One day I was shopping at Target and stumbled into the Hello Kitty section. With two boys, I rarely get to do so, but this day I was shopping for my nieces. So, I noticed an empty section on the wall of toys. I looked to see what it could be and there was one package of Squinkies left for me to grab up. My nieces fell in love with it instantly. They wanted to collect them all - of course!
Each figurine comes in a candy dispenser plastic sphere and they are stored in a candy dispenser like the toy image above. Cute idea! They advertise them as pencil toppers for some added school fun. It looks like these might be on your schools new list of no-no's. But, if you have a kid who loves playing with cute miniatures, this is the toy to get this year. Zhu Zhu pets and Silly Bandz are on their way out and these tiny rubber mini figures are the new KID TREND!
Where can you buy them? If you're looking, ask the sales clerk at your local Target, Walmart or Toys R'Us if they can find you some in the backroom. These are already OUT of STOCK all over the internet. If you're willing to pay a little more, go to Amazon.com. Visit the official site here for a full list of collectibles.

This is much better than Lego, the figurines are so cute.
