Littlest Pet Shop Carry Case

• About this item.
• Littlest Pet Shop (often referred to as LPS) toys are produced by the Hasbro Toy Company and have a great following from collectors, children, and adults alike. LPS figurines' large "puppy-dog-eyes" are hallmarks of the Hasbro collectible pets. In addition to the bobble-headed figurine animals, the Littlest Pet Shop line includes myriad houses, play sets, accessories, and even a human doll (named Blythe). Littlest Pet Shop animals range from anteaters to zebras and everything in-between (and fairies too!). A number of websites (including Hasbro's website) assist collectors in cataloging pet collections as well as identifying imitation vs. real LPS pets and accessories..

One look at these cute little guys and gals with their "puppy dog eyes" will melt even a Grinch-like heart! Littlest Pet Shop Pets (and their accessories) are great fun to play with and/or collect. With over 3,000 LPS pets available, many children and adults alike find collecting, trading, and playing with the bobble-headed figures great fun (especially with the myriad accessories available). Collectors and sellers/traders have found a market for the rare/limited edition/limited in production pets, so many of the older, rare pets (and even the newer ones!) have great after-market value as a "collectible." What’s unique to Littlest Pet Shop figurines is that in this day of automation, each LPS pet remains hand-painted (after more than fifteen years in production!), so much of the fun when receiving a new pet is identifying any very slight difference(s) between your pet and your friends’ pets. Today, over 3,000 Littlest Pet Shops are available--though Hasbro retires/discontinues one generation as the company begins a new generation (the discontinuance of one generation often renders specific pets from previous generations quite valuable--hence the large market for "collectible" pets--many of which are only available through platforms such as ). After purchasing the line of toys from Kenner, Hasbro re-designed and re-introduced Littlest Pet Shop bobble-headed figurine animals, accessories, houses, playsets, etc. in various "generations" beginning in 2005. Many (if not all) of the first generation pets included a red magnet on its foot, then a gray-ish blue magnet or a hexagon-shaped hole in the foot, a hole in the shape of a hexagon and today merely a very small hole.
