Itty Bittys from Hallmark - Review and Giveaway
Brand new to the UK this October are the Itty Bittys from Hallmark, a range of small soft toys which have been taking the USA and Australia by storm since their launch a couple of years ago. The collectable plush toys are modelled on some of the most iconic film and television characters from the last century and it's so much fun to see your favourite characters in tiny, plush form. The toys have become so popular that sought after editions have been selling on eBay for up to £100, considering they will sell here for £6 that is some demand!We received a parcel of Itty Bittys from Hallmark and we've all been delighted with them. They measure about four inches in height and are packed with beans in their base which allows them to stand up on their own. You can feel the beans and, actually, whenever I hold an Itty Bitty in my hand I find myself touching the beans, it's quite tactile and relaxing. The plush fabric is beautifully soft which adds to how lovely they feel to hold. Their size makes them perfect to hold in your hand.
Itty Bittys will launch in the UK with Batman from DC Comics the first on to shelves. Never has the Dark Knight been so cute. He arrived in our parcel with Superman and I can envisage a few Batman Vs Superman battles in our house ahead of the big film release next year. There is a Peanuts range (we were sent Snoopy) and Wizard of Oz set on the way, and I'm fairly sure a Christmas range too as we have a little Santa and Rudolph. All of the figures are beautifully detailed, each with their own Itty Bitty label, and so much fun to play with.
LM and Bud have been delighted with the Itty Bittys and have each claimed their favourites - LM loves Superman while Bud has adopted Batman. My favourite is Snoopy so everyone is happy. I'm sure Santa and Rudolph will enjoy being on display in our home over Christmas. The US Itty Bitty range has over 80 characters so I'm looking forward to seeing how the range expands in UK stores. There is so much potential for different characters to be included! I'm sure these are going to be very popular and I'm already planning to purchase at least one more for Bud and LM, how cute will they look peeking out of a stocking on Christmas morning? At £6 per figure they are good value and I can imagine people will love collecting them.
