Moose Toys had success with their line of Trash Pack collectible figurines targeted towards boys but lacked a market for girls. Co-chief Paul Solomon credits his mother Jacqui Tobias, director of girls’ products, for the idea of Shopkins. Shopkins were designed and developed by Moose Toys in Melbourne in April 2013. There are also spin-offs, with the current being the ongoing “Kindi Kids” line of dolls, released in August 2019. There are also series that represent holidays such as Halloween, Easter, and Christmas. As of 2023, there are eighteen seasons of the toys. The collectable toys (which are designated as common, rare, ultra-rare, special edition, limited edition, and exclusive) also had expanded into lines of clothing, trading cards, and other related merchandise. They also have special finishes like translucent, glitter, or squishy. Based on grocery store items, each plastic Shopkin figure has a recognizable face and unique name. Shopkins are a range of tiny, collectable toys manufactured by Moose Toys. 'Things You Love Made Micro!' (Season 14-18/Real Littles series) 'Once you shop - you can't stop!'
