These are cute little toys. They actually aren't as squishy as I thought they would be, but I guess that's my fault, not the company's. They come in their own little balls,which seem fairly durable. They close like a plastic Easter egg does, and can sometimes be a little tricky(to close).
It was clever of the company to mix them all up and package them seperately so you'd have to buy all the packs to get all of a certain collection as opposed to having a babies,friends,pets(etc.) pack.
These require a fair amount of imagination, as they don't "do" much(which isn't necessarily a bad thing) and the manufacturers do not have many playsets availible. The playsets they do currently have avaible are all based on the "gumball machine" concept, which is fun but something new (i.e. a playhouse, playground) would be nice.
The fact that they can be used as pencil toppers is nice and adds a new element to play.
All in all, these toys are cute and can be a lot of fun with a little imagination.

I was so worried that I wouldn't get my hands on the awesome, elusive, ever-popular Squinkies this year! It was a Zhu-Zhu pet nightmare all over again!! I finally found them and thought they were pretty cool, however, my daughter who wanted them sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much was just kinda like...."huh...cool"...oh well :( what we mothers do for our daughters :)

These are like gumball machine toys. BUT, every little one in our family loves them! They are squishy and adorable, but they are easily lost.

As I never saw these Squinkies, I'm going to have to rely on my niece's reaction. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! These are exactly what I wanted for my birthday." Enough said.....

I'm biased, because I would have LOVED these toys as a child... My daughter loves them too. Being so small, they are simply wonderful for travel. We can pack up 50 Squinkies in a very small bag and they provide a wonderful variety of play opportunities while taking up just a little space. They aren't slippery, so they stay put on an airplane tray table. I admit, they *are* quite expensive for being so small, but the play value has proven to counteract that in our family. I think they are cute and quite well made. My only complaint is that I think the company ought to rethink the color tint of the "brown people". I've made a point of purchasing sets that included "ethnic" characters, but have been disappointed in the "skin tone". My daughter doesn't care a bit, but this Mama would feel more respected if the shade was a more beautiful brown and less "greenish".

I recently purchased these for my 7 year old daughter to put in her Easter basket. She had been begging for them for quite some time. I didn't see the value in such a small little toy. The price on Amazon was the best I've seen!

These are cute collectibles. They're kind of like My Littlest Pet Shops pets- small little figures (though these are soft) that you can use by themselves or with play sets. Great for imaginative play. As an adult I don't really understand what all the fuss is about but then again I'm not the target audience. I got these for a friend's kid who has been collecting them and she was thrilled.

I got these for my 3 year old for Christmas and she absolutely loves these things. Yes they are small and can get lost easily but as long as you have a place to store them your kid will love them. Love Amazon.com!!

I had to get these for my granddaughter because it was supposed to the hottest toy for this year. She (age 5) knew exactly what they were and what to do with them. I, however, think the novelty will wear off and it will just be another toy at the bottom of the toy chest.

Item arrived in a timely manner. The price was comparable to other sites and even local stores. This product is one of the most sought-after toy this Christmas. So happy I was able to get it!
