Fifteen squishies worth buying, sorted by texture instead of brand, with every price checked against what sellers are actually asking. Plus a Squish Type Finder, a Real Price Check, and the CPSC safety story stated accurately.
Both NeeDoh Christmas Calendar and Their “Funky Frights” Halloween Calendar are Causing a Frenzy!
Spin Master’s $39.99 Ms. Rachel farm playset. Where it’s in stock, why Amazon and Walmart disagree about it, and the cheaper Ms. Rachel toys that rate higher.
The $9.99 viral jar that grows a plush when you add water. Where it’s actually in stock, what a marked-up listing looks like, and the one thing the reviews agree on.
The $59.99 Amazon-exclusive collector set ships December 1. Where to pre-order it, why Comic-Con copies cost double, and what Kayou buyers say about the cards.
Mark Rober’s crushing machine, $34.99. Which retailer actually ships it now, what it can and can’t crush, and why CrunchLabs subscribers are the ones giving it one star.
Spin Master’s hatching shark, $49.99 at both national retailers. Where it’s actually in stock, what happens when you add the water, and the one thing not to throw away.
It’s $179.99 and releases November 6, but at that price Best Buy and GameStop pick whether you get the Espeon box or the Umbreon one. Guaranteeing Night currently costs $514 to $575.
Pre-orders are open at $64.99 against an $89.99 RRP, and it ships October 2. The last two RealFX animatronics are down to their final dozen units, with one Stitch reselling at $212.44.
It isn’t a doll shortage, it’s a Rumi shortage. Mira, Zoey and Jinu are in stock from Amazon at $26.97 to $31.98 while every Rumi doll is resale-only, starting at $49.67.
All seven are in stock on Amazon at $14.99 to $21.99. The catch nobody mentions: Mira and Zoey were never made as regular Squishmallows, only as the flip-into-ramen version.
Set 75456 ships September 1 and LEGO.com is currently the only US retailer with a listing. Here’s the price, what’s behind the 24 doors, and why last year’s calendar reviewed so badly.
Both colorways are in stock at about $45, and Rose Berry is the Amazon exclusive. The catch: Furby Vibes speaks only Furbish and does less than the Furby it replaced, which is still on sale for five dollars more.
Both are in stock at $86.99 each, and the talking-to-each-other feature only works if you buy both. Before you spend $173.98, the Interactables two-pack does the same trick for $64.79.
Amazon has sold out of its own stock, so the listing shows a High price warning. Ignore it: the best seller offer is $49.00 against a $54.99 list. Just check the title says Grogu, not Gogoo.
Amazon is already shipping the 2026 calendar at $69.99, ahead of its September 1 launch. Here’s how to avoid the two older editions selling under nearly the same name, and why the sellout urgency is overstated.
No, LEGO didn’t make a Harry Potter advent calendar for 2026 after seven straight years. Here’s what they made instead, how to still get last year’s for under its original price, and why the obvious explanation is probably wrong.
The Hot Wheels 2026 Advent Calendar is $26.99 at Amazon and sold out at the $19.99 shelf price. Here’s where to actually get one, what’s inside, and the lookalike box you should not buy.
Thirty years after the riots, it’s in stock at $39.92 with nobody fighting over it. The thing to know before buying: it’s an 18-inch animatronic, not the soft squeezy Elmo the name suggests.
Hatchin’ Yoshi is in stock at Amazon and Walmart. MSRP is $49.88. Here’s where to buy it, what it actually does, what owners say, and what a fair price looks like.
