Zuru 5 Surprise Mini Brands *and other small stuff

[ugg333]

Have you seen zuru mini brands books?
I got one from amazon, there were three books, they looked quite realistic, even on the inside, but only first two pages were real text from the book, the rest is garbled to look like it was deteriorated print. I was disappointed I couldn't read them, lol. Got a Diary of Wimpy kid and Matilda and something else
The ball also had a plastic bookshelf inside that you can build.

I got one and mine were all books and 1 bookmark.

Cute idea but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with my dolls reading some of those titles, lol. Gonna skip that batch.

With the sneakers does anyone know if they come in pairs?

*Edit- As I finally got my curly fries I'm pretty much done with the purple balls and round 2 of the fast food. I also have access to the rest of my food minis so if you're looking ofr a specific regular piece let me know.

DollyKim, are you afraid the dolls will get Ideas? Lol

There were two pairs in my sneakers ball. And a bag and a pair of tall boots in my fashion ball. Have not decided who is going to get any of those yet.

I also got the zuru babies surprise balls, and they turned out to be supremely cute. There is a doll, a nursery item and a couple of tiny accessories in the ball. The nursery items can be a crib, a rocker, a stroller and a changing table. The stroller rattles, others are not, if you are buying it in person. The dolls are full silicone with tiniest faceup and body blushing. Those are super cute and come in three skin colors.

Just being silly, and for the titles I would want there's too many I don't. Might pick up a few later, especially if they have minis of books I have. I do like the idea of the dolls having small versions of things I have.

Any chance you can show a baby with some dolls so I can get an idea what size it is? I want to get a doll for my Unoa Chibi but she's not quite ready for a tiny resin.

Sorry, I thought I posted a reply. The dolls are 2.5 inches long, and they do look like dolls for dolls. Even for 1/6 size. They are the same size as Baby Born surprize mini babies, but those have huge heads and cartoonish faces and correspondingly smaller bodies and limbs, while Zuru babies are very realistic in appearance and proportions.

Mini Brands now comes in KFC and only KFC. Will stop when biscuits are acquired.

*Learned my lesson from past experience, bought a "basic set" online with biscuits. That'll leave me with extra wedge buckets and coleslaws to trade but when you're in to this stuff you know how it is.

I also have easier access to my older Mini Brands sets if you're looking ofr anything in particular.

I want the KFC ones so bad. KFC was my favorite thing for a while as a kid. I really hope they can get the rights to make other food chains. I know they have some in the regular Foodie line, but the 90s kid in me would LOVE to see a McDonald's line. If they made the Happy Meal boxes as a surprise, like the bags in the other lines, I wouldn't even be mad.

I found these at Target in a stand alone cardboard display in toys but nowhere near the other surprise balls or dolls. The packaging is red and white with a big KFC logo so you can't miss it. So I suppose anywhere that sells Zuru surprise will have them.

If it is difficult to find them let me know and can pick up a few extra. When my order gets in I'll definitely have an extra half chicken half wedges bucket and coleslaw. Just went thru all my fast food and decided 2 is enough of anything.

I found them at Target too.
