether they've got twins or even triplets tucked inside the cuddly swaddle! The wings look very dramatic, but their velcro attachment isn't very strong, and they tend to look floppy.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. I think it's very interesting how, with surprise toys, it's not just the toy itself that is bought, but also the feeling of opening it and finding a surprise. Both butterflies taste bad to predators, and so together they strengthen the connection between this particular pattern of orange and black and an icky taste--making predators more likely to stay away.
