More standard egg shapes here, some with
chocolate, some without, along with a blind bag (Lego) and a Tomy 'gum'
ball!
Bandwagoning from Schleich here, and why not, but they're following Lego's blind-bagging band-wagon, not the
original Kinder, although that was
itself only a commercial formalisation of gum-ball machine prizes, with better
quality toys and a chocolate egg!
Bayala is very-much the 'pink & purple'
line in Schleich's catalogue, and
these eggs, with no edibles, seem to contain one of twelve winged kitten-dragons
in ten sculpts, again, not really a bit of me, but they will come in, in mixed
lots over time, and it's always nice to know what you're dealing with!
I think we've seen something like these
before (from Dracco Candy of Spain) and I castigated
them on that occasion, well, I had another go and these are an equal rip-off with little in them beyond shite, but
the jelly-beans were OK! I've lost the brand on this one, but it's around
somewhere.
Picked these up in a discount supermarket
in North London when I visited Peter Evans, back before lock-down . . . three
years, god! Aras Eggo Toys from
Turkey, they also do larger sweet-container eggs with thematic branding - army
tanks, puppies, Cindy-doll knock-offs
&etc.
The toy is a small, simple 3-part jet-fighter,
made in China, which I thought I'd shot assembled, but obviously not! While the
egg is - for me - a preferable all-chocolate, to that sickly white stuff with makes up
half a Kinder egg.
I've had a go at BIP (Holland) before, as well; their Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtle egg was a disappointment, and that story continues with
this jump on the art / designer-toy bandwagon, with an Ugly Dolls button-badge, mini-sticker sheet and those barely edible
chalky candies.
I should caveat my attack with the point
that I'm coming from the angle of looking for figurals - some kids love
stickers . . . and badges, and will be well-happy with this as a pocket-money
treat!
Safer ground with Tomy's capsule toys, large dispensers in shopping precincts (malls)
and some retailers (The Entertainer
always has a bank of them near the tills or the entrance), and here we have two
of the Incredibles from Disney-Pixar.
Finally, there's these from Lego, their blind-bag minifigures, I got
the mad Doctor Bunsen Honeydew, but would like the band! They'll turn-up on
evilBay as full sets of twelve, if they haven't already, some traders buy wholesale
and break them down.
