Comic Con

San Diego Comic Con has ended and here is what we have learned so far. There were some Hallmark pin/buttons featuring itty bitty characters a few we recognize, but two of note Captain Phasma (Star Wars) and a Batman that resembles the Adam West version. We can confirm the Captain Phasma itty bitty (see link below for picture along with Poe), looks like she has a Limited Edition tag. I have also seen a picture of an Antman and what looks like a movie version Captain America itty bitty (Sorry I can't find the picture).

See Captain Phasma and Poe here

Sneak Peek at 2016 Holiday Barbies!

Just saw these pictures online. They are listed as the 2016 Holiday Barbie itty bittys! On the tag is says 'Special Edition'. The dresses are different. Not sure if they will stay that way. The Barbie ornaments seem to have different dresses as well, so that's a good sign! Itty and Ornamanet Here


Special Offer

Hallmark is having a Buy 2 get 1 free itty bittys deal. Buy any 2 itty bittys and get one of the retiring itty bittys free. It says online and in-store (remember it can depend on the store). I am going to try and see if this works for the Shirt Tales ones (Online Exclusives out the 18th)

UPDATE: The deal only works if you have it shipped to your home. Doesn't work if you have your order shipped to your local store. ALSO The Flash and Tinkerbell are shown in the store to be part of the offer, but that might change at checkout. I ordered a Flash as a free one. It showed it as free at the start of checkout then charged me for it by the end. Ran into a lot of trouble with Customer Service about that.
P.S. It looks like they took Repunzel off the list.

Retiring itty bittys to choose as a free one include:

The Muppets: Kermit, Miss Piggy, Animal or Fozzy
THE WIZARD OF OZ: Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man or Lion
Peanuts: Lucy or Linus;
Pixar: Woody, Buzz or Merida (TinkerBell seems to be part of the offer)
DC Comics: Batman or Superman (The Flash isn't listed, but appears to be available as part of the special offer)
Marvel: Iron Man

Itty Bitty Baby

    You may have noticed the above portion on the 2016 checklist. I have heard that some stores are getting them this month and I have even seen some of these popping up on ebay.com. So here is what we know. There are three different kinds. Blankets($17.95), Rattles($12,95), and Stacking rings($29.95). Below are lists of the characters that I know of and the forms they come in. See picture of stacking rings and blanket below from an ebay auctions (links to auction under the pictures). Another big thing to notice if the Simba and Dumbo. Hopefully that means we will be getting the itty bittys! *fingers crossed* There is also Hello Kitty whose itty bitty is due out this month.

Blankets: Ariel, Nemo, Hello Kitty, Dumbo, Simba, Minnie, Mickey, Superman, Batman, Wonder woman, Pooh

Rattles: Pooh, Mickey, Minnie, Simba, Dumbo
