Product review (5 stars): The Next Must Have Toy!
Walking through a local store I happened across these cute little figures and well... being me I jumped on them! About two hours and several bills later I sat at home to enjoy these at my coffee table.

First of all Zoobles are some kind of wonderful crossbreed between Littlest Pet Shop and Bakugan. Little creatures composed of springy parts that fold into a small ball, they turn back to a critter when placed on their included dwelling (they're eyes even move!). Their decorations fall somewhere between groovy-disco and a Mexican sugar-skull, with small hollows even molded in which adds to their delicate look. Well, I say "look" because I'm not going to break mine to test their sturdiness, sorry. As always, I say obey the age recommendation (4+ years).

This set contains 5 Zoobles: a green seal, yellow cat, red whale, blue turtle, and purple bird. Also 3 Happitats with a total of five magnetized spots on them for Zooble display, and of course the carrying case they come in.

Now the fun part! playing with these is guaranteed fun, as balls they roll, when placed on their "happitats" they spring up instantly. I picked up about eight different molds, and all look at least vaguely like the creature they're supposed to. Animals are limited now, but there are more to be released later.

So Positives: Cute, intricate, colorful, various animals, numbered for easy collecting, made for creative play. :)

Negatives: Possibly fragile, could have included a game aspect (like Bakugan) but doesn't, has metal springs that can rust if you submerge them,

Overall, I'm loving them, and I'm betting they'll be a big holiday hit this year. If you're uncertain about them I'd suggest you go see them in person, they're absolutely charming! just make sure the recipient kid treats their toys gently, they do feel a bit fragile.
