Product Description

The playset itself consists of a shopkin house, a doll stand, a Popette Shopkin doll, one large Petkin, two medium Petkins, three small Petkins and three mini Petkins. No secret is made of the fact that for your kid to fully enjoy the play experience, you will need to have a number of other Shopkin collectible figures which are sold separately. In fact on the cover of the pack, you will see pictures that suggest what the Shopkin House Playset could look like if it is properly populated with Shopkin figures that do not come with the playset.

This does not detract from the experience though, as the dedicated Shopkins fan can still have a lot of fun using the Shopkins that comes with the playset. Certainly, deciding what to do with Popette, her furniture and a small army of Petkins is a challenge that will keep your kid busy for hours discovering various ways to decorate rooms and make the house a warm picture of Shopkin happiness.
