I went to the Armada Fair a few weeks ago and saw this beauty:
It turns itself into ketchup!
Stikeez and Ickee Stikeez
After work today, I went out to dinner with my boss, her husband, my roommate, and some coworkers. We went to Sagebrush Cantina in Lake Orion for Mexican. Later, we went exploring some of the local shops: Prime Time Comics & Cards, Little Monsters toy store, and Poppyseed deli (for ice cream).
Normally, Little Monsters isn't open when we want to visit, but there was an in-store event happening, so the shop was open. I'm glad it was, because there, I found Ickee Stikeez and instantly fell in love.
Stikeez are collectible toys from Zing Toys distributed in plastic bubbles. They are tiny, squishy, characters mounted on suction cups. You're supposed to stick them to a hard surface then pull on them so that the suction cups make a "pop" sound. It's addicting and the characters are cute to boot.
Amie and I each bought four and Michael and Julie each bought one for themselves. Michael also bought two for Stephanie and Julie got one for each of her children.
After trading, I ended up with a pink The Drip, an orange Dandriff, a red Mouch, and a purple Nummymuffin. If you check out the website, you'll find some information about each character: where they hang out, what skills they have, their likes and dislikes, and of course, their "Ickee Factor".
As Michael drove us home, I searched the Internet using my phone and learned all about Stikeez. I can't wait to get more!
Right now, farm animal, jungle wildlife, and ocean life Stikeez are available in random assortments from the Zing Toys Store. It doesn't look like Ickee Stikeez are yet available for online purchase.
