Review: L.O.L. Surprise! Biggie Pets

I would never have imagined that L.O.L. Surprise craze would last for so long in our household (and in general). 

L has been a massive fan of all series and ranges, she not only changes toy's outfits or finding out it's features, L also moved to a different level of creativity- role play. Perhaps Youtube tutorials and videos involving L.O.L. Surprise!! helped a little too.

Few weeks ago we have received something that I believe is not widely known just yet, but few videos here and there have caught my eye- L.O.L. Surprise! Biggie Pets (£36.99, available at the most toy retailers).
So imagine L.O.L. Surprise! ball but bigger, including versatile toys and accessories and something even cooler- secret messages hidden all over the packaging and even inside! 

This time there are no layers of surprise to reveal, the clue who is inside the ball is right on the box itself and if you look very carefully you can even spot some features of the pet by looking through an almost see-through ball.

Once the box was not so carefully opened and plastic wrapper removed we were ready to see what is inside this gorgeous ball and inside the box.
Inside the box we found: white frame'd Eye Spy series glasses with pink lens, an accessory that could be a collar or a choker or perhaps a handle for something.
If you remember in previous series L.O.L. Surprise! balls came with different type of handles some looking like a zip well in the new L.O.L. Surprise! Biggie Pets this large ball represents a handbag! Yes it might be awkward to carry but I bet it will be filled with all L.O.L. Surprise! dolls soon.
The Biggie Pet that we received was a very cute bunny called Hop Hop or how L called it at first Bon Bon.

Hop Hop is not just a big bunny it is also a money box and a quirky backpack (yes it even has a ribbon/strap attached to it's tail and some "plastic loops" on the head). Inside the Hop Hop we have found lots of accessories and toys starting from a bone that has a secret message/joke inside and that can be used as a charm for the necklace to "treasure" boxes with kinetic alike sand and some hidden mini pets inside. 

At first I was a little puzzled how our mini pets were a little mismatched from collector's leaflet but after watching some Youtube videos it seems to be the idea. It also appears that inside each Hop Hop you may find completely different mini pets and even different quantities 2 or 3.

The spy theme fits very well within the series, L discovered that by putting large glasses on she can read secret messages or puzzles on the box and even on the Hop Hop's strap aka backpack ribbon.
Other accessories were: wish bone, another choker or perhaps a bracelet, fortune teller, pet scoops, mini glasses for L.O.L. pets or even dolls, mini harness and collar. Some of these accessories come with little loops which can be used if you wish to attach them to the necklace, keychain or a bracelet, you are absolutely not limited in your options!
I have been restricting L's play with the sand from mini crates (as it happens L likes to cover carpets and sofas in it) but Hop Hop has already slept by L's side on few occasions, Hop Hop has been on mini trips to restaurants and generally used around the house as a toy on it's own or as a storage for little L.O.L. Surprise! accessories and dolls. 

Such a versatile toy, which I am planning to keep as a centrepiece in L's toy room. I just love it's pastel colours but I am sure if L had a different pet form the range (Neon Kitty, Hamster or Dog) we would be pleased with it too! Just look at their cute, big eyes!
