To play off of the popularity of slime and surprise toys, Bandai is launching a new range of collectibles called Yolkies. These toys offer all the fun of a mystery unboxing experience, plus an edible element to appeal to kids. Once the egg-shaped canisters have been opened, kids will find sugar-free, edible slime and a gummy yolk, as well as one of 12 food-themed characters.
The collectible for young kids has the potential to become a popular stocking stuffer this holiday season, especially as Yolkies is an affordably priced range that offers an inexpensive toy and a treat all in one, plus a fun experience when it comes to discovering the contents of the packaging.
