If you're looking for the next collectible craze, then look no further! 2019 is kicking off with these adorable, new llama poseable figures by Jakks Pacific called Who's Your Llama? Each llama can do one of four different silly things like spit (they can spit water from their mouth!), stick their tongue out, wink, or give you a big, bucktooth grin! You'll be able to start your llama collection in January 2019, and with 12 mystery llamas to collect in all, you'll want to finish this collection as they are so cute! You can find them at any one of these stores in 2019 in the US: Walgreen's, Cracker Barrell's Country Store (connected to their yummy restaurant), Big Lots!, and Party City. I am sure they will be coming to Target, Walmart, and Amazon soon after. If you're in the UK, you can find them at ASDA now! Lucky ducks in the UK! Or, I should say llucky llamas!
Tiny toy giant, Moose Toys, unwrapped Wrapples — adorable plush slap style bracelets that wrap around your wrist. Their eyes light up based on their mood, they giggle and purr, too! Its like a fashionable, interactive pet for your wrist.
Wrapples respond to touch, gentle movements, and there is a button at the back of their ear that will tickle them and make them sing. You will know when your Wrapples best friend is happy, anxious, sleepy, or being silly when their eyes change and flash different colors. Getting two Wrapples makes for double the fun as your Wrapples will talk to one another. I love how you can wear your Wrapples on your wrist, so you will always have a little plush friend to hang out with you and make you giggle and smile. They really are just so addable! Grab Wrapples for the holidays now at stores like Target, Walmart, and Amazon.
With a fun variety of colors and friends to choose from, this is the perfect gift for your fashionista! Priced at $14.99, it’s a great priced for the purr-fect gift! Big thank you to Moose Toys for sending Wrapples over to us for our review!
Mickey just celebrated his 90th birthday, and we have the Disney Tsum Tsum Mickey Through the Years Gift Set exclusive to Target that includes 10 Tsum Tsum Mickey medium vinyl figures featuring different eras of Mickey from Steamboat Willie to Sorcerer Mickey to Bob Crotchet Mickey from Mickey’s Christmas Carol to celebrate. Grab that set now at Target for $14.99 (regularly $19.99), and if you have a Target Red Card, take an additional 5% off!
We also open up some Disney Tsum Tsum Series 12 blind bags with eight to collect in all varying from repaints to redos, this set is still full of magic. We finally have an invisible Cheshire Cat, revised accessory packs for Stitch with his record player, Sally with a picnic basket, and more! My favorite is Princess Aurora in her canopy bed wearing her blue dress. Jakks Pacific really does such a great job with these Disney details! I really hope the rumors that Series 12 is the last series is just a rumor!
We also unboxed Thanos’s light up Gauntlet set, which was a Summer Expo Exclusive sold at Game Stop for $14.99 (on sale now, regularly $19.99). The gauntlet features light up infinity stones, and a large Thanos sits atop. Which ones are you favorite from what we opened in our video?
Moose Toys sent us a big box of goodies, so we decided to open the box slowly to savor the flavor of free toys! Inside the box were Pikmi Pops, Mighty Beanz, Little Live Pets Bella the puppy, Disney Doorables, and Little Live Pets Wrapples! We also played Shopkins World Vacation by Pressman Toys.
Shopkins World Vacation by Pressman Toys is a cute, fun board game geared for ages five years and up, and perfect for two to four travelers. My son really enjoys playing this game, and pairing it with toy surprises made the stakes higher, so he was really trying to win! He won, of course! I found this game to be really engaging as you do need a bit of critical thinking and strategy in order to get back "HOME" the fastest with all of your travel tokens. Shopkins World Vacation can be found for as a little as $7 at Kmart or $12 on Amazon (good deal if you have Prime), which makes a great price point for a gift for the holidays! Plus it include four exclusive Shopkins for your Shopkins collector.
The prizes for our big were Series 2 Pikmi Pop and a Pikmi Flip! The new Pikmi Flips are adorable plushies that have the same colors outside, and inside the surprise is the plush inside. The concept reminds me of Popples, but the results are very different! Pikmi Flips are scented with different flavorful scents. The one that we got smelled like yummy donuts! The Pikmi Pops from Series 2 were adorable and they were spooky themed with chocolate scents. Pikmi Pops and Pikmi Flips range from $8.99 to $9.99 at major stores like Target, Walmart, and Amazon. The price points make for great stocking stuffers for the holidays.
Big thank you to Moose Toys for sending us so many goodies for our review!

Ooz-o’s Slime Surprise are do it yourself slime kits that now have little toys included to put inside the ball! When you burst the Ooz-o’s slimeball open, you get a satisfying squeeze of slime and a cute little surprise. Each set is for kiddos ages six and up, and you can get this set at Target; you can make 20 Ooz-o’s balls with each set! I put small vinyl Disney Tsum Tsum figures inside a couple of my Ooz-o’s and they worked like a charm. Stay tuned for some fun videos that include these fun balls of slime!
It could be that I am a mom, or just kind of insane in the membrane, but I never have any luck with DIY Slime Kits, but Ooz-o's are different! They come with easy to follow instructions, and you can even go to the Ooz-o's YouTube channel for extra inspiration and easy how-to guides.
These kind of crafts are great gifts for kids because it keeps them busy and it teaches them useful tips on following instructions, plus they are so proud of themselves with the end results! The biggest craze now is anything slimy and squishy which is why anything from the Horizon Group USA product range is affordable and necessary for your kiddo’s stocking or gift for the holiday! With titles like Ooz-o’s, Fizzygloop and Squish-O’s, your kids will love saying them as well as make them! Ooz-o’s are squishy balls that you create, then squeeze to pop and feel the gooey center! Fizzygloop is just that fizzy gloop! Create fizzing slime and watch your creation turn into SLIMYGLOOP! I feel like Willy Wonka is behind these fun names! Squoosh-Os are create your own stress balls with fun themes - relax in style, strengthen your wrists, and just let out the sillies with these cool sets! And they are all - drum roll please! $5 each! Grab them at Michaels, Walmart, 5 Below, Target, Walmart, and at Barnes & Noble.
Thank you so much Horizon Group USA for sending over Ooz-o’s for our review!
Make a splash for your next bedtime with a super cool boxed set of homemade, hypoallergenic bath bombs made of organic ingredients. Fizzy Magic bath fizzy bombs come in delightful discs or round balls that just smell so heavenly and sweet! We tested a few in our recent video, and to my son’s delight inside each of the Fizzy Magic bath fizzies is a toy surprise. There are different collections and themes to choose from and each bomb has a clue on it, so before you pop the fizzy bath bomb in the water, reveal the clue, and while the bath bomb fizzes into the water, your kiddo will be able to think of his or her answer. The collection we reviewed in our video came from the Safari Collection, but you can also get Sea Life or Farm collections. Each box includes five different bath fizzies each with a surprise animal figurine inside, Clues, Fun Fact cards, a lovely carry bag for your trinkets and cards, and a digital story perfect for bedtime — all for $24.95, which is a great value and would make the perfect gift for this holiday season. If you want to purchase them as a set, break them up for stocking stuffers, or you can buy them individually for $7.45. Fizzy Magic bath sets are the perfect gift for kiddos ages four through nine.
Overall, I find such a great value with Fizzy Magic bath bombs — they left our hands super soft, and the color didn’t stain our skin. Using Fizzy Magic bath bombs in the bathtub are totally okay, my dad is a licensed master plumber, and he said as long as it dissolves, it’s okay to use! They definitely dissolve and do not leave your tub or sink stained either. Fizzy Magic bath bombs are handmade and totally safe for your little one’s skin.
A portion of proceeds from each sale is donated to Graham’s Foundation, a wonderful charity supporting the funding of children born prematurely. Graham’s Foundation is such a worthy cause, my own nephew was born prematurely, and a care package from Graham’s Foundation would have been so helpful to my sister and brother in law. I don’t think people understand how hard it can be to watch your innocent little baby be locked in a little incubator and hooked up to a bunch of wires and tubes. The inventor of Fizzy Magic bath fizzies, Illinois mom Mary Westerhaus, knows this horror as her own two children were both born prematurely, which why she supports this worthy cause.
Feed your child’s enthusiastic need to collect by building a love for educational trivia and collecting adorable animal figures from bears to stingrays to camels to roosters; your kid will just love bath time!
Thank you so much to Fizzy Magic for sending us this amazing bathtub box of Fizzy Magic goodies!
We are super excited to share that we have reached 10,000 subscribers on YouTube-help us celebrate with a HUGE giveaway!
To reach this milestone, it really took a lot of work. I have two small children, I maintain a home, try to live my life normally, and maintain our channel and blog -- to say that this feat was easy is not true at all! I have been working at this for nearly three years with the hopes of making it a full time job. I wish I can say that Tubey Toys Review Channel can sustain us, but it doesn't, which makes me grateful to have wonderful toy companies who send us products for review (now we do at least-hah!). Shout out to Zuru and Redwood Ventures who gave us our first big "break" and sent us toys in September 2017. It was the first time we were sent anything for free, and I will NEVER ever forget their kindness. Our channel has taken a slump in views as we have been removed from YouTube Kids again, which makes me angry, sad, and determined to overcome this vicious YouTube algorithm. I am working on making our channel more mainstream, which is something I never wanted to do, but in order to be a success on YouTube, you have to do what is trending! It's not about what you want. I will have that chance at creativity when our following can actually view us.

Slime Factory by Magic Time has a fun collection of novelty slimes for your sliming pleasure! We were sent a fun package full of slimy goodness with their Super Slime, DIY Slime Kit, Write-On Slime Kit, and Slime Sucker figure!
The Gold Glitter Slime is packaged in a fancy container, and inside is slime that looks like it was spun from the finest gold. The Gold Glitter Super Slime is just dream, and leaves beautiful remnants of gold glitter on your hands, which washes off easily. This slime makes fancy fart noises and creates cool bubbles. The gold glitter slime is stretchy, rips apart, and is just the right amount of ooey-gooey; super satisfying! When you’re done with slime time simply put it back in the container and close the lid for later play.
The Slime Sucker is my favorite from this collection! There are three to collect in all: a Unicorn, Goozer (it’s like a slime-loving alien), and a Narwhal. We got the Narwhal, the half whale-half unicorn, and it is just awesome. The slime sucker literally sucks up the slime that is included with the set, and then it “spits” it out. It’s just a funny sight, and totally fun to do! I tested to see if it suck up the Gold Glitter Super Slime, and that Narwhal gobbled it up! I can’t wait to test out more slime, and to find the rest from this collection.
Writing on your slime never was easier with Slime Factory’s Write-On Slime! Included in the Write-On Slime is a laser pen, and the trick is to write very close to the slime and your writing and drawing will show up on the slime. You can pull the laser light pen away and it’s almost like an airbrush effect.
you can write or draw directly on to the slime. The slime does not glow in the dark as I originally thought, but it is so cool!
For just under $5, you can get your own DIY Slime Kit by Slime Factory, and they come in a variety of slime styles like Galaxy Slime, Gold Glitter Slime, and Glow in the Dark slime! Your slime is ready in minutes, and Slime Factory makes it super easy to mix the ingredients together. Each kit comes with everything that you need to make your own slime. The only thing you will need is a bowl to mix, and a container to store it.
Big thank you to Slime Factory by Magic Time for sending this amazing package to us! We had so much fun with this review.

Relive the magic of The Incredibles movies with the amazing Pixar Toy Box collection of fully articulated action figures and stationary figures. Each figure is reminiscent of the action-packed superhero flicks Incredibles 1 and 2, where you can stun the enemy like Violet, freeze your opponent like Frozone, and run faster than a cheetah-like Dash! Usually, these figures come in two or three packs, but you can buy all 11 figures in one beautifully packaged toy set for $65 with ShopDisney. There is a sale going on right now, and you can use the code DisneyPal to save yourself 25% off!
Overall, I have to say the Disney Toy Box and Pixar Toy Box action figures are so well made and are fully possible action figures. We recently reviewed the Wreck-It Ralph figures, and I found those figures to be so easy to play with and pose for skits and photos. The set for The Incredibles is the best bang for your buck as you get the complete collection plus the exclusive Jack-Jack as baby Edna figure. This set is a must-have for your Disney Pixar collection as they all stand beautifully with little manipulation, the majority are fully poseable. The Jack-Jack and Edna Mode figures are not poseable, but they stand proudly on nifty stands. Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Frozone, Dash, and Violet feature 14 points of articulation, which makes for action-packed play scenes! All of the Disney Toy Box and Pixar Toy Box figures accessories are interchangeable, which lends to the versatility of these action figures. I also love that the Incredibile RC Car also fits The Incredibles figures; that’s in my shopping cart right now. Follow up video coming soon.
What do you think of these supercharged action figures? Do you think the price tags are justified at being about $13 per 2-pack? I certainly do! I would love to know your thoughts in the comments.
