8:56 You did truly have to be there. I was HOOKED on CookieSwirlC's Shopkins videos. She made me love them more.

I had a friend in 5th grade who always smelled like cat pee and told me once that she wiped the faces off of shopkins with nail polish remover so they could be food for her littlest pet shop. She said she had a machete that she could bring to school one day and we never saw her again. Hope queen is doing well

I was in high school during this time, but my younger sister was so obsessed with Shopkins back when she was a toddler. I remember playing with Shopkins because of her.... so many memories.... now she's 12 years old and into makeup and fashion. She still has a shopkins blanket, which she still uses to this day.....Why do they grow up so fast!?! 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

my family didn't buy toys much unless thrifted, so when I got an amazing report card, my dad brought me to toys r us to buy me two huge packs of shopkins. That was my first toy directly bought from it's retailer. That was my fondest memory, i miss them so much.

I remember having bins and bins full of shopkins omg😭😭 this is gonna be so nostalgic for me

The Venn diagram between kids who played with shopkins and kids who watched Cookie Swirl C is a circle

imo the golden years of shopkins were definitely 2014-2016

Shopkins originating from Australia actually explains a lot for me. I remember there was this character that was fairy bread (Australian snack that's just bread with sprinkles) and I was so confused on what it was supposed to be as a kid.

When I was younger I was so mad that I didn’t get a rare Shopkins so my aunt just painted on glittery and I LOVED it

I collected shopkins but I remember that time Cookie swirl C voiced a cookie in the grossery gang named cookie hurl c

Honestly, Shopkins walking so Mini-Brands could run is so true. Shopkins fit those cute childhood toy themes of real items with eyes. Mini-Brands is just the adult version/realistic version of Shopkins. 😂

i remember never getting limited edition and i'm still so upset about that

I thank Cookie Swirl C for my love of shopkins as a kid I wanted all the ones she got, but especially the baby shopkins because I thought they were so cute.

Shopkins were my LITERAL CHILDHOOD😭😭😭😭😭 I remember adoring them, and I witnessed their fall from fame. It was a short while after L.O.L. Surprise! dolls took over the market. It made me kinda sad to not see them around so much anymore.

I went to a whole shopkins themed trading birthday party in the third grade 😭 we all traded and got goodie bags with shopkins at the end and she was rich so the whole party was shopkins themed everywhere and her house was huge it’s literally such a vivid memory for me

I am so severely glad you made a video about the Shopkins. Because, let me tell you, I might've been the biggest male fan of Shopkins to ever exist. I have been collecting them ever since they were first around back in 2014, and my collection would only grow from there. And I still love the Shopkins to this day. And I especially fell in love with the Shoppets when they were first released. And even more so to this day. This might be the inner furry in me, but I absolutely ADORE them! I even made my own Shoppet sona, who is essentially a video game themed dalmatian named Pong Paws. I showed him to someone who works at Moose Toys through Gmail, she showed him to everyone she's working with, and they loved him. She even sent be an official sketch of Pong Paws as a gift. Which is incredibly sweet of her. Another thing about the Shoppets, I saw the Wild World movie on Netflix back when it came out, and, gonna be honest, Pupkin Cake and Rubie Blaze might be one of my first OTPs. I can't help but feel they radient lesbian energy off of each other. And on the topic of Wild World, here's a fun fact: Donatina was voiced by Abby Trott. AKA, the singer of Lifelight from Super Smash Bros Ultimate! Which is honestly really cool, since Lifelight is one of my absolute favorite songs in a video game. By the way, i must mention something somewhat tragic. I've noticed that CookieSwirlC has been deleting a lot of her old videos, including a bunch of her Shopkins videos. Which honestly really saddens me on a personal level. If anyone here has downloaded any of Cookie's old Shopkins videos, please let me know. But anyway, enough rambling. This is an incredibly made video regarding the Shopkins, and you did an excellent job, Lula! I truly hope that the Shopkins will return in their usual form some day, and I would especially love to see the Shoppets come back too. Update on CookieSwirlC's videos being deleted: So, the other day, I messaged Cookie on Twitter, asking her why her old videos have been deleted. She said her videos are being deleted because KZfaq has been deleting them themselves. And she said that this has happened to other KZfaqrs. So, this wasn't her doing this, it was KZfaq themselves. I am still currently talking to Cookie about this, so this might be updated again soon.

as an english viewer, i can relate to this video sm. i had lunchboxes full of shopkins

I did not expect the My Froggy Stuff shout-out lol. I only got into her stuff last year and she's so talented! As a kid, I probably also would've preferred the mini brands to also use as proper props for my dolls but from what I've seen, I think it's still more of a collector's experience for gen alpha.

Oh gosh nostalgia overload…. I had an entire tub of these when I was young. Is it just me or did anyone use the ones with holes as pencil toppers?

I barely know anything about Shopkins, but I love the designs of the Shoppies dolls. They're really cute, I'm a sucker for dolls with large and cartoony eyes, and some of them are extremely well designed, especially when it comes to the later released dolls (Lil' Secrets Jessicake looks just like Hatsune Miku and I love that so much). As someone who loves character design more than fashion design for dolls, Shoppies are really good in that regard. It's a shame they're not articulated and have moulded on tops, but I don't mind that too much if I'm honest.

i never had shopkins but the ads r still lodged somewhere in my brain once u shop u cant stop !!!

When I was in elementary I was OBSESSED with Shopkins to the point where if I would pretty much do anything for them. Case and point, a kid had a crush on me and I felt nothing back so in exchange for being "together" (as much as a couple you could be in elementary) he bought me a pack of Shopkins. I broke up with him a few hours after receiving them, good times.

chewing on shopkins as a kid was a different experience

I had the ice cream truck, and shopkins mall. I the got the Mike-Raphone shopkin one Christmas as a kid, and my mom jokingly threw it when she saw the name, and said it was a dumb name. I thought it was so funny that it's still a joke we have. I also remember one Christmas our school had a Christmas fundraiser, and all I wanted was the shopkins ornament blind bags. Definitely a hyper fixation of mine as a kid. Shopkins, and Yo-Kai watch.

THIS FUCKING THINGS OH MY GOSH WE HAD LIKE 100000+

10:22 I HAD THAT PLAYSET-it’s what kept me going. I never had a crazy amount of shopkins but I still had a good few and I also had their dolls of the popcorn girl and the cupcake girl

I had the biggest bucket absolutely full of shopkins, so much nostalgia 😭

I remember being 9 and opening my smallmart for the first time Christmas morning and being hi-static. Me and my friends would trade these on the playground all throughout 5th grade…. Those were the times ❤

As a boy, I was obsessed with shopkins as a kid, but I was a kid around the time where toys were "gener neutral" and my parents refused to buy me a shoppie doll, but now that I collect real littles, I healed my inner childhood (Edited: I had many rare shopkins games on a old tablet but it stopped working)

My little cousin who passed away from leukemia loved these, so watching this kind of connects me back to her in a way.

drunken comment, I didn't know moose was australian and that blew my mind. and I also live in mwlbourne and now my mind is blown TWICE

As an Australian, I didn't know they were Australian because the ads had an American accent, so I'd always assumed they were American😅

to this day, i still have 900+ shopkins, 15+ playsets, had 20+ shoppies, shopkins blanket, shopkins lunchkit, shopkins luggage, shopkins clothes, shopkins backpack, shopkins cutie cars, shopkins happy places, shopkins happy meal toys, just shopkins everything !! i still love them to day

This video hits hard as a boy who collected Shopkins as a child.

You and Athena being sponsored by the same company makes so much sense my fav nostalgic KZfaqrs are eating today!!

Tbh it was the Shoppies for me what got me into them 😅 I never really cared about the Shopkins in general the dolls is what got me more motivated to collect them, I remember getting super excited whenever a new character was added I don’t know why but there was something charming about them that made me love them, especially The Little Secrets line. But during the Shoppies run I did notice a sudden change when it came to ‘shop style’ for the Shoppies where they made them more affordable but came with less stuff, and have notice they have released the Shoppies dolls less and less in 2019, and if I am correct I think the last Shoppies doll was made was Winter Frost? but after that it was pretty much over for the Shoppies line. Now for Kindi kids I did not like them one bit not a fan of dolls based off of little kids or baby dolls in general, but ever since Kindi kids was released I think that’s where I knew that was gonna be the end for Shoppies, but I’ll still treasure the good times I had when collecting the dolls.

One memory i have with shopkins besides collecting them was my Toys R Us holding a shopkins trading event for people to trade shopkins with eachother. It was around 5-10 girls all trading shopkins with eachother and literally just having fun with these toys! definitely one of my favorite memories!

Shopkins were my FAVORITE toy growing up 😭 I vividly remember watching Cookie swirl c and being SOO jealous of her collection. I still have them all in a bin.

Who remembers watching cookie swirl c's short movie about shopkins who welcomed Gemma Stone princess to town???? I was deffo too old to watch those videos, 13 maybe?? But i loved them

I'm ngl, as an australian i was never aware if shopkins truly reached far out of here due to how little i ever saw them being spoken about, aside from by very popular youtubers like cookieswirlc at the time. I had a LOT of shopkins growing up, I even remember my first shopkin being one in a childs magazine I got from the smoke shop with my dad. I think a lot of information may be hard to find, or some things may not be heard or, as there were quite a lot of australia exclusive little things that came out with it. I do remember having all the maccas toys and at least 2/3's of every season growing up, too. I stopped collecting in 2019, but i did get a few here and there that kind of went to go sit at the bottom of bags in our storage shed lol. I was into basically EVERY kids toy out on the market tbh, i used all of them to play in unison, and i love how your channel continues to remind me of the things that brought me joy growing up that i'd almsot forgotten about. My collections are all sitting in a plastic tub, or two, and have been for the last 7 years (dad died in 2017, so we had to move and pack all our stuff into storage sheds loll), but i can't wait for the day i open those tubs again and am reminded of that part of my life, and the long list of exclusives i have. Also, correct me if im wrong, but i believe there was actually a regular shopkin of Gemma Stone? Though they may have been australia exclusive, but i think i recall having one. I also had a shopkins blanket, and all of the dolls :D Though, those were from vinnies and salvos (had all the pieces, but also obviously owned by an.. active child lolll). Anyways, I love this video so much, logn comment but oh well.

i also loved shopkins and trash packs so much!! it’s something about both being adorable in their own way, i also love the texture of trash packs ( the stretchy ones) so much nostalgia ! 🥺❤️

Shopkins will stay in my ❤️ forever. I bought sealed Season 3 and Season 6 12-packs few months ago, doesn't matter that I'm 18 years old guy 😂

I HAVE THE BIGGEST. THE MOST GINORMOUS SHOPKINS COLLECTION. When i was younger i would collect them like crazy but would never play with them bcs i thought they didn’t fit in with my other toys, till this day i have the entirety of season 1-6 and most of them from other seasons, when the dolls came out i had 3 of em and i think i gave away most of the play sets that came with them but yea 🎉

Something interesting i don’t see a lot of people talk about is that Mini Brands was originally 5 Surprise. I don’t know if people forgot or just didn’t know but Mini Brands started off as it’s own original thing, probably copied Real Littles or something similar but still thought it’d be cool to point out

NOT COOKIESWIRLC 😭😭. I used to watch her content all the time, and she's made it so far today! Like she's got a VTuber model, and I'm pretty sure she's in an SMP and stuff, like- 👀 she grew up with all of us, also does anyone remember her horses? (If you watched her other channel HoneyHeartsC) THE RUSH OF MEMORIES IS CRAZY 😭🤚

YALL DONT UNDERSTAND HOW OBSESSED I WAS WITH THESE LIL GUYS!!!!

I started collecting during season one when I saw cookie swirl c. I remeber season two coming out and me and my sister begging my dad to go to toys r us. We got there at 9pm and another girl was also getting season two 😂

I always felt like after they kinda got forgotten I was the only person that still collected them as an older teen now 😭I still have so many shoppies and toys nobody ever knows where they’re from

OMG I REMEMBER HAVING THE SHOPKINS MOVIES ON DVDS, I WAS OBSESSED !!! I remember coming home from school and getting on our tv in the living room to watch her !!

i remember in grade school how every girl my age was into shopkins, and you we're publicly shunned if you didnt have any of them. I have a vivid memory of me and this girl playing with our shopkins on the playground and i accidentally lost hers in the gravel and she never talked to me again lol

My best friend and I are on the older end of Gen Z (both born in 1998, she turned 26 in January & I'm turning 26 in August), but we both collect toys and Shopkins did have a chokehold on both of us (mostly her). I recall she started collecting them around 2021 & would give me any double she got (and there were a lot, so when she would get the same ones again she started giving them to her younger cousin too). I swear they disappeared quietly bc we stopped seeing them in stores in the middle of 2023.

I WAS OBSESSED WITH THESE AS A KID OMG 😭 I still have the year-exclusive neon collection that I made my mom buy like a year late bc it feels valuable to me in my heart

The NOSTALGIA this brings me 😆😆😆

Shopkins was my childhood and I was waiting for a deep-dive video on them! Thanks for this video :D

I'm literally so sad that they stopped making the movies and stuff 😔 I loved the movies and how different the seasons were any of the newer seasons are honestly so forgettable in my opinion

I grew up shoppies doll as a kid I was obsessed with bubbleleasha and 2 other dolls one for wild style the other for world tour

when I was little, my grandma used to get bins of oddly spisisfic toys off of eBay. one day she got me and my cousins a bin of used shopkins, (I wouldn't usually point out that they where used but a quarter of them where LITTERLY covered in paint) and even though we where probably a bit above its target audeince, we played with those things every time we visited. I also had a lot of the dolls that are probably stocked away somewhere right now. Fly high, grandma, you where amazing.

Shopkins IS my childhood. My love for them was crazy, i had at least 300 or something. I had stickers for my walls, a bedset, lots of the sets, birthday party, watched every episode of the show, and even clothes. It was a *huge* part of my childhood

Before the trash pack/grossery gang there were Crazy Bones! My little brother had them :) they were solid, not squishy. I have no idea if they’re actually related at all but they’re the earliest tiny collectible guys I remember

As an Australian who was 7 or 8 during Shopkins peak and I had zero idea that moose toys wasnt an American company 😂

Thank you so much for crediting my video! 💕💕This was such a wonderful, thought out, extremely well put together video. Amazing job!! 💕💕

OMG LULA IM SO GLAD U MADE THIS LOVE YOU SM !!

Nostalgia makes my brain very happy. I’m currently sick with the virus and watching your videos makes me feel better🫶🏻

I never fell into the shopkins fandom, but my little sister was SUPER into them, I can't wait to share this with her 💖💖💖

OMG SHOPKINS!!! I REMEMBER COLLECTING THEM WHEN I WAS YOUNGER!! I remember my mom commissioning someone to make me custom Shopkin of Gemma Stone (the diamond one shown in the thumbnail for those who don’t know) and I LOVED IT. I still have bags and bins full of Shopkins along with almost all of the playsets, that’s how much I would regularly collect them

OMG I LOVED SHOPKINS I STILL HAVE ALL OF MINE IN STORAGE

I remember stealing shopkins from this girls school tray😭😭 I was too desperate to add to my collection

Omg, the nostalgia is real. I had literally all of these. Like- no exaggeration I had AT LEAST half of each season. I watched the movies, I had all the happy meals toys, it was intense guys, AND HE BAKING MOVIE WAS MY FAVORITE! I WATCHED IT WVERY DAYYYY!!!!!! Guys I loved these so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I think shopkins are where my love for collecting miniature things really started, I wish I would’ve collected more 😓

Somebody *finally* made a video about this~ Shopkins is my favorite toy of all time. I would draw a ton of fanart, collect them from Season 2 to Real Littles Era (or known Season 14-16- I think and at the time of this time-). to the best I could, and other things related like plushies to other little things. It makes me sad that at my local Target, the “Shopkins” Sign is still there but, underneath, there is a lot of Mini Brands, Miniverse, and other non-related items to them. But, that’s just change and another thing that we grew up with. (I still wish they can some of come back tho-)

I have tonnes of Shopkins, which I've kept forever! They were just so cute, and i still want to buy more of them, and shoppies!

watching this hit me so hard with the nostalgia. i was super into them even though I was like a junior in high school when they came out. still remember passing my learner's permit test and my mom taking me to toys r us to pick out a pack! the shoppies were my absolute favorite part of the line--going through all the seasons just put me back into that place of running around to different stores trying to find the newest doll releases! one of the first displays i put up in my apartment was all of my shoppies, and i love looking at them all the time. this was such a good video! 💙💙💙

i loved watching cookie swirl c and her blindbag/ shopkin vids, thanks for the memories!

I used to have a small collection of these things and one time, my sister (threeish at the time) played with them. The next day, i realized some of them were gone. Did she lose them? Hide them? Steal them even? No, naturally the only possibility i thought of was that she had EATEN them. Of course. Immediately I confronted her, and her, being that young, instantly confessed. We (me and my mom) began interrogating her about which ones she had eaten, with a pile of them nearby. A similar conversation ensued. M(mom): Which ones did you eat? S(sister): this one. She then picks up a silver milk carton shopkin. I… only had one of those, and I told mom that. M: you ate this one? S: yes! M: this specific one is inside your stomach? S: yea! We were at a bit of a loss. My dear, sweet, lovely, perfect, mother then ended up searching my little sister’s poop for a month or so. The worst part? She found nothing and I lost interest shortly after. I’m sorry mom

Shopkins was my whole childhood💕💕💕💕💕 I have a lot of Shopkins and couple some people stole it in my elementary school and it suck like heck

I genuinely would still buy more shopkins today and I am 18 now 😭😭 but I still have all of my shopkins + sets - I’m glad people have things like mini brands now but shopkins will forever be iconic

All I remember about shopkins is Polly Pocket had a clone of shopkins. With little animals mixed with food or objects, like zebra xylophone etc. I can't remember what they were called, but I remembered really liking them.

11:47 OH MY GOOOOOOOOSH you awakened a childhood memory bringing up Roxy. You have A VIDEO ABOUT IT? IT'S TIME TO RELIVE MY CHILDHOOD! You are the channel I'm going to go to for all my childhood interest things. Genuinely I love your content, and I'm glad I started watching! A trip down memory lane with everything you make!!!

I only got like 2 of these things cause I wasn't super into the designs and didn't find them super interesting as actual play toys. But I vividly remember watching unboxing after unboxing of them on KZfaq back in the day. Man how time flies.

This has got to be one of the most entertaining youtube videos I've ever watched 😭 hearing one of my favorite youtubers mention the same youtubers I used to watch when I was younger is WILD (Heavy on RadioJH Audrey) the 2013-2015 toy youtube chokehold IS SO REAL. Another thing that surprised me in this video is that Kindi kids are still actively being seem sold in toystores in my country, so hearing that they seem to not be in American stores is kinda of crazy to me😭 all in all I absolutely loved this video and I'm def planning on finding my old shopkins now

This video brought back so many memories, I had completely forgotten that I still own A Peppamint Kindie Kid doll. Did a little digging through my room and happened to find her! and I can confirm, their eyes are that glittery. Thank you for all the hard work you go through to make these videos and for bringing back my childhood memories!

I LOVE THE SHOPPIES SO MUCH

oh my godddd i was waiting for a video essay on shopkins

I’m so happy you mentioned the trash packs! I loved them so much omg

i was so obsessed with shopkins as a kid to the point my entire BEDROOM was shopkins themed. my curtains.. shopkins. my walls were even painted the like weird snowflake things from on the toy sets. i had the limited edition dolls and so much more it was insane my walls to this day are still painted like that, theres some decals stuck on my wall and hidden behind my tv and posters

NOW THESE WERE MY CHILDHOOD IN A NUTSHELL 😭

absolutely BEGGING for a my little pony video (preferably g3 AKA the early 2000s ponies but g4 is good too)

i was in elementary during the release of shopkins so naturally my younger sister and i were obsessed! personally, i had a LOT. like.. containers full. i had shopkins from seasons 1-7(?)!! i eventually stopped collecting them around 2018(?), and one day i was just like "what happened to shopkins??" i have no idea what happened to my huge collection, but my only surviving shopkin is my pink corny cob..

14:18 I’m so happy that you’ve featured that, I have so many memories of getting happy meals just for the shopkins in them, oh and I had most of what’s shown in the picture, I also really wanted that shopkin drawer for my lol dolls

ah, the nostalgia… i remember some of the only times when me and my brother got along was when we made up stories where our shopkins and grossery gangs would go to war

I would love to see you cover "Most Popular Girls in school" KZfaq series

DUDE THE NOSTALGIA THIS VIDEO IS GIVING ME, Down to the memories of watching radiojh audrey and everything oml

this is genuinely insane to watch. i have probably around 200 shopkins, i used to love these things so much. when i tell you every. second. of this video is so nostalgic to me i mean it. bringing up all these youtubers names that i haven’t heard in years is unlocking so many memories 😭

I remember my friends had a cardboard church for the shopkins and trashys :3

I had a trashpack coloring book LMAOO I remember being obsessed with the way they looked so?? Disgusting? I don’t even know lol

this video just reminded me that i have my entire shopkins collection in a bin. i remember collecting them throughout all of elementary and middle school. i recently graduated high school which feels crazy but maybe i’ll pull them back out and look back at my childhood

Your videos always bring back the best memories!! They make me wish I had friends to talk to about nostalgic toys together 🥲

i miss shopkins

THE SHOPKINS CARS AUGHHHHH I USED TO HAVE LIKE 3 I LOVED THEM
