- brandy3 50 Comments

**SHOPKINS SEASON 3 HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN RELEASED. Toys R Us has them, and Walmart and Target will follow soon.

Is everyone in on the Shopkins craze yet?

My kids have been in on the craze for a few months now and I can’t tell you how hard they are to find.

I was able to visit Moose Toys at Toy Fair 2015 and got to see what is new with Shopkins At Toy Fair.

Shopkins goodies you can get now are Season 2 5 packs, 12 packs and blind baskets. Plus season 1 if you can still find them.

They introduced 1 new play set with season 2 the fridge, which has been very hard to find. Some friends actually found it at Toys R Us a few days ago.

They also have a new board game and puzzle, I found at Toys R Us.

Now onto Shokins At Toy Fair!

They didn’t want to much revealed as everything is going to be more of a surprise. There are pictures floating around the internet though of some new possible characters.
But I can tell you Shopkins Season 3 will start being released in June 2015.

They will have 3 new exciting play sets for season 3.
One being a Ice Cream Truck complete with accessories

Meet Hello Barbie and More From Toy Fair #Barbie #NYTF

Disclosure: No compensation was received.

Mattel is releasing a whole line of Barbie, revolving around girl power.

Meet Hello Barbie:

Hello Barbie uses a speech recognition platform, to have a two way conversation.

DSCN0198

Hello Barbie requires wi-fi connection and can be used for a hour before needing to be charged. Rechargeable batteries are put in the dolls legs and can mount to her charger.

This doll sounds like so much fun. I did ask: If a child says a curse word or something inappropriate, how will the doll respond? She said that the doll would respond with Lets not talk about that right now, or thats not nice. Parents can set up the software to avoid certain conversations. If you don’t want your child talking about relationships or boys for example. You can put that in your parent controls and Hello Barbie will avoid that conversation.

Look how cool Hello Barbie is.

Hello Barbie doesn’t have a official release date yet, but will retail for around $75.

Mattel is also releasing a lot of other cool Barbie dolls and toys.

New Fashionistas:

The new fashionista dolls:

New fashionista dolls are fashionable of course, but they have expanded to include different skin tones as well as hair colors and more. Girls have been asking for a bigger variety of dolls and now you are getting it.

DSCN0216

These dolls are available now and retail for $9.99

New Dreamhouse and Camper:

Barbie’s dreamhouse is back and has a better design.

For the first time in her Dreamhouse, Barbie will have a garage that opens and closes to fit her dream car. They have also updated the elevator so it is easier to use. You just pull a small lever up or down. Barbie’s dream house will come complete with all the furniture including interchangeable pieces. A end table can be switched with just a few pieces to become the bathroom sink or the kitchen stove. It will save space in the Dreamhouse.

Barbie’s Dreamhouse will be available in June 2015 for $199.99

Barbie’s camper is much like her Dreamhouse. From the outside it looks like a ordinary camper, but can pull out to be a 3 story house.

Tandoor Chef is independently owned by an American-Indian family who’s main goal is to continue to share traditional Indian cuisine with American diners. They offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options for the health-conscious and 13 of their meal are under 300 calories per serving!

I was able to Try Tandoor Chef this week, and was surprised. I have never had Indian food, but it was good. Really spicy for me, but good. I definitely had my tums afterward.
My husband who loves Indian food said it has a unique flavor and very easy o prepare. Beats going to a restaurant, and saves you a ton of money.
