Best Miniature Novelty Toys of 2025

"The 5 Surprise Toy Mini Brands Series 3 by ZURU really brightened our home, especially with two energetic boys around! My oldest, a little guy gearing up for first grade, was beyond excited when I gave him this pack. I love creating art with unique items, so I was just as eager to see what we’d uncover together. Unwrapping the mini collectibles was like opening a gift within a gift, and the look of joy on his face was priceless. We discovered some really fun miniatures, including tiny Hasbro and Tamagotchi toys. The mystery element added to the experience, reminiscent of when I started my backyard garden—always a delightful surprise! However, I found the 'rare frozen moments' part a bit unclear, creating some confusion. Also, my husband noted a few miniatures could pose a choking hazard for our two-year-old. Overall, this ZURU pack has been a hit in our home!"

"I can't tell you how much fun it is for the kids to open these and see what they discover inside. It makes for a great gift!"

"I was thrilled with this Series 3 surprise mini brands set! The mini toys are absolutely adorable. As a collector, this set is a must-have! I was especially excited to find the Transformers and My Little Pony miniatures. I highly recommend this set!"

"My kids really enjoy these! Perfect surprise for our road trip. The toys are adorable and of decent quality, plus they're easy to open, which brings smiles every time."

"These are such a fun treat! Each ball has five individually wrapped surprises, and I love the nostalgic feel. They're perfect for collecting or adding to a child's dollhouse."

"I bought these as a gift for a nine-year-old, and she was absolutely thrilled with them. It's always nice to see a child light up with joy over a present!"

"I absolutely loved these blind boxes! They're perfect for both Harry Potter fans and crafters. The miniature potion bottles and accessories are so detailed, and it was a delightful experience to create my own potion. I was thrilled when my daughter asked for the Potions Class set for Christmas!"

"As a fan of miniatures, I found this product to be well put together and charming. The kit came with everything I needed to brew my potion, and it even doubles as a display case. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality, especially the glass vials! Highly recommend for collectors!"

"I got these as a gift for my girlfriend, who is a huge Harry Potter fan. When she opened it, her excitement was priceless! She got one of the potions she really wanted, and I loved seeing her so happy. I ended up ordering two more as stocking stuffers!"

“I absolutely loved these mini books! They are super cute, and it even came with a mini bookshelf! My sister loved these books too. It makes an amazing gift!”

“We purchased these for our daughter who is an avid bookworm. She is 12 and was so happy! These look like real copies of the books, just super tiny. If you use a magnifying glass, you can see that the pages are really the novel copy, which provided hours of fun!”

“I really have been wanting these for some time now. I was really excited to finally be getting some. Unfortunately, they just don't live up to the hype. First, there are only 3 books. The covers are nice, but after the first page, none of the rest of the pages are remotely readable.”

"These are perfect for my 8 to 9-year-old. The pieces are tiny but detailed, and while I think they are a little overpriced, they are still worth the money because my kid was extremely happy. They are so cute, and I had no missing pieces."

"I absolutely love these! The attention to detail on the minis is impressive, and they are well-crafted replicas. I’ve opened over 100 capsules and still haven’t found a common mini. It’s exciting to unbox and discover new ones, especially the real metal cryptocurrency coins. The damaged minis are actually more collectible, which is a fun twist!"

"My granddaughter is collecting these and adores their size and realistic appearance. They are very durable and have been a hit with her!"

"I find that Amazon offers the best price for these miniatures! They are so cute and the quality is superb! I enjoy how easy they are to put together, making it a fun experience, even if they are a bit mini."

"I absolutely love these mini brands! They provide incredible details and are very true to the full size. Even though they're a little spendy, the excitement of opening and trading them makes it worth it. The kitchen items are especially adorable!"

"I was thrilled to receive my Mini Brands Garden Capsule! The tiny plants and tools are so well-made and the assembly process is a blast. This set is perfect for anyone who loves miniatures or wants to encourage creativity in kids!"

"I find this craft to be so adorable and enjoyable! The LED light shaped like a chef's hat is a delightful addition, and I appreciate that the balls are different. The instructions are straightforward, making it easy to follow. However, it's not ideal for very chunky fingers, so having some tweezers on hand is helpful. Overall, it's a great little project!"

"I secretly enjoy these crafts just as much as my daughter does! They serve as perfect incentives for her morning routine. I squeal with delight every time I see the cute components. While they dry faster than others I've tried, they are a bit pricey. Yet, I can't resist buying more until I finally get that adorable ramen piece!"

"I gifted this to a child who absolutely loves tiny items. They managed to create a beautiful little cake that fits perfectly with their Calico Critters set. I was genuinely surprised by how cute and well-made it turned out. Everyone was impressed by their creativity!"

"I ordered these for my daughter’s Barbie, but they were a bit too small. However, they fit perfectly in a 1:12 scale dollhouse."

"My niece is a huge fan of mini brands. She uses the accessories for her Barbies and I’m thrilled with how realistic everything looks, especially the KitchenAid blender!"

"I was really looking forward to these, but I found them a bit underwhelming. If you’re lucky enough to get one of the detailed items, that’s great, but many lack the quality I expected."

“I absolutely love the Squishies! This 28-pack of kawaii cat and animal squishies is perfect for both kids and adults. They are super cute with vibrant colors and adorable designs. The slow-rising feature makes them incredibly satisfying to squeeze, and they serve as great stress relievers. I bought them as party favors, and they were a huge hit!”

“As a teacher, I wanted to find little desk pets for my students. These are just adorable! Every child found one they loved. They’re a good size and have proven to be very durable, even with the 6-year-olds. They do lose their stickiness quickly, but they don't leave any residue.”

“I purchased these for a classroom treasure box, and the kids absolutely loved them! They are cute and a great buy!”

“I absolutely love these surprise mystery balls! They were packaged very well and arrived quickly. My toddler and I had a blast opening them together. Such a quality product that will last for many years!”

“I think I had more fun opening these than my kids did! They remind me of Garbage Pail Kids from my childhood, which is a delightful nostalgia.”

“My 9-year-old son is obsessed with these! He was thrilled to get one of the rare liquid ones (the ‘Ice Teeth’). It truly made his day, and he couldn’t wait to show it off to his friends!”
