Happy Sunday! I have officially lived in New Jersey for one year today! And I'm so much happier than I was on this day last year. Last year I drove seven hours from Maine in my tiny Prius packed full with all of the remaining belongings from our old house, plus four stressed-out dogs and two small cats. It was a long journey! But here I am sitting on my couch typing up a surprise review, which, if you'd asked me a year ago, is not something I ever thought would happen again.
I really like surprise toys, and I especially like surprise mini babies. I don't collect baby dolls in general anymore, so I'm not sure why babies are so appealing to me in a small scale--and especially with a surprise theme. Maybe it's because babies bring several surprises with them in real life? Or perhaps it's just because mini babies are great little toys, either on their own as something to nurture, or as a fun new addition to a doll family.
In any case, I've reviewed a few different surprise babies over the years, including Zapf Jolly Dollies and the unrivaled Cabbage Patch Babyland Mini Kids--which are still probably my favorite surprise mini of all. But I wanted to see what kinds of mini babies are available on the market today, so I focused on this theme during one of my Target missions. The first surprise baby toy I found was this one, by Zapf and MGA Entertainment:
