Opening Mystery Blind Bag Emojiez Series 1 Plushiez, Buddiez and Squishiez

The Kids love emojiez

We received a bunch of Emojiez toys from Fun 2 Play Toys for free in exchange for an honest review. Opinions are 100% our own.

The kids help me open, unbox and review a bunch of blind bag Emojiez, Buddiez and Squishiez. The kids loved opening these but all Andrew wanted was Smelvin, the Poop Emojiez character. Emojiez are character that are fun to collect, trade and each tell their own story. Based on your favorite existing emoji’s, the Emojiez characters play on the digital emoji trend, bringing these beloved characters to life.

These are some cute little figures. The price point for the Buddiez is very low, only $1 each and a 3pack for $1.99. That is a great point for an impulse buy at the register. The figures are well done, too. They look nice and have a little trading card that tells you their name and story. The kids also liked the Plushiez figures and Andrew gave Allison the “Money Tongue” one, which was actually vomit. His heart was in the right place. You can see what else they thought of the figures in the video below.

The Emojiez line is made up of 12 characters with unique personalities that include Romeo, the hopeless romantic, Knuckle, the champion fighter, Donny who loves to live large and Smelvin, who stinks but is lovable nonetheless. Emojiez will be available as clolectible plus and vinyl characters known as “Plushiez” and “Buddiez” along with crafts and accessory sets to come out in 2017, building on the excitement of Emojiez.

Eva Reading to Andrew

Andrew got up early this morning. He gets up early almost every morning. This morning he was up and he was upset that he couldn’t go downstairs at 5:45am. He woke us all up. He woke Eva up. But she took it upon herself to calm him down. She went into his room and picked out the Curious George book of stories that we have and she read to Andrew.

I don’t write much about making childhood magical, or how to be raising a reader or anything like that. I usually just write about things matter-of-fact-ly. I’m a meat and potatoes guy, I don’t wax poetic or get whimsical. What I saw and captured in the moment above was my kids having a childhood. They didn’t get out the tablets or anything like that. Believe me, we have plenty of those and the kids know how to work them all. What my daughter turned to in this moment was a book. And Andrew sat in rapt attention to every word that she read. So, I guess that by reading to her almost nightly, We’re also reading to Andrew nightly, Eva has an appreciation for reading and she is ready to share that with her brother. Something magical about that, in my eyes. Continue reading Stay Curious Kids
