Micro Lalaloopsy!

This will be a short review, given the fact these Lalaloopsy aren't very much to look at, nor do they function much of a purpose. But they are as cute as a new button and fun to collect!

Micro Lalaloopsy are quarter sized, miniature figurines that one can find in a surprise pack. Each doll comes with a matching sticker, a tiny heart sticker, and a poster that shows all of the micro's that belong to that specific series. On the back of the poster, one can use their stickers to mark which micro they own if they please.

Currently there are five series out, but as you will be able to see from my pictures that I only have series one through three. This is because where I live, they are not very popular. I only find them in SOME K-Marts for about two dollars, and last time I went (a couple months back) they didn't have any, yet the box was still there. I have a theory that I may have been the only person buying them since the box always looked exactly the same every time I came. I even bought the last three in the box the time before then...

These addictive little cuties may be hard to find, but they can be a real fun treat. They may not do much, but one thing people are encouraged to do can be kinda fun if you have a bunch...

Our bodies!

Something feels different...

 That's right! Their heads pop right off and you can switch/swap them and the bodies around to create brand new micros. I assume if you wanted to you can also repaint/mod them, something I had wished to do and intentionally planned, but I lost a few of the doubles I had, so I never got to find out how good it works other then seeing a picture someone did of them:

Not mine

 Anyway I will now go over each of the series to show you what the Micro world consists of up to this point. Each set comes with 12 brand new micros, with one being a mystery micro, and one being a blank micro.

Sorry for the glare, blame my camera

And so, I shall now go into my pros, cons, rankings mode.


Pros

• There's all sorts to find
• Fun to collect
• A fun little surprise for any Lalaloopsy fan
• The creative ways they can be used

Cons

• Because they come in mystery bags there isn't anyway to avoid getting repeats
• They're easy to lose
• They can be somewhat dangerous to young children
• Little to no use

Versatility/Use

As I have demonstrated/said/shown, Micro Lalaloopsy have a mixed reaction when it comes to their uses. They can't really be played with since they're so tiny and have a singular moving part, but at the same time you can play with them and even swap their heads for fun. They can be customized by repainting or simply using them in a craft, where all you need is some creativity to help you out!

While some may only see them as a one-note pony, I think it's up to the owners themselves to decide how far they can truly take them.

I give them a five out of five because while some may only see them as a one-note pony, I think it's up to the owners themselves to decide how far they can truly take them.

Safety

As mentioned in the cons listing, I am concerned that they may be dangerous for young children, should they ever be given one. The heads of the micro are pretty big, but it wouldn't stop a child from trying to eat it. The bodies meanwhile, could also be ate, or even shoved into the ear or nose.

Now I'm not trying to scare anyone, but I do want people to realize they still have to pay attention to these things and feel it's important to warn them.

General Appeal


The Micro Lalaloopsy are a very required taste as far as I know. A lot of people comment on how much they adore them on the Lalaloopsy Land wiki I run, but I've heard countless times that on facebook a lot of people/parents are complaining about them.
