The whole “blind” craze is a double-edged sword for me. On one hand, the kids love their blind bags, blind boxes, mystery eggs and capsules. On the other hand, I don’t like duplication… and when you’re buying blind, that can happen. As my wife is quick to note, that’s really the point – get duplicates, and trade with friends… just as I did with baseball and trading cards back in the day. Really, The Rock Daughters love blind bags, the most popular of which here have been Playmobil and Fisher-Price Imaginext figures. But there’s others… countless others, so it’s interesting when we see something different like the new line of MASH’EMS and FASH’EMS from the folks at Tech4Kids. They’re mashable, squishy, stretchy little characters based on numerous pop culture licenses, and for our first batch we received eight of them – two each from MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC, PAW Patrol, Disney•Pixar and DC Comics. We jumped on YouTube and cracked them open for a fresh episode of UNBOXED…
As you can see in the video, they’re squishy and filled with something akin to those squishy balls that those hard-sell, over-cologned/perfumed peddlers try to get you to buy from those kiosks in the mall. Fortunately, these are available at most major retailers or direct from Tech4Kids.
