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.[1][2] As of 2024, 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.
