The Hatchimals will be born as either a Pengualas, Draggles, Burtles, Owlicorns, or Bearakeet "species" - the latter three are available exclusively at Walmart, Toys "R" Us, and Target, respectively, according to TIME - and they'll sing a rendition of "Hatchy Birthday" as a greeting, as well.īut before kids ever have the opportunity to see their Hatchimals grow from babies to toddlers to adults, they need to get one. The fuzzy creatures are sold inside an "egg" that "hatches" when a child plays with it for about half an hour. The new Spin Master toy first went on sale in early October, retailing for $59.99 each, and they truly are a heightened hybrid of a Ferby and a Tamagotchi. And because Hatchimals are appropriate for ages 5 and up, there may be some first-graders out there whose Christmas or Hanukkah gifts are worth a small fortune. Except Hatchimals haven't spent much times on the shelves, either, meaning that adults who want to get ahold of these interactive "pets" may have to shell out some serious cash to gift them to lucky kids this holiday season. Tamagotchis and Ferbys flew off the toy store shelves and enthralled us a generation ago, and now those sold-out must-haves have been replaced with the newest craze. ![]()
