To say I was surprised by the contents would be an understatement . . .<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15185\" title=\"squinkiesboys01\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/squinkiesboys01.jpg\" alt=\"Squinkies for Boys including Marvel, Hot Wheels, Cars 2\" width=\"420\" height=\"571\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yes, I got a monster collection of the new <a title=\"Squinkies for Boys\" href=\"http:\/\/www.squinkies.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Squinkies<\/a> toys for boys. The original series was a huge hit with all the cute, squishy babies, kids, and pets. My daughter still plays with them. To let boys in on the action, Blip Toys has introduced a new line of more &#8216;boyish&#8217; themes featuring pirates, cars, Marvel characters, skateboards, aliens, spaceships, etc. The Marvel characters were done very well and as a once-avid comic book reader I could clearly recognize the chubby mini replicas.<\/p>\n<p>As I don&#8217;t have any nephews nearby my only test subject for these was my daughter. While I don&#8217;t have the most girly daughter in the world, she was not too interested in these. Well, I take that back. She did enjoy the Cars 2 set and quickly opened all the plastic bubbles, including the &#8216;mystery&#8217; ones. The detail on the little figures was great.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15186\" title=\"squinkiesboys02\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/squinkiesboys02.jpg\" alt=\"Squinkies for Boys including Marvel, Hot Wheels, Cars 2\" width=\"290\" height=\"154\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-15187\" title=\"squinkiesboys03\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/squinkiesboys03.jpg\" alt=\"Squinkies for Boys including Marvel, Hot Wheels, Cars 2\" width=\"290\" height=\"154\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I felt that some of the Squinkies were a bit &#8216;rough&#8217;. Army tanks, skull-shaped pirate bases, street thugs, and other such characters and accessories seemed a bit over the top to me. Does appealing to boys mean it has to involve violence? Is that just the sentiment of a daughter-only mother? Maybe, but even if I had a son I would be very selective of which items were keepers and which would be disposed of. There were even a couple of &#8216;iffy&#8217; ones in the Cars 2 pack with rapid-fire machine guns painted on the side of one car.<\/p>\n<p>These new Squinkies allow boys to now enjoy the fun without all the pink and fluff. With tons of variety they are sure to find several favorites and have a blast!<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013<br \/>\n\u25ba <strong>Giveaway closed, winners announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/?p=15451\">here<\/a>!<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"><strong>WIN IT!<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Three (3) readers will win their own Squinkies &#8216;for boys&#8217; set.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Set #1 contains a pirate playset, a skateboarding ramp playset, and a pack of Squinkies Series 1 (top photo)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Set #2 contains a spaceship playset, a pack of Marvel Universe Squinkies, and a pack of Squinkies Series 2 (bottom left photo)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Set #3 contains a car playset, a pack of Hot Wheel Squinkies, and a pack of Squinkies Series 3 (bottom left photo)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15188\" title=\"squinkiesboys04\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/squinkiesboys04.jpg\" alt=\"Squinkies for Boys including Marvel, Hot Wheels, Cars 2\" width=\"420\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"><strong>To enter (mandatory):<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Tell me which set is your favorite and who you would give it to.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"><strong>For additional entries leave a comment for each you do:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">&#8220;Like&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cookiesandclogs\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cookies &amp; Clogs on Facebook<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Subscribe via <a title=\"Email Subscribe\" href=\"http:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=cookiesANDclogs&amp;loc=en_US\" target=\"_blank\">email<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Follow <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/cookiesANDclogs\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cookies &amp; Clogs on Twitter<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Re-Tweet this post once a day using the &#8220;tweet&#8221; button below<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Giveaway ends 10\/9\/11 at 11:59 PST.
