I cant believe this wasnt mentioned, squinkies had a online game like webkins, the squinkies came with a code in the capsules that you could get play the character in game. It wasnt very popular when I played in 2012-2014 but you could decorate your house and play mini games, and walk around squishland.

I actually really loved the army set. It came with the usual tweezers but were "military themed", had a rollback car that could fit a couple zinkies, and the magnifying glass was cool too. And, they could be put away easily in the grenade. I also liked the variation and the amount of figures they had. I remember there were a few that were silver or black, some where snipers and some had two big bazookas. I played with those for hours. I would set them all up on my couch and make them go to war, and play with them like little dolls, too. I think these figures were really nice. They gave me an outlet to do more "girly" things that I otherwise wouldn't have gotten to do. They were soft and squishy and had faces, despite them seeming like a stereotypical "boys toy" in all other regards. I was never really allowed to have too many stuffed animals, but I could play around with these little guys in my bed before I went to sleep and make up stories about them. lowkey the zinkies army set might have opened the door for me being a little too into people in airsoft gear

To elaborate on the mention of the coin-op capsule toy machines being popular in Japan: Japan is actually where those originate! They're called "gachapon" or "gashapon" (both are correct) over there, with "gacha/gasha" representing the sound the crank makes as you turn it and "pon" being the sound of the capsule coming out. (This is also where the term "gacha", as in "gacha game", originates) They were invented in the '60s by a man named Ryuzo Shigeta--he was inspired by an American machine he saw that released candy and toys, but he found the mechanism kind of haphazard and came up with the idea of putting the toys in capsules to streamline it. Additionally the Pokeball comparison isn't as far off as you think--the earliest ideas for the Pokemon games took heavy inspiration from gachapon, and the original name was planned to be "Capumon" (short for Capsule Monsters) rather than "Pokemon" (short for Pocket Monsters) If I remember correctly this was changed for copyright reasons? but it's worth noting that in the first few games the Pokeballs looked and seemingly functioned a lot like gacha capsules with them coming apart into two pieces, though since then they've been portrayed as one unit with a hinge and featuring a button

I haven't talked to her in like years since then so I really hope she's doing okay now.

SQUINKIES WERE MY CHILDHOOD. I loved them!!!! I miss them so much, and I really wish they were still around. I had so many, definitely nearly 500. I miss my blue dragon squinkie that I lost years ago, my yellow deer, and especially, my red fox. I haven’t seen my red fox since I was five. If only I had kept them in a box instead of spreading them around like a maniac. I remember when squinkies came back as squinkie do’s (the newer line) I collected those too, tho was unable to collect enough before they too were discontinued. I could say more, but that would be rambling.

omg my old elementary school has an old thing that we all call the Squinkie Incident!!! Essentially, one of my friends had like 50 bajilion squinkies all crammed into the giant gumball case to bring to show and tell, and so at gym we went to play with the toys (cuz the teacher let us do that). Well one kid, ONE JERK from our class ended up football punting the case out of my friend's hands, and it caused the case to explode, making squinkies go EVERYWHERE. And cuz they were so rubbery and bouncy, some of those squinkies bounced FAST, hitting kids and causing chaos. pretty sure some kids are still finding squinkies in that gym....

when i was a kid, i had a squinky of a whale and i was playing with it in the sink when it got sucked down the drain. for YEARS it stayed in there until 2019 when the sink got clogged and my dad fished it out. he asked me if i wanted it and i said NO! i shouldve kept it!!!!!!!!

I only had one set as a kid, and it was the Cinderella wand with the little Cinderella and 2 mice. I chewed on that Cinderella for a LONG time and she disappeared in the couch until we found her all over again. The mice were a lost cause 😂.

36:24 you are right! It doesn’t really sound like a pokeball BUT pokeballs are based off the Capsule balls in Gatcha Machines. That same inspiration for Squinkies so you got that right!

I had so many Squinkies as a kid! I actually carried a drawstring bag (that would’ve had jewelry inside originally) to school with my Squinkies. I’m pretty sure they were my first fidgets now that I think about it. I had a ton of Disney sets. I know I had the Little Mermaid one, the Tangled one, and the Cinderella one. I also had an Aristocats one. Maybe I had the Princess set? I had a lot of random Squinkies too. I think we traded them at school and some of them were given to me as a gift. I remember in third grade that I would tie yarn around my neck and hook a Squinkies ball as the charm and have a Squinkie inside. Man, those were the days.

29:08 yes! It’s great to see a toy company actually acknowledging the adult collector market. A great example of what NOT to do is rainbow high. They changed their theme to be about these ugly slime squishies, removed second outfits entirely and added glitter to them to appeal to kids when a large amount of their sales came from adult collectors. They’re not pretty unpopular (the glittery versions)
