I've had quite a negative view on surprise toys lately, but the quality of some of the ones you've been reviewing have been a pleasant surprise (lol). I think it's very interesting how, with surprise toys, it's not just the toy itself that is bought, but also the feeling of opening it and finding a surprise. Last year I drove seven hours from Maine in my tiny Prius packed full with all of the remaining belongings from our old house, plus four stressed-out dogs and two small cats.

But changing diapers is a big part of baby play for kids, and so I agree that Gina's molded diaper comes up short!Little ones will be giddy to find out whether they've got twins or even triplets tucked inside the cuddly swaddle! Granted I used acetone which may have been too strong ( His costume is ridiculously cute, and his head mold is more versatile than Apollo's since it doesn't have the antennae and crown attachments. And Marigold wins it all by being the cheapest and the most versatile of the entire group, even though there are no surprise elements in her packaging or appearance.

It might not be fair to compare Marigold to the other surprise babies, but it's an interesting way of measuring the value of a surprise theme on the current market. Or perhaps it's just because mini babies are great little toys, either on their own as something to nurture, or as a fun new addition to a doll family. The Baby Born Surprise Mini Babies probably do the best in this department in my opinion, because I find all of the themes adorable.But for most kids, the joy of receiving a wrapped mystery gift is confined to only one or two times during the year. This product for sale is the Baby Born Surprise Mini Babies Mystery Pack Series 1 with Cot and Swaddle.

Home Retail Group Card Services Limited is registered in England (04007072) at 33 Holborn, London, United Kingdom, EC1N 2HT. The shape of this baby's mouth coupled with the surprise under his diaper reveal that this is a drink and wet doll. I was surprised and delighted to find these babies in Target just as they were, in their miniature blister packs, displaying everything clearly so that I could inspect for defects and get exactly the ones I wanted. They playsets can also be used by any of the BABY born Minis characters, so you can add to your collection and build up your own BABY born Minis world! Furthermore, I had a really hard time getting all of the water out of the baby once I'd finished testing the bottle.

I didn't expect Gina to be comparable to the Baby Born kids, especially because of the underwhelming representation of the dolls on the box. My favorites were the Baby Born and Skipper's Babysitter baby in great part because they're playscale and I'm not sure a baby doll that small can be a standalone collection or toy for very long unless it's the baby of other dolls in the toybox. It's nice to know that some of these surprise toys have thought and care put into them to make them good toys instead of just relying on the surprise factor to sell them. I don't think any of them will replace my favorite 2000s Barbie babies, but its nice to have cheaper and easier to find options.
