I'm in a toy group on FB that's a lot of parents of younger kids, so I tend to know what people are after. These Rainbocorns were blowing up not long before the hurricane. People were buying stores out of them, which is a little surprising considering they're $24.99 each. Parents were sharing lists of which colors go to which animals inside. They were putting up Amazon and Target links whenever they became available.
Normally, I can skip the current hot toy, with the exception of LOL Surprise, but these guys are really cute and I decided I needed the hot pink bunny. I was never able to order one before the hurricane and my stores didn't have any. So I was pretty surprised to see two in Target today. They weren't there before, so a bunch of toys must have gotten put out today.
If you haven't seen these, they're in a giant pink plastic egg with a plastic unicorn horn on it. The horn and heart on one of mine were purple, whereas the other had a blue heart and gold horn.
While I was showing them to my mom, a nice lady saw them and asked what they were. I explained they were one of the new hot toys for Christmas and she expressed interest. I told her they sold out really fast and these were the only two back there, so I let her pick one, because I wouldn't have bought both anyway. She took the blue heart egg, leaving me with the purple, which is probably the one I would have picked anyway.
I couldn't resist opening the egg when I got in the car, which is why there are no pics of it. I saw white fur and knew it was either the bunny or unicorn. I was thrilled to see the bunny. Both bunnies are the cutest, in my opinion. And based on my research, the blue heart one was the yellow monkey, so thank you, lady, for choosing the one I wouldn't have wanted to keep!
These guys are big. I don't have a ruler on me, but they're definitely not the smaller size I pictured in my head. I'm thinking 9 or 10 inches.
So you snap the sequin heart off the front of the big pink plastic egg container and it snaps into the belly of the plush. The sequins move, so you have two color choices: the main solid color from the outside of the egg or the little symbol you can see in the first picture. Hipity's is a pink ice cream cone.
Each Rainbocorn has a horn, rainbow floof hair and a pair of wings.
Gah, I love that cute bunny tail!
Hipity has blue metallic material for his wings, arms and legs, while purple lines his ears.
I love his glittery blue eyes and the tongue sticking out face. Each of the pair of animals has a different expression.
Each Rainbocorn also comes with a tiny figure called, for some reason, a Booboocorn.
I'm guessing the type of animal is matched to the plush. Mine is a transparent blue bunnycorn with a shiny purple layer of paint. It's got a hole in the bottom, too, so it can be used as a pencil topper.
There are several different varients of the Booboocorns. The pamphlet says there are 22 to collect.
If you're interested in Rainbocorns, I recommend heading to Amazon right now. A lot of them are currently in stock for $24.99. I was able to order my hot pink bunny for $6.66 after my gift card. when he arrives, I can do a full review with opening details.
As I said, I'm not usually a big fan of the current hot toys, but these are definitely cute, fun and cuddly.
