Shopkins have become a toy box staple and have crept into the heart of little girls the world over. They are cute, adorable, very colourful and collectible with price ranges that accommodate intermittent purchase and big ticket item buys kept especially for birthdays and special occasions. From the small collectible Shopkins, to the world of Shoppies and now Shoppets, the Shopkins universe features different themes for every season, sparks the imagination and provides endless hours of enjoyment. Shopkins fans can continue to grow their collections with more characters and additional playsets that all connect to each other to build a complete Shopkins world.
This season sees the launch of Shopkins’ Season Nine – Wild Style, which introduces the Shoppets. They are adorable little pets for the Shoppies dolls and are larger than a Shopkin, but smaller than a Shoppie.
These furry Shoppets come in different designs, such as Pupkin Cake the puppy, Ambear the bear and Kitty Crumbles the kitten who accompany the Season 9 Shopkins on wild adventures around their hometown of Pawville. Join in the adventure as Shopkins and Shoppies discover the Shoppets world of Pawville, where life isn’t just awesome, but “pawsome”.
