What is a shopkin?

Shopkins are a line of collectible toys that are based on grocery store items. They were first introduced by the Australian company Moose Toys in 2014. Shopkins are small, colorful figures that typically resemble food items, such as fruits, vegetables, snacks, and household objects like toiletries.

Each Shopkin has a unique name and character, often with a pun or play on words relating to its appearance or type of product. The toys are sold in various series, with each series featuring a different theme and collection of Shopkins.

Shopkins toys also come with various accessories and playsets, allowing kids to create their own miniature grocery store or scenes for imaginative play. There are also limited edition and rare Shopkins that are highly sought after by collectors.

The popularity of Shopkins quickly grew, and they have since expanded to include animated web series, movies, and video games. Shopkins are enjoyed by children and collectors alike for their cute and colorful designs, collectability, and the fun of searching for rare and exclusive figures.
