My Discoveries


My Discoveries 
(Early Gen 2004 - Mid Recent Gen 2017)

In this photo, I'm showcasing two of the earlier-generation pets. Unlike the newer ones, these both feature magnets and have a more muted color palette, which I actually prefer for its simplicity. I find these softer, understated colors really charming. Later on, they also change the poodle mold, which I'll point out in upcoming posts.
In this picture, this is one of the fairly newer pets where the heads were removable and the new feature of swappable bodies and heads was introduced. This is when I started to stray away from collecting them because it was a severe drop in quality. They were more show-accurate but it was basically the fact that what I grew up with was changed drastically and not for the best.

    Those are some of pets I always saw in stories. I really don't see them anymore, however. Maybe they're just not as popular.

What are Littlest Pet Shops?

Littlest Pet Shop (commonly abbreviated as LPS) is a popular line of collectible toys featuring miniature, bobble-headed animal figures.

This comprehensive documentation will explore the evolution of LPS, detailing how these changes have reflected broader trends in the toy industry and consumer preferences.

Generation 7 KX and ES Pets (What's The Difference?)

Generation 7 KX and ES Pets: With modern production and Basic Fun taking over the brand, more experimental ideas and pet production styles have emerged. On the series blind boxes, you can look for codes typically ending in ES or Kx and the quality of the pets will greatly vary. On the Left-hand side is the Kx pet as you can see it looks clearer and has brighter colors. Kx pets are typically a bit taller than ES pets because of the peg mechanism for its bobbling.  The plastics are also different with the Kx pets being made of harder and cheaper plastic. Though on camera it may appear better in a real-life setting you can see that it was produced in a cheaper (or more cost-efficient) manner. Though ES pets generally come out with more pixelated eyes they look more appealing and feel of higher quality they also have a glossy finish over the eyes emphasizing the pet's adorability, as well as having an overall more appealing mold. ES pets have slightly more exaggerated features like a l...
