Zoobles

Far away on the mysterious Isle of Zooble reside hundreds of adorable little creatures, each with the ability to magically transform from tiny balls hiding in the unknown into cute, mischievous, and quirky little creatures called Zoobles. These characters are waiting to surprise you by "popping" open when you least expect it.

Spin Master has taken the mechanism behind its successful Bakugan line, which features magnetized transforming characters, and brought it into the realm of girls' toys. Zoobles are collectible colorful spheres that "pop" open into fun and cute characters when placed on their magnetized "Happitat." There are hundreds of Zooble characters, themes, and playsets to collect and play with, all geared toward girls.

Unlike Bakugan, there is no game, but these endearing collectibles are likely to be huge hits with girls. The "magical" transformation is adorable, and the detail of eyes, features and decoration are highly sophisticated.
