Moose Toys is hosting its first-ever nationwide Shopkins Swap-kins experience, scheduled for August 15 from 12 to 2 p.m. Fans and collectors across the country can gather at their local Toys “R” Us store to swap characters and build their collections.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet fellow enthusiasts, trade characters with other fans, participate in a coloring activity, and receive a collectible poster and trading cards.
“Shopkins is a global phenomenon with a passionate fan base,” says Paul Solomon, the co-CEO of Moose Toys. “We look forward to celebrating the Shopkins craze with unique experiences for our loyal fans. Like Shopkins, swapping parties will engage and connect collector communities nationwide.”
To date, more than 100 million Shopkins characters have been sold worldwide, and limited edition characters retail for upwards of $1,800 each on resale sites. Fans everywhere are invited to join the conversation and share their swaps on social media using #ShopkinsSwap.
