I wanted to try a couple new products today and MGAE's Secret Crush is one of them.
These are in the $10 range, depending on which store you buy them from.
I wish I'd done a bit of research, but it was honestly just a whim this morning. There's not a simple hack or codes, but there is a 2-part hack.
I managed to skip taking a picture of the checklist, but it's MGAE, so you know these have an elaborate website and you can see the characters there.
These were not fun to open. You have to cut all the pink loops. Then you can pull the lid off and the hammer loose.
You use the hammer to smash the colored heart part. That's the first part of the hack. You can pretty easily see the color of this smashable heart. If you go on the website or look at your checklist, you'll see each character has a colored heart with their name in it. That color matches the smashable heart. So this one here is Bebe Bear, who has the only yellow heart.
Crushing the heart reveals the bead tray. That's the second step of hacking these. You use a flashlight to candle the box and you should be able to see the bead shapes. If you look at the website or checklist, each doll's art has a heart as a background and the little items in that heart are the beads that come with them. So Bebe had round bears and ones shaped like gummy bears.
So yeah, that's the hack. ID the smashable heart color and match it to the one you want. Then use a light to ID the beads and figure out which doll is in there. I plan on trying this the next time I go back to Walmart, since I really only want one more character.
That settled, the packaging is super cute. I love that everything looks like candy wrappers.
The doll's head is packaged separately from her body pieces.
The arms and legs are articulated.
Quite easy to put together.
And to dress.
These don't look like Lalaloopsy, but those are the vibes I'm getting regardless.
Her hair pieces were in the long string of packets.
Then you open the bead tray, fill the hair pieces, close them, and attach them to the doll's head.
This wasn't the easiest thing ever, as you can imagine with a bunch of teeny round beads.
They also all don't fit. You're supposed to put some on the lanyard, I think.
I didn't take pics of the second one step by step. She has a purple smashable heart. Turns out so does the one I really want! Ugh. So close.
This is Fizzy Lizzy. She has a lot of star and sphere beads, so I had to leave several out to close her hair compartment.
Really cute!
They're both a lot cuter than I expected.
I say I won't buy more than just the one I want, but...I am weak after all. We'll see!
