Baby Born Surprise!

Zapf Creations has been making beautiful dolls for decades. Several months ago they brought out Baby Born Surprise and children everywhere fell in love. The dolls are unique in that they come as a blind bag. Blind bags are all the rage, after all! The dolls come swaddled in a blanket that surrounds an egg and each baby is uniquely wrapped in their very own baby blanket! They have flowers, food, animals and pretty much everything in between!

You can purchase series one here Baby Born Surprise Collectible Baby Dolls with Color Change Diaper 1-2

And Series two here Baby Born Surprise Collectible Baby Dolls with Color Change Diaper 2

The dollhouse can double as storage for your little ones collection and it includes a handle to easily take the toy with you for on-the-go fun! I did a full video with the dollhouse and dolls here if you prefer a visual of all the goodies and features!

A bit more about Baby Born Surprise!

The dolls are fully jointed so you can pose them and have them sit. They have molded hair and come with a color-changing diaper as well as eyes that are ‘sleeping’. Your little one will need to wake them up, which is part of the fun! A small amount of water and cotton ball or tissue works perfectly for wiping their sleepy eyes. One of the most fun features is the color change diaper; when dampened with very cold water, the diaper will reveal a hidden pattern!

Their baby blanket is cloth, as is their diaper. The material used for the diaper is very fast-drying, however, I do not recommend getting the blanket wet. Also, please note, once the babies eyes have been opened, they cannot go to sleep again.

I really love these little dolls because they are affordable, unique, collectible and extremely well-made! I think your child will love playing with and collecting these adorable dolls.

CAPSULE CHIX!!

Your child is going to LOVE these!

These dolls are going to be so popular! They just hit the store shelves and all I can say is wow! You can watch my unboxing video to get all the details in visual form!

So what are these?

Capsule Chix are cool dolls that come as a capsule game! Yes, that’s right, the box is like a gumball machine! Best part is, it’s completely reusable! The capsules are really good quality so your child will not easily break them after repeated openings. Think of the playability of just the box alone!

The dolls are so super cool. They come in four different varieties. I featured two in the video linked above. The accessories and doll pieces are completely interchangeable and the box boasts over 4 billion looks to create!!!! Woah!

You can order here, this link allows you to choose any of the four designs. Capsule Chix Ram Rock Collection, 4.5″ Doll with Capsule Machine Unboxing & Mix & Match Fashions & Accessories

  • Fully jointed dolls so you can pose them easily
  • So many accessories, the creations are endless
  • The box can be reused over and over for maximum playability
  • They are affordable
  • Collectible
  • They are so fun!

I definitely think these are going to be a huge hit this holiday season!

LOL Surprise Boys Series! (and everything you need to know about LOL Surprise)

Let’s here it for the boys!

MGA Entertainment has definitely won the hearts of boys and girls with the all new Boys Series of LOL Surprise Dolls. It was a small step to the brotherhood with their teasers of limited release and rare finds of the boys in previous series, so I wasn’t too surprised to see them getting their very own series. Girls, boys and collectors were begging for more boys and they listened to their audience. The boys are super hip-super cool and the perfect addition for your collection or your little ones toy box.

You can buy wave one here:

L.O.L. Surprise! Boys Series Doll with 7 Surprises

Like all other LOL Surprise Series, they come in waves, with two waves per series. I’m expecting nothing less with the boys series, although the checklist doesn’t hint at future releases yet?! Let’s hope they bring out a wave 2!

These have been on the market for a few weeks and in my area sell out almost before they hit the shelves, as did previous series of the LOL Surprise Dolls.

New to LOL Surprise? Here is everything you need to know!

Watch a video here or here or here! This will give you a visual of what LOL Surprise is all about. I have been covering LOL Surprise in-depth since Series 2 and have even got my hands on a few from Series 1 to unbox. You can find many more LOL Surprise Doll videos on my playlists.

LOL Surprise Dolls come in layers of fun. (when I first discovered these I thought the LOL meant Lots of Layers. HAHAHA)

  • Every doll will include an outfit, bottle, clue and accessory (like pacifier, earrings, headband…
  • Every doll has an ability (color changer, spit, tinkle or cry)
  • Every series is slightly different

New series may include a new version of an older style doll (ex: You may find Bon Bon in several series but she will look different).

There are lots of accessories to go with your dolls from fashion packs to a dollhouse and even the new Glamper! L.O.L. Surprise! 2-in-1 Glamper Fashion Camper with 55+ Surprises

Why I LOVE LOL Surprise!

LOL Surprise is genius! What child wouldn’t want layer upon layer of fun and excitement? That is exactly what LOL Surprise delivers. Cute little dolls that are the absolute perfect size for practically every playset and dollhouse in existence. They range from adorable to sassy and everything in between.

What I don’t like about LOL Surprise

Some of the dolls seem too risque for young children and there is so much waste with the packaging. However, LOL Surprise has teamed up with Terracycle, you can find recycling information here.

Overall, LOL Surprise toys are exceptionally well made and have won Toy of the Year Award. Love them or hate them, they are here for awhile, as kids and collectors are still combing the store shelves daily.

There are many new things coming out in the world of LOL Surprise and I’ll keep you posted throughout the holidays!
