Took an extra week or so off from the blarg after SDCC, but I’m back now. And what an egg to come back on! Dragonfly with a bowtie (autocorrect: “bowels”) and a smug/bemused expression. Pretty charming!

Man! They really rocked the stickers on this one. What I really want to call your attention to, though, is the art on the insert sheet. Usually these present the toy as though it were a real creature or car or whatever in its native habitat, but h…

Here’s another poppit-based thing. That’s what those crinkly tubes are called, right? Poppits? I remember there was a construction toy based on them. I had a couple from Happy Meals. Anyway, this is a robot or an astronaut or possibly a robo-astro…

Well, here’s a strange thing. You move the gray bar up and down, and the horrifying bear-pig-faced-man does a handstand (and whatever the opposite of a headstand is.) Sooo… Okay? It is the first toy I’ve seen that incorporates the egg, though, a…

Here’s another rocket-powered sailboat. I would link to the other one, but the archive isn’t very well optimized for that sort of thing (finding a particular post). I should just keep a list. Maybe that will happen. Anyway, catamaran. Is this a ca…

More lenticular hippo stickers. I guess these ones are doing a sort of American Idol or possibly Dancing With the Stars kind of thing. I won’t disparage them, now that I know they have a fan, but still. Stickers.

Dupe of #54. Why don’t I get duplicates of the awesome ones? I got two of that cool hover-liner, but other than that everything I’ve gotten two of were things I didn’t even want one of. I guess that’s Murphy’s Law as it applies to Kinder Eggs.

Oh huh, one of the weird caveman dioramas. Is “Rad-los” his name? I guess it must be, but that strikes me an an uncommonly strange name for a caveman. Even a caveman farmer. Even a caveman farmer who is kind of retarded and has decided that strapp…

Here’s one of the rare eggs that’s even older than the regularly-old eggs I have. You can probably tell by now what it does, just by looking: the wheel is a sort of irregular cam that makes the rider and horse’s head go up and down as you push it …

I got all excited for a moment, because I thought that was a little red dinosaur peeking at me out of the egg. “Hello!” Alas, it’s more Street Life In Mainhattan, where animals do things that you would almost, but never actually, see on a city str…
