Remember the Hatchimals hysteria of 2016? It felt like every child had their heart set on one, but actually finding one was like searching for unicorns in a haystack. Naturally, parents with deep pockets were shelling out serious cash to snag one for their little divas.
Fast forward to now, and these adorable collectibles are back on the shelves at their usual price, and Hatchimals has rolled out an exciting new trend. Riding the wave of the YouTube surprise egg phenomenon, they’ve introduced collectible eggs that house miniature Hatchimals.
The Thrill of the Hatch
These aren’t your average surprise eggs. Just like the original, you give the heart on the egg a little rub, and when it shifts from purple to pink, it’s ready to hatch—with a little nudge from your child.
The thrill lies in the mystery of what’s inside each egg, and trust me, your kid will want to collect all 70 of them. Yep, that’s 70! Much like Shopkins, these little critters come in common, rare, and ultra-rare varieties, ensuring your little one will be begging for “just one more” until the next hot toy trend rolls around.
Where to Find Them
Much like the elusive Wonka Bars, these eggs are flying off the shelves! You can pre-order on Amazon now, with the latest batch hitting stores on May 1. I’ve got to say, the unicorn and hippo designs are almost too cute to handle.
(And let’s be real, for what we’re paying for these things, they should hatch themselves and handle chores like folding laundry and scrubbing toilets. If that were the case, I’d consider taking out a second mortgage just to buy them all for myself).
