Zoobles Surprise!

My sister was the one who introduced us to Richwell. No, she’s not working there, it just so happens that she got to know their store in Market Market and the numerous Barbie that went on sale back then. Other sale items we’re Hot Wheels and Mega Blocs, so just imagine how happy I was when I learned about their warehouse sale in Libis. Since then (that was in 2006), we have been going there every year (2-3 times). I have hoard (yes that term exactly) Hot Wheels, Chicco Toys and Mega Blocs from their warehouse sale every year.

When I was asked to review a product from them, I was ecstatic! May I present to you, ZOOBLES!

From their Press Release:

Zoobles are a collectable range of colorful characters that pop open when you least expect
it. They have finally popped their way here in the Philippine shores as Europlay Distributor Co. Inc will bring it here theZoobles fever!

From the manufacturers of amazing toys like Bakugan, Tech Deck, and Liv comes Zoobles, the collectable colorful balls that spring to life and magically transform into characters when placed on their Happitat. When petted, the Zoobles react by blinking their eyes, wagging their tails, wiggling their ears and more. There three different areas in the mysterious world of Zoobles Isles, Petagonia, Seagonia and Azoozia. Each Zoobles comes with its own Happitat which includes a hot spot for its popping open activation

“Zoobles are amazing, magical creatures that are incredibly fun,” says Phil Hooper, marketing director for Spin Master UK. “Not only do Zoobles stand out because of their outstanding design and unique transformation, but with over a 150 different Zoobles to collect, little girls are going to go crazy for these quirky characters.”

Jaffa was sent to us to surprise us an dbring fun to the kids.. moms and kids, please meet Jaffa:

Here, Jaffa is “sleeping” inside the Happitat (I’m assuming that’s happy and habitat in one word..)

From the looks of it, Zoobles are for girls and as describe in the box, it is for 4+ years old. But even so, I still handed it to my one year old girl, who was thrilled to see a “ball” and was more surprised when the ball comes in to life! Her reaction was priceless… of course, we never let her play with it alone.

My boy’s initial reaction was “ ay parang Bakugan!‘ (and as stated in the Press Release above, Zoobles and Bakugan came from the same toy manufacturer). They were also surprised that upside down, the toy won’t fall. That led to lengthy discussion about magnet.. so yes, aside from fascinating, this toy can be educational too.

I can’t wait for Sati to grow up so we can start collecting Zoobles, 150 balls would be so much fun!

Here are some of the Zoobles that Mommy and Sati is eying:
