REVIEW: Zuru A Lot A Axolotls

What's that you said? Zuru is doing an axolotl line for $5 each?

TAKE MY MONEY. 

I absolutely wiped my work Walmart out of these. I figured my best chance of getting a full set was getting them from the same place all at once. 

I'm not going to post their official names. Like I think this is Dance-a-lotl. Just imagine cutesy stuff like that. 

So for $5, you get a poseable axolotl, a sticker, some play sand, and two accessories. 

I actually really love the dancer. She was like my third most wanted after the two spooky ones. Not my usual type, but I've got a love for purple and gold together. 

Okay, I said I wasn't going to do names, but this is Undertake-a-lotl and that's just hilarious. 

My second most wanted after the rare Scare-a-lotl. 

I love everything about him. 

Their little arms are on a ball joint, so they can swing out to help hold the accessories. However, they pop off REALLY EASILY. Be mindful of where you're opening these guys, because the arms and small accessories are easy to lose. 

The artist!

If you shove the edge of the hat under the gill, it will sometimes stay on. Most of the headgear is not stable. 

I had to work to get him to hold the brush. I'm displaying a lot of these without their accessories. Like they're cute, but I really just wanted the figures. 

The gamer. 

Definitely not one I was interested in accessory-wise but look at this face.

 

More like Sass-a-lotl. 

Those two are more coral. These two are much lighter, but still a peachy tone more than a straight up pink.  

On the left is the snack guy and the right is the rapper. The cap actually comes with the rapper, but I didn't want to hide his lightning bolt. I think it looks cute on the snacky guy with his little donut. 

The singer is more a true pink. I like her earrings. They come loose, so you can put them wherever on her gills you want. 

Jem-a-lotl!

Moving on to the aqua. 

This one is a chef. 

And this one just wants a nap. I relate to him very much. 

Normally, I don't like anything that hides their faces, but this snorkel is precious. 

So cute!

I think this little traveler has one of the best color schemes. Absolutely adore the gill colors and white belly.  

Tiny suitcaaaaaaase.

I was so lucky this morning, because I got the rare astronaut! He wasn't on my radar, because a) rare and b) Scare-a-lotl is more my style. 

But his colors. His colorrrrrrrrrrs. 

I meant to take a picture of him with his helmet on, because it's very cute, but I got distracted by these colors. 

Yeah, I can't get over how gorgeous he is. 

So from the commons, I'm missing the nurse and the reader (fourth most wanted!). And then Scare-a-lotl, who's rare like the astronaut here. 

My store seemed to have two cases. From pictures I've seen online, I'm pretty sure a case is 12. All the balls were unloaded into a Zuru display setup, so I didn't see the case itself. I bought 15 of them and ended up with 12 different. I'd love to know if there was a rare in each case, but even if there isn't, you're not going to get a full set in one case. 

I have doubles of the traveler, the sleepy one, and the snack one. I'd happily trade for the nurse or reader. (No one's going to give up Scare-a-lotl!) Or if anyone wants them, I'd gladly sell for $5 plus shipping. 

I love these. They're the cutest little things.
