Can I pick which character I get?

No. Each dumpling comes hidden in a red mystery container, so the character is random. Buying several is the only way to improve your odds of completing the set.

How many characters are there to collect?

Seven: Penguin, Reindeer, Elf, Snowman, Polar Bear, Gingerbread Character and Peppermint Character.

What does it feel like to squeeze?

The exterior is soft and stretchy, and the inside is a sugar-style squishy filling. It is made for squeezing and fidgeting rather than rough pulling.

Is it safe for young children?

It is a squishy toy with a filling, so it is not for children who still mouth toys. Check the age guidance on the packaging and discard it if the exterior tears.

How should I clean it?

Wipe the stretchy exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air dry. Do not submerge it, since water can get into the filling.

Yes for a small holiday gift or stocking stuffer, because the red mystery container makes the unboxing part of the fun. Skip it if the recipient wants a specific character.
