Remember the Hatchimals craze that swept through the holiday season of 2016? Every child seemed to be on the hunt for one, yet they were as elusive as a golden ticket from a certain famous chocolate factory. Unsurprisingly, parents were shelling out hefty sums to secure these coveted toys for their little ones.
Now, however, these delightful creatures are widely available at their retail price, and the toy company has introduced a new phenomenon. Riding the wave of the YouTube surprise egg trend that’s captured the attention of kids everywhere, Hatchimals is launching collectible eggs that house miniature Hatchimals inside.
The Hatching Experience
These collectible eggs aren’t just your average surprise toys. To hatch your little creature, you gently rub the heart on the egg, and when it shifts from purple to pink, it’s time for it to break free (with a bit of assistance, of course). The thrill lies in the mystery of each package, as your child will likely want to collect all 70 different versions. Yes, you read that right—70! Similar to Shopkins, they come in common, rare, and ultra-rare varieties, ensuring your child will be eagerly asking for “just one more” for the foreseeable future (or until the next big toy trend arrives).
Availability and Designs
Much like those elusive Wonka Bars, these Hatchimals are flying off store shelves. You can pre-order them on Amazon now, with their latest release set to launch on May 1. I must confess, the unicorn and hippo designs are unbelievably adorable.
(And let’s be honest; for the price we pay for these toys, they should be hatching themselves, folding laundry, cleaning the house, and taking out the recycling—now that would be something worth investing in! If they could do that, I’d consider taking out a second mortgage just to buy them all for myself.)
