Yeah, I thought these things were a very awesome concept, and the fact they are going for the boys market as well, is tops. I'd have loved to have had something like this as a kid.
Sweet, my son likes these things that are all the rage in his school called squishies. Almost like the same size/material i believe and they are actually gumball machine things that also come with a code to enter online and play ( sqwishland.com i think )
I look forward to the boy squinkies.

Soupie just made an entry for these at ToyPedia.
Looks pretty sweet so far, for a little girl.
I can't wait to see what the Marvel ones look like!

This is the first time I've been excited for a new mini figure line since Fistful of Power. I'm looking forward to the generic boys line the most. I don't know a whole lot about the girl's line but it looks collector driven which will be a lot of fun.

They are pretty cool, and with the big toy makers shying away from the little rubber guys in the past few years, I am happy we are getting something that might be neat for some of us to collect.
There should be pictures up online of them soon I would gather. I hope they are cool.
Edit: I just emailed them to see if they can't send us a picture or two to whet our appetite. I hope they do. I will post the response up here when I get it.

I saw these in TRU over the holiday, and thought "they really should do these for boys." I am glad to hear that they will be coming out with robots and Marvel and such.

I'd love to see pictures now, if they reply. I suspect we will see something at Toy Fair either way.

Ah, too bad. Wish we knew when in 2011. Hopefully next month we'll find out more.
Well, reading the official Squinkies blog says spring of 2011, so that could be anytime between now and May I suppose. They mention Marvel, Cars 2 and Matchbox, and hint at Transformers, Ninja Turtles, etc.
This could be a fantastic collector's release, as far as toys go.

Thanks for the blog site, I didn't see where they hinted at TF & TMNT, but I would definitely be interested in some non-movie TF ones.

Either way, even if they only do Marvel and generic aliens/ninjas/monsters, I will be happy. Now how to store and display these little things..
