Shopkins

Shopkins are a range of tiny, collectable toys manufactured by Moose Toys. Based on grocery store items, each plastic Shopkin figure has a recognizable face and unique name. They also have special finishes like translucent, glitter, or squishy. The collectable toys (which are designated as common, rare, ultra-rare, special edition, limited edition, and exclusive) also expanded into lines of clothing, trading cards, and other related merchandise.

The toy line began in 2014. As of 2025, there are seventeen seasons of the toys. There are also series that represent holidays, such as Halloween, Easter, and Christmas. There are also spin-offs, such as the Kindi Kids line of dolls, which was released in August 2019.

History

Shopkins were designed and developed by Moose Toys in Melbourne in April 2013. Co-chief Paul Solomon credits his mother, Jacqui Tobias, director of girls’ products, for the idea of Shopkins. Moose Toys had success with its line of Trash Pack collectible figurines targeted towards boys but lacked a market for girls. Shopkins was initially produced as a similar product for girls; however, it appeals to children in general.

The success of the Shopkins toy line later led to various types of official merchandise, apps, three movies, music, and spin-offs. Additionally, there were also auction Shopkins on eBay, San Diego Comic-Con exclusive sets, and more.

Figures

Shopkins figurines are about 1 inch in height and 1/2 inch in width, roughly the size of a United States quarter. Each figurine has a face, a name, and its own personality. They are distributed in bright coloured packaging with bubble letters. Shopkins are based on grocery items: for example, there is a sweet apple named Apple Blossom, a chocolate bar named Cheeky Chocolate, a lipstick named Lippy Lips, and a chocolate chip cookie named Kooky Cookie. There are hundreds of Shopkins in the Shopkins World. Shopkins are organized into categories, such as Fruit & Veg and Bakery. They can be found in a variety of packs; 2, 5, 12, and Mega (20) packs are the most well known. However, for a limited time, 10-packs were sold during Season 1. Season 9 would retire the 5-packs indefinitely in place for Shoppet packs. With the debut of Mini Packs in Season 10, the 2, 12, and Mega packs were reconfigured into 1-packs (consisting of one Shopkin and one Mini Pack for one complete figure), 8-packs (consisting of eight Shopkins and eight Mini Packs for eight complete figures), and Variety (12) packs (consisting of 12 Shopkins and 12 Mini Packs for 12 complete figures), respectively. In Season 11, variety packs would be replaced by Family Fun Packs (consisting of a family of five Shopkins for one large Mini Pack and eight other Shopkins and Mini Packs for 22 items total). For the Real Littles line, the 2-packs (consisting of two Shopkins and two Mini Packs for two complete figures) would return alongside the 8-packs introduced in Season 10. After being introduced in Season 12, these packs would remain for Season 13. In Season 14, the series would reintroduce the Mega packs (now consisting of 13 Shopkins and 13 Mini Packs for 13 complete figures). These packs would remain for Seasons 15, 16, and 17.

Rarities

Shopkins are collected and valued based on their rarity. Moose classifies the Shopkins degrees of rarity as Common (White and Purple in Season 12 onward), Exclusive (Turquoise), Limited Edition (Gold), Rare (Green), Special Edition (Blue), and Ultra Rare (Pink). Special Edition Shopkins can be found only in 8- or 12-packs of Shopkins.

Materials

Materials used for Shopkins were rubbery-plastic, brought from China, and from Season 10 onward, the plastic is from Vietnam.

In August 2014, Moose Toys built brand awareness with their Shopkins short cartoon videos on their YouTube channel Shopkins World (now known as MooseTube Squad to promote other toys by Moose), but it was the YouTube videos of consumers unwrapping and playing with the toys that helped bring the line to mainstream prominence. Canadian-based WildBrain distributes the webisodes on the WildBrain - Cutie Cartoons channel. The series would end after 85 episodes during the release of Season 10. The series was released on June 23, 2014, and ended on October 4, 2018.

Apps

Welcome to Shopville/Shopkins World

They can also unlock Shopkins by unboxing mini boxes as they collect coins from the games, and can also view their collection. The game is also compatible with the Shoppies’ VIP codes, in which players can type them in their Shopkins collection to unlock rewards, such as various and Shoppies’ exclusive Shopkins. New shops had been added in later updates, including ones based on several seasons of Shopkins to promote the new seasons. In 2017, a café is added, allowing players to customize the area by purchasing furniture with a new currency, which are heart-shaped gems, a trophy area, in which players can check out their trophy collection, as well as changing the customers into any Shopkins character they want. Typing any Shoppies dolls’ VIP codes for the first time can unlock a extension for the café, which is a VIP area, as well as more Shopkins characters, and also Shoppies. The shops shown in the game were all initially free, until the said update in 2017, notably also including even more in-app purchases, the players can complete various quests by Shopkins and collect keys to unlock the shops, milestones for different features added to collect trophies, shops such as the Cupcake Bake Shop and Pet Park being removed (despite the current official description still mentioning the Cupcake Bake Shop) other features being added, complaints about the app having a tendency to crash occasionally, and also other various glitches, causing criticism by several reviews.

Shopkins: Shop n’ Seek

Shopkins: Shop n’ Seek was released in late 2020 and developed by Blipd. In the game, the player can role play as one of the Shoppies characters to visit an AR world to collect and find Shopkins everywhere as well as coins to unlock other worlds as well as other Shoppies. Some worlds also have exclusive Shopkins to find. Then, they can play with their Shopkins in AR anywhere by using the Play mode. They can also see their Shopkins collection. During its initial release, the player must sign in with personal information, but because of criticism in reviews, the game is completely free, and new players can download the game without signing in.

Other apps

Even more apps were released, including various running apps to collect coins. Some apps were also released for its own season, including ones for Seasons 6 and 8.

Playsets also come with exclusive Shopkins, which are buildable, as well as extra pegs for regular Shopkins to stand on the playsets. The line was released in 2015.

McDonald's Happy Meal Toys

In December 2015, Moose Toys partnered up with McDonald's to release Happy Meal-exclusive Shopkins, mainly based on items found from the fashion department. The same toys were released in France in 2017, and later Mexico in 2018.

From May 2017 to March 2018, Moose Toys partnered up with subscription box licensee, CultureFly, to promote Shopkins Direct, which was a subscription box with exclusive Shopkins accessories and merchandise, which was described as a quarterly/seasonal subscription service delivering accessories, apparel, and other exclusive merchandise featuring Shopkins characters. Box contents included Shopkins brand items such as plushies, lip balm, and limited-edition figures. (Additionally, exclusive Shopkins have been distributed via Shopkin pop-up chain stores located in North America.)

Counterfeit Shopkins

Counterfeit Shopkins began to surface around mid-2015, including those with Funny Sweet or Shopkinsins on the packaging, which can refer to Shopkins in colors that Moose Toys never officially produced, such as Boo Hoo Onion being light blue and Chee Zee being orange. Arms and other parts might be broken, and paint could easily chip off. In response to this, Moose made an official video on the Shopkins official YouTube channel about how to spot counterfeit Shopkins. A number of sellers on websites offer counterfeit Shopkins that can include item pictures with Shopkins branding, most likely as a way to avoid the listing being taken away under intellectual property policies of the website and/or store.

Cases

Two factories in Yiwu producing counterfeit Shopkins toys were raided by local police in China in mid-2015, and Moose Toys stated that it will take legal action against anyone selling counterfeit Shopkins, which included a chain of Thriftway businesses selling counterfeit Shopkins.

In popular culture

Shopkins served as inspiration for a design challenge on season 16 of ''Project Runway''.

The Shoppies dolls, Jessicake, Bubbleisha and Peppa-Mint, along with some of the Season 6 playsets were featured in an episode of the adult animated stop motion sketch comedy TV series ''Robot Chicken''.

Sacha Baron Cohen's character OMGWhizzBoyOMG!, in his satire series '' Who Is America?'', unboxed Shopkins while interviewing political figures.

In 2019, there were videos featuring the Shoppies line of dolls, made using a popular app known as ''Gacha Life''. A popular fandom on YouTube features the Shoppies doll, Jessicake, who is meant to be on the dark side.

The Real Littles series of Shopkins (Seasons/Series 12-14) gained popularity on social media platforms, such as TikTok and YouTube Shorts, with some unboxing videos of them gaining millions of views, alongside a similar toy brand, 5 Surprise Mini Brands, by Zuru.
