Editor's Notes
June 03, 2020:
In today’s update, we added in some exciting dolls and sets that have been introduced since we last updated our list, namely from the Happy Places line, including the popular Happy Places Rainbow Beach House. This colorful two-story home brings the Shopkins world to life through furniture with faces, as well as fun accessories and a few surprises. Included are accessories like a lounge chair, a jacuzzi, and a pink and green palm tree. The house itself stands 11 inches tall and provides two-sided play, thanks to windows that open up to reveal furniture and accessories. The Shoppies can make their way to the house in the newly added Happy Places Rainbow Beach Camper, which is packed with fun features like a dining area that transforms into a bedroom, double doors that open to reveal a shower, and a sink with a hidden toilet underneath. It’s also equipped with a refrigerator, a stove, and a microwave. Included is the character Pinkie Cola. It can be attached to the corresponding Rainbow Beach convertible, which is sold separately, or the Happy Places Royal Convertible, which we added to the list today. This set comes with the doll Tiara Sparkles and a sleek golden ride, so she can show up at the princess party in style. A total of four Shoppies can fit in the vehicle at once, and it also comes with a picnic basket and several picnic accessories. Most of the pieces conveniently can be stored in the compartment underneath the hood.
The newly added Happy Places Tippy Teapot, which is modeled after the cartoon character who’s always brewing with good ideas, and she comes with two teapot-inspired friends. You’ll also receive a stand, a collector’s guide, and some fun designer tips. For some popular dolls that were first released prior to the Happy Places line, check out Polli Polish, which sports a thick, multicolored mane of hair that can be styled with the included purple brush. This character comes with cosmetics-inspired friends and a stand of her own. Another thoughtfully designed choice is Sara Sushi, which sports long, sparkly hair and a brush of her own. Her headband features a fun sushi design, with a California roll and a pair of chopsticks. Her apron is removable and sports a green bow in the back.
To make room for the new selections today, we removed some older selections, like Exclusive Pirouetta, which has glitter that rubs off rather easily, and Peppa Mint and Blossom Apples. No matter which particular doll or set you have your eye on, make sure you adhere to the age guidelines provided by the manufacturer, as many of these small toys are not intended for children younger than five years of age. In addition, always keep an eye on kids with their toys for a safe playtime.
