The demand for collectibles that double as wearable accessories is surging, and MGA's new L.O.L. Surprise! Plush Surprise line is ready to add a touch of whimsy to everything from backpacks and belt loops to water bottles. These collectible, vinyl-faced plush toys for kids ages three and up introduce six characters who sport animal-themed onsies and channel a different musical genre—there's Pup-Tart the K-pop puppy, Pa-Manda the ’50s rock-and-roll panda, popstar Unique-Cora, and more.
As a whole, the collectibles are defined by playful expression, posed hands, and an integrated keychain clip, plus they deliver the surprise-and-delight experience the brand is known for, with secret pockets full of accessories like sunglasses, bows, earrings, and microphones to discover.
