We had so much fun with our Barbie Squinkies last year that we just had to make more!!  Barbie is back and this time she has lots of cool new things to do and all of her awesome friends came to join her along the way!

Play with Barbie, Teresa, Nikki, Summer, Ken, and their pets Sequin the Poodle, Blissa the cat, and Lacy the Chihuahua!  With the new tiny toys that come with each pack you can pamper the pets, cruise to the mall, or prep for a big dance recital!

Barbie and Nikki just started working at a posh new pet spa.  Help Blissa, Lacy, and their other animal friends get groomed just perfectly by giving each one a bath and brushing out their fur. Show them their new doos in front of a vanity mirror that is just the right size for them!  Once they are all cleaned up make sure the pets get their beauty sleep in their very own cozy bed.

Zoom to the mall with Barbie, Ken and all of their friends in Barbie’s hot pink convertible!  Barbie just loves shoe shopping and this bubble pack shows off one of her favorites.  Make sure to check out their cute new outfits in the super classy three way mirror!  Even Blissa got a hot new pair of shades!

Help Barbie and her friends get ready for their next big performance!  Spend some time practicing on the dance bar and watching their moves in the full-length mirror.  Practice makes perfect and once all of the steps are just right, Barbie can throw her tiara on and get up on the main stage!

Mix and match the all the Squinkies Barbie Bubble Packs to create your own adventures!

Anything is possible when Barbie and her friends get together!

Squinkies Zinkies are finally on the loose!!

For the first time ever, we have released a new line of Squinkies that is not their signature size. Squinkies Zinkies are the super new, teeny tiny, squishy squashy addition to the line of mini collectibles.

At about half the size of Squinkies, Squinkies Zinkies have launched with six unique sets.  Like Squinkies, Zinkies come in their own plastic toy bubble that pops open to reveal a “surprize inside.”  Super cute Display & Play toys give your Zinkies lots to do, with sets like “Snug as a Bug Sunflower” and “Tiny Tea Party Teacups”.  Each of these sets also includes a squeezer and a magnifying glass so you can handle your Zinkies with love and care.  Every pack comes with twelve exclusive Zinkies, four of which are hidden in colored bubbles to make collecting even more fun!

Squinkies Zinkies have all the detail of full sized Squinkies, even though they are smaller than the tip of your pinkie!  The new sets include monkeys, kitties, horses and lots of other cute characters to add to your collection.

To celebrate their release Squinkies Zinkies are running all over our website and hiding everywhere they can!  Visit the bubble bank at www.Squinkies.com/girls and see how many you can find!  They are hidden all over the girls website so make sure to dig through all of the pages and check out some of the fun stuff we have going on while you’re there!  Make sure the ones you count are Zinkies though, they will have a yellow “Z” over there head, just like this:

You’ll have to look really hard to find them all, Squinkies Zinkies are so tiny they can hide almost anywhere.  Do your best and then leave us a comment to let us know how many you found!  We’ll keep all of your responses secret until February 10^th, and then we’ll reveal how many Zinkies have been hiding.  Good luck!

UPDATE!!!!  There were a total of 19 Squinkies Zinkies hidden on www.Squinkies.com.  Congratuations to Wendy and her daughter, you two found all of the Squinkies Zinkies!

Thanks again to everyone that entered.  We always love hearing from our fans.  Keep an eye on the blog, because there will be another contest coming up soon!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Here in Squinkies land we are buried under bunches of snow.  For us, that can only mean one thing – it must be time to start thinking about Valentine’s Day!!! The holiday of love is only three weeks away so we thought it would be the perfect time to share some fun ideas for great ways to tell people “I love you” with Squinkies.

1. Hide new Squinkies Zinkies in a box of conversation hearts so your sweetheart can really find a “surprize inside!”

2. Set up Squinkies in a heart shape around someone’s breakfast to start their Valentine’s Day off right!

3. Who says an engagement ring can’t have Squinkies inside?

4. Collect all of your red, pink and white plastic toy bubbles and hide Squinkies around the house just like Easter eggs.  Just because it’s not Easter doesn’t mean it’s not fun to hunt around the house for Squinkies!

5. Give a romantic, customized Squinkies T-shirt.

6. Make heart shaped cakes or cupcakes and place Squinkies on top as decorations.

7. Make your own Valentines by taking a themed photo of Squinkies with your digital camera and printing out small versions for all of your friends.  Here is an example we made last year!

8. Download our FREE Squinkies-themed Valentine’s Day cards to share with friends and family.

These are just a few ideas we could come up with.  We would love to hear YOUR ideas too!  If you have a special way to say “I Love You” with Squinkies, please leave us a comment to share.

Hey Squinkies fans, welcome to 2012!  We hope you had a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends.  We had such a great 2011 and cannot wait for all of the awesome new Squinkies that will be arriving this year!  We tried our hardest to listen to what you wanted and hope you are just as excited as we are.

This year is all about getting dolled up for Squinkies.  Whether they are taking a vacation, going to school  playing dress-up or throwing a birthday party, Squinkies are starting 2012 in style with new themed bubble pack series 19 through 24.

To go along with all of their new looks the Squinkies will be getting their own Tiki Hut (complete with beach) and Hollywood Limo.  After a long day at the beach, your Squinkies will be able to rest in the brand new Jungle Surprize Dispenser. This ultra-adorable dispenser has a brand new feature none of our other dispensers have had before, not only can you store your Squinkies inside, but it has a vine for displaying Squinkies that can be attached to the dispenser or to your own walls and doorways.

We’ve been keeping busy with the ever-expanding world of Squinkies officially licensed characters, too. We’re really excited about new Squinkies characters from Barbie, Hello Kitty, Cars 2, Marvel Universe, Power Rangers, WWE, and SpongeBob SquarePants.  New favorites from Disney Princess, Minnie Mouse and Toy Story are also on their way.

Squinkies Boys just keeps getting bigger and better!  This year we will be releasing the CRAZY CRANE, a Squinkies dispenser like no other!  Works just like the classic arcade game. Grab your chosen Squinkies bubble with the moveable crane and let it drop through the chute.  Getting your Squinkies out will be an awesome game in itself.  Fill up your Crazy Crane with our new themed bubble packs like Cosmic Defenders, Myths and Monsters and Commando Force for hours of fun!

Finally, the biggest (smallest) news for 2012 is our introduction of Squinkies Zinkies!  Each set comes with 12 adorable Squinkies Zinkies each with their own tiny bubble, a super cute Display & Play toy and special Squeezers that help you handle your Squinkies Zinkies with love and care.  2012 will bring quite a few more Squinkies Zinkies and new homes for them to hide in.  Squinkies ZINKIES will be able to have a tea party, play hide n seek, even chug around in their very own train.  Being tiny ROCKS!

Keep an eye on our Facebook page to see when and where other Squinkies fans spot any of the new products and be sure to check out our website, www.squinkies.com for more items coming soon.  So much squishy, squashy fun to come this year!  What are you most excited for?
