I’m certain that this will the ‘must ‘have toy for autumn and the top of many Christmas lists this year. Party Popteenies are the latest addition to the collectables range of toys from Spinmaster. Many little girls will already be familiar with the LOL collectables and Party Popteenies will no doubt be one of the covetable toys this year. Popteenies are little dolls contained within a pop-up container, similar to the traditional party poppers that are essential to any New Year’s party.
Party Popteenies Double Surprise Popper
The pack contains two party poppers – one with a doll the other with an animal. Each party popper is sealed in plastic which is easily opened by a tear strip. The doll or animal is released from the platform by pulling out a small cardboard tab and then twisting.
It takes a few twists before it pops and parents will be relieved that the confetti and streamers that burst out are larger than normal and easily picked up. The base of each party popper opens to reveal a small parcel with a handbag, glass or similar item that would be found at parties. The accessories are very tiny – so not suitable for under 3s.

Party Popteenies Poptastic Party Playset
Bright and colourful the party play set was a hit from the start and offered plenty of play value. Easily assembled with a little help from an adult to pop the parts into place, it takes seconds to set up and is ready to go.
A glitter ball and balloons shine over a spinning dance floor that comes complete with a centrepiece cake. Hiding inside is one of the Popteenies ready to burst out and make the party swing. There’s a balcony overlooking the dance floor that has interchangeable backdrops for the party photo and a lift that takes the party girls up and down.
The set includes a party table and other small accessories – and a ‘special guest’. Our little testers had lots of fun with this and played with it for hours. This one gets a thumbs up from me.
