Chocolate eggs with a surprise have long been a favorite treat for children and adults. In addition to a delicious dessert, transformers or collectible toys are included in the kinder, which the manufacturer launches in a series: a collection of hippos, ducklings, smeshariki, and lion cubs.

For a collector, whether an adult or a child, it is very important to collect the entire series, while I want to save money and not to buy eggs that will not bring a collectible copy of the toy.

Kinder with a toy has more weight - is that so?

This statement may turn out to be true, but for the acquisition of chocolate eggs on the basis of the principle of greater weight, the presence of sufficiently accurate weights nearby is required. The difference in weight between an egg and a collectible toy is very small, so you need to carefully weigh several kinder, choosing the most difficult ones to purchase. But there may be annoying mistakes.

Find a toy from the collection by knock

There is an opinion that toys from the collection, when shaking a chocolate egg, emit a characteristic sound of a rolling glass object, this sound emits a special high-quality plastic from which collectible toys are made. Prefabricated parts of the designer, which have a small weight, make a soft, dull sound when shaking.

This method assumes that the buyer has a developed ear for music, but he is also unlikely to help - some collectible toys are packed in soft paper. Packed figures occupy almost the entire space in a plastic capsule and do not make noise.

Buy a whole pack of chocolate eggs - is there a guarantee to get collectible toys?

Many people think that buying a whole box of kinder is an absolute guarantee of getting toys from the collection. In fact, this assumption is far from the truth. Only about 30% of eggs with toys are laid in the box, while the toys can be of the same type, of the same kind.

No one knows what happens with a box of eggs in a store. It often happens that the remains of products from several boxes are put together for convenience in one package. With what prizes the eggs were left is unknown. The percentage ratio of filling the big and small boxes with valuable prizes is the same.

How to find label labeling prizes

Chocolate eggs with a surprise are wrapped in a foil wrapper, on which the manufacturer indicates a lot of useful information about the product: weight, composition, lot number, name, barcode. Studying the markings will help you learn a lot of the information you need, including information about the attached toys.

Attention! Below, immediately below the barcode, the manufacturer indicates a marking consisting of a series of numbers and letters. The top row of numbers ends with letters.

There are two options for the letter designation:

• Two letters in the marking - mean that exactly those toys that collectors really want to find are hidden inside the chocolate egg. Of course, this can not serve as a guarantee that the purchased figures will not have the same figures, but the principle itself will help to choose the egg with the figure of a certain series.
• Three letters in the marking - a variety of surprises can be hidden in the bowels of the chocolate: transformers, puzzles, molded plastic toys, various little things, but there cannot be any desired toys from the collections.

When buying chocolate eggs, you can apply all the methods: studying the packaging, weighing, shaking, but then the whole surprise effect will disappear. But a chocolate egg was invented in order to have a mysterious surprise.

How to choose a kinder surprise with a toy: video

Probably, almost all of our readers are familiar with “Kinder Surprise” - a chocolate egg with a surprise containing inside a plastic container with a toy or souvenir, which are developed by both our own and invited designers. Over the long years of the existence of this brand, such chocolate eggs were made by many companies around the world.

1. The trademark belongs to the Italian company Ferrero. The production of chocolate eggs by this company began in 1974.

3. Kinder surprises sell and buy on 5 continents in 60 countries

4. The entire Ferrero product line for children is called Kinder. For this reason, the word "kinder" (kinder) is an integral part of the name of a chocolate egg. But the second part of the name, the word "surprise" is translated into its analogue, depending on the country where it is sold. So, Ferrero's chocolate eggs in Germany are called “Kinder Uberraschung”, in Italy and Spain - “Kinder Sorpresa”, in Portugal and Brazil - “Kinder Surpresa”, in Sweden and Norway - “Kinderoverraskelse”, in England - “Kinder Surprise”, Well, in Russia - "Kinder surprise"

5. For countries with a hot climate, Kinder Surprise eggs with toys inside are produced by Ferrero in a less “fusible” version called Kinder Joy

6. To date, "Kinder surprises" have become popular not only among children, but also adults who collect toys from these eggs. Collecting has acquired a fairly serious scale. At online auctions, prices for rare types of toys can exceed 1000 euros. In February 2007, at an eBay auction, a collection of 90 thousand toys was sold for 30 thousand euros

15. Over 30 years of existence of Kinder Surprise, 30 billion chocolate eggs were sold

You can also buy Kinder Surprise separately for a boy and a girl, if you want a gift that matches the gender of the child.

What they don’t collect - coins, badges, scarves, cars, and recently toys from kinder surprises. By the way, toys from kinder surprises are very suitable for collecting. Firstly, they are produced in thematic series, secondly, the small size allows you to design the collection in various ways, thirdly, the missing items for the collection can be bought without problems using the Internet, fourthly, while toys from the Kinder are not expensive, and there is a tendency to increase their cost.

Today, toys from kinder surprises are quite popular among “family” collections. Of course, basically the family collection consists only of those copies that have come across in the last couple of years. But more and more there are “stubborn” people who, in principle, must collect complete series. Buying large quantities of chocolate eggs is not an option, there will be too many repetitions, and sometimes you can find the last toy only on the “hundredth egg”. As an option - buy the necessary toy or exchange for repetitive ones.

Recently, a certain price level has already been formed for certain toys from Kinder, which can be safely attributed to collectibles. For the most part, these toys were released back in the 90s, and today they can only be bought.

Consider the prices of toys from kinder surprises that are valid at a given time:

Metal figures (Swiss, hussars, Romans, etc.). The cost of one figure is 60-90 rubles. If something else went to the figure in the kit, then the full kit costs another 20 rubles more. It is metal soldiers who today are leaders in demand in the market

Various vehicles (trains, cars, motorcycles, etc.), depending on the mass and time of release, the price is 50-80 rubles. The condition of the toy must be at a high level.

Various thematic serial whole figures (hippos, penguins). The price is around 50 rubles apiece. Shabby, heavily played, bitten instances are better not to sell

Various whole figures of recent years (such as "Masha and the Bear") cost around 30 rubles apiece

Various prefabricated thematic figures of recent years (all sorts of princesses, animals, etc.). The average price is 20-30 rubles

Various "functional" toys of recent years (key chains, spinning tops, etc.) - 10-20 rubles apiece

Due to the increasing interest in toys from the "Kinder", as well as the availability of their purchase and exchange, this type of collection is very promising. Prices for some toys are growing quite rapidly. I can confidently say that another ten years will pass and toys released in the early 90s of the last century will cost the price of not the cheapest collectible coins.

Kinder Surprise is a chocolate egg confectionery containing a small toy inside; originally intended for children. Toys are developed by both our own and guest designers and (for the whole time of its existence) were made by many companies around the world.

I am not even thirty years old, but I already agree that before the grass was greener, the trees were taller, and the toys from Kinder Surprise were more interesting. Hippos, elephants, winter penguins, dinosaurs at a construction site - Ferrero chocolate egg toys were so thoughtful and high-quality that they were passed on to children and grandchildren, and the collections were sold for decent money.

In 2018, I don’t want to buy Kinder surprises: a child opens a foil wrapper in anticipation of a miracle, sees a cheap plastic trinket and throws it away.

And I'm just throwing money away. 2018 Kinder Collections is:

• Barboskins - figures on a stand unlike cartoon characters;
• little animals Natuns;
• marsupials and water inhabitants, not like real animals;
• kinderino with balls;
• ninja turtles;
• cartoon characters Masha and the Bear.

Against this background, other brands make more worthy toys, for example, Thomas and friends.

Or chocolate eggs with funny dogs (Sunny, Sweet box):

In 2018, Kinder Surprise celebrates its 50th anniversary, and in honor of this, the manufacturer creates a boring collection consisting of Kinderino and other Ferrero toys.

In my opinion, only in 2014 the company released something worthy - assorted figures of the nineties in a new version - hippos, crocodiles, dinosaurs, elephants, penguins ...

If you miss the quality of the Kinder, I suggest looking at my collection of chocolate egg toys, which I gladly presented to my child.

Kinder surprises early nineties

My acquaintance with toys from kinder surprises began in 1992, when the Die Happy Hippos collection appeared - deck hippos.

My figures are more than 26 years old, their accessories have been lost and the paint has worn off, but they still warm me with the warmth of memories and surprise me with quality.

Probably better than these hippos - only hippos in Hollywood from the Die Happy Hippo Hollywood Stars series.

A year later, Ferrero released a collection of frogs. Funny amphibians on skates and skis sculpting snowmen. Remember this frog in a white skirt?

In 1994, a collection of Kinder was released, which I remember well - bar penguins.

Parents went to the bazaar and exchanged repeated figures for those that were missing, bought penguins and delighted their children.

The quality of the toys is decent: my penguins are 24 years old, and they still delight with their pretty appearance. Chipped paint is a consequence of long games and a careless (unfortunately) relationship: I am sure that neat collectors have kept their figures in perfect condition.

Beach elephants from the Kinder old collections are fans of surfing, ice cream and leisurely relaxing on the sand. Next to them are detective foxes, lovers of detective stories and puzzles.

The next series of kinder surprises from 1995: sharks. Bright blue mother-of-pearl predatory fish as if in a fairy tale about Aladdin: rich, calm, peaceful.

Who does not remember the dinosaur builders? A lazy worker snacking on a sandwich, a sloppy dinosaur caught in the paw with a hammer and a caring nurse, an intelligent foreman and a hardworking stacker ...

Winter hare figures are one of my favorites. Bright, funny, with a mug of hot tea, skiing and sledding.

In my collection of kinder, there are a lot of unpaired single figures and different series, which I still did not manage to collect or change:

• hares
• crocodiles;
• artisan gnomes;
• happy turtles;
• lions
• musical instruments;
• egyptian cats.

But very old toys have been preserved:

• guardsmen;
• sumps;
• double figures.

age test: who remembers

Any toys from the kinder in my collection are animals with children: dogs, cats, chicken, pandas, rabbits. They are so similar to real ones that I regret that I did not collect all the episodes.

Millennium Collection

Since the beginning of 2000, something went wrong, and Kinder surprises ceased to please with interesting toys made of chocolate eggs.

The Happy 2000 series was disappointing, and the line of Asterix, vampires, snoopy and pigs drowned out the desire to spend money on kinder surprise.

We more often began to buy chocolate eggs from other companies, for example, Parsley, which came across funny toys from Soviet cartoons:

• Wait for it;
• Prostokvashino;
• Parrot Kesha;
• Crocodile Gena and Cheburashka.

Soon, these collections were replaced by a cheap series of new cartoons, and I stopped paying attention to “Parsley”.

Should I buy Kinder from new collections?

Kinder surprise was created to give joy to children: it’s not for nothing that chocolate eggs have been produced for fifty years.

Still, I will sometimes buy this toy for my child, but I would like the quality of the material to return to the formula of the nineties, the figures become as versatile as before, and the kinder chocolate remains delicious.

And what is your favorite collection of kinder from childhood?

When buying a surprise kinder, you always want to find the missing toy from the collection inside. But more often than not what you expect comes across, so you have to buy more and more chocolate eggs. But we hasten to please you - in fact, when buying a kinder, you can resort to some tricks, which will be discussed later in this article. After reading it to the end, you will learn how to choose a kinder with a collectible toy.

How to search

Kinder surprise chocolate eggs, in addition to their pleasant taste, entice adults and themselves with their secret, as they contain interesting toys from different collections and series: ducklings, hippos, lion cubs, etc. And for any collector, it is important to collect the collection at the lowest cost, i.e. buying only those kinder where the missing toy is hidden inside.

By weight

Some claim that eggs with a toy from the collection weigh more. This makes sense, but the difference is so small that to accurately determine whether there is a toy in this kinder or not, you will need accurate scales nearby. However, even this technique does not guarantee you that the desired exhibit will be inside.

Knock

It is also believed that collectible toys shake eggs emit a very characteristic sound, similar to rolling a glass object. This sound is achieved due to the fact that the toys from the collection series, as a rule, are made of high-quality plastic. And for example, the details of the designer, whose weight is not so big, when shaking the eggs will make a quiet sound.

Of course, this method of checking the kinder has the right to life, but only buyers with developed musical ear can use this verification method. However, this may not be enough, because some serial toys are packed in special soft paper. Packed in this way, the toy occupies almost the entire space inside the plastic capsule, therefore, when shaken, it makes almost no sound.

Is buying an entire package an option?

Many collectors simply do not know how to choose a kinder surprise with a serial toy, so they buy a whole box of chocolate eggs, believing that in this way they are guaranteed to receive the entire collection. In practice, this is rare, because often in the box is only a third of the toys from the collection. Therefore, in the end, you still have to buy single Kinder in search of missing exhibits.

When choosing a large box with Kinder surprises, keep in mind that in the store sellers can mix chocolate eggs from several boxes on their own, in order to prevent the buyer from buying one whole lot in one purchase. Mixing toys, sellers, in fact, force collectors to return to their store and spend money on acquiring kinder surprises again.

Marking Search

Each Kinder chocolate egg is wrapped in a special foil wrapper. On it you can find various information about the product: its composition, weight, batch number, barcode, etc. If you study this marking, you can find out a lot of useful information about what awaits us inside this egg, namely, what toy lies there.

If you want to know how to choose a collector's kinder, be sure to look at the marking, which consists of numbers and letters. The manufacturer applies the marking immediately below the barcode.

Options for lettering in the marking:

• 2 letters in the marking - inside such an egg are collection toys. Naturally, you may come across the same exhibits from the same collection, but the toy itself will certainly be from a certain series of characters.
• 3 letters in the marking - in such capsules there can be a variety of toys: from transformers to various trifles. There are no serial toys from the collections (hippos, Bremen Town Musicians, etc.) in kinders with this marking.

Now you know how to choose a kinder with a collectible toy. Of course, these methods do not guarantee you that the missing toy will appear inside the yellow capsule, however, you can narrow your search to the series of exhibits you need. But keep in mind that such a detailed analysis of the chocolate egg and what is inside it will remove the whole effect of surprise and the joy of the pleasant surprise that children and adults experience when opening another chocolate egg. Indeed, for this they were created so that there was a certain mystery and surprise after opening the package.

In 2018, Kinder Surprise celebrates its 50th anniversary. In honor of his birthday, Kinder organized various events (in winter and spring), and by the beginning of the new school year he released a new collection of toys "Kinder 50 years" - it is called "Kinderino and Kinderina." What is this series of surprises for children?
