Girls Rock!
Most of us grew up watching heroes save the day in comic series, television shows, and movies. These days, YouTube is making a splash in the entertainment segment. But, what if the story doesn't have to end when the show does or what if the script could be changed so that an old foe is now switching sides to help the heroes? The possibilities are endless for creative play with these mini figurines that kids can bring into their homes or wherever they go. Choose several characters derived from the hit YouTube series "Space POP". All figurines are carefully crafted to resemble the original characters. But, unlike the originals, these characters easily fit in a backpack or purse. Kids can mix-and-match or collect the whole set of their favorites heroes that will administer crushing defeats to all their foes!
Mini Fans
Every hero story needs a citizen to rescue and cheering section of fans. For action figures in need of fans or for children who like their pretend adventures to mimic everyday situations where they practice empathy and work through social challenges, the Best Furry Friends (BFF) collection might be a perfect choice. BFF's are three super cute friends, each of whom come with their very own pet plus accessories like a fashion bag and rolling luggage capsule. Children can select from Angelina, Cassandra or Zoe for friends, though they may purchase a whopping total of over 50 pets! These would be ideal toys for behavior rewards or animal lovers. Limited edition items include the rose gold Husky and glitter pink jelly belt bag.
Fancy Minis
Sometimes, the story calls for playing dress-up and wearing tiaras. Fancier storylines often involve a princess or two. This is why every store needs to line the royalty shelf with Disney Doorables. With Disney Doorable playsets and characters, an entire stackable Disney world can be built in the middle of the family room or bedroom. Portability is not a problem either as these princesses are just the right size for a pocket, Ziplock bag, or mini purse.
