What a fun new product! We purchased this set on a complete whim after seeing them in Target. My five-year-old daughter and almost four-year-old son have been playing with them nonstop ever since. The actual Squinkies by themselves are really fun. They are tiny rubber-like squishy figures, each of which come inside of their own little plastic ball. The balls open and close, so you can either play with your Squinkies while in the balls (my kids have taken to rolling them around on our hardwood floors), or take them out to play with them. The Gumball Surprize Playhouse comes with several Squinkies and serves dual purpose. You can either put the balls inside of the gumball machine and 'buy' a Squinkie with the provided plastic coins (you can also use real coins); or, open up the sides to reveal two rooms to use as a playhouse. A few pieces of furniture are included to use with the playhouse.

After seeing my children squealing with delight while playing with these, we just HAD to go back to the store and purchase some of the bubble packs. Each bubble pack contains 16 Squinkies, with a nice mix of the following varieties: Kitties, Friends (which are little girls), Ponies, Pets, Puppies, and Babies. On our way home from the store, my daughter said, "Mommy, I really like these!". She has never done that before, so I know we have a complete hit in our house. Overall, I would say that the older kids will only want the Squinkies themselves, but the younger kids will enjoy the playsets. I have an overwhelming feeling that this is going to be the next 'craze' for kids. That said... WARNING: These little Squinkies are totally ADORABLE, collectible, tradeable and outright addictive! Don't say you haven't been warned!

4.0 out of 5 stars They Don't squeak like the commercial, August 21, 2010

Oh the power of advertising. My daughter really wanted these for her birthday. And she does love them. But was a little disappointed when she was trying to get them to squeak like the commercial. They are just little plastic soft figures with a hole in the bottom. Would be a great pencil topper. I think it is still a fun little toy and she no doubt loves it, but we were under the impression that squeak noise in the commercial when they squish it was how it was going to be. My daughter is 5 and her 2 and 6 year old siblings already are saying they want squinkies for their next birthday too.
