Hatchimals CollEGGtibles Season 3 - Review

Hatchimals CollEGGtibles are tiny little critters, waiting inside speckled eggs, waiting to be lovingly hatched by children. They are so much fun to hatch and even more fun to collect. Noah loves collectibles and Hatchimals CollEGGtibles are a firm favourite of his, they are so cute though, we can't resist them.

Hatchimals CollEGGtibles season 3 has been just as popular as the previous seasons, introducing us to over 100 new characters to collect! Noah was delighted to receive some more Hatchimals to review, included in the bundle. Included in our review box was; a Hatchimals CollEGGtibles Season 3 1 Pack (RRP £2.99),  a Hatchimals CollEGGtibles Season 3 2 Pack and Nest (RRP £4.99), a Hatchimals CollEGGtibles Season 3 4 Pack and Bonus (RRP £9.99) and the Hatchimals CollEGGtibles Season 3 One Dozen Egg pack (RRP £24.99). What's great about these prices is that there's something for every budget, whether it's for a present or a pocket money treat.

Having reviewed Hatchimal CollEGGtibles a couple of times in the past, Noah wanted to hatch them all differently this time. He asked to open all the packs, put the un-hatched eggs together and then crack them one by one. We did this by hand, by rubbing the heart until it changed colour, then by pulling apart the shell. We also used the Hatchimal CollEGGtibles Hatchery Nursery from a previous review (highly recommended) to hatch a couple too.

There's so much delight to be had when it comes to discovering which critters you'll find inside the eggs, and I think that season 3 adds more excitement because each Hatchimal CollEGGtible has a twin, squad or best friend. 

A new favourite of ours is the limited edition 'fuzzy' called Shimmering Girreo, who is from Shimmering Sands. He looked so cute, curled up in a ball fast asleep. We discovered him in the two pack with the nest, so it was only right for him to rest up inside it.

The One Dozen Egg Carton comes with 10 eggs, 2 hatched CollEGGtibles and a hard plastic egg carton. It's been very popular with Noah and I also think it's great because the egg carton can be reused. It's the perfect place to store some of Noah's CollEGGtibles.

Our Hatchimals CollEGGtibles collection has now grown thanks to Spinmaster. In total, we had 17 eggs to hatch and we didn't find one dupe! Instead, we discovered 4 sets of twins, a couple of best friends and a multitude of limited edition and rare characters! We even found an ultra rare Petal Deeraloo, who is now our all-time favourite! We hope that there'll be a season 4 (and 5, 6, 7 and 8) so that we can continue to enjoy these fantastic collectibles.

Hatchimals CollEGGtibles Season 3 - Review

Hatchimals CollEGGtibles are tiny adorable creatures that are hidden inside eggs, waiting to be hatched. Hold, hatch and play, they are utterly adorable and so much fun to collect. We love surprise toys and Hatchimals CollEGGtibles are a favourite of ours. We've been lucky enough to collaborate with them a couple of times and last year we reviewed the fantastic Hatchimal Hatchery Nursery. This is a great playset for children who love them just as much as we do.

Hatchimals CollEGGtibles have now returned with series 3, bringing over 100 new characters to collect, enough to hatch a whole new world. We were delighted when we were sent some products from the new range.

Our review bundle included; Hatchimals CollEGGtibles Season 3 - 1 Pack - RRP: £2.99, Hatchimals CollEGGtibles Season 3 - 2 Pack - RRP: £4.99, Hatchimals CollEGGtibles 2-Pack Cloud Egg Carton - RRP: £4.99 and the Hatchimals CollEGGtibles Season 3 – 4 Pack - RRP: £9.99. With prices starting at £2.99 there's a pack for every occasion or for a pocket money treat.

Just like series 1 and 2 the new series of Hatchimals CollEGGtibles are presented in colourful speckled eggs and are waiting for someone to help them to hatch. To hatch them you simply rub the heart on the egg and wait for it to change colour, once it's changed from purple to pink it's ready to hatch. Then all you need to do is give the egg a little squeeze to make the first crack. It's so exciting to see which CollEGGtible will be waiting inside.

"Hatch Friends Forever!" is the tagline for season 3 as there's a brand new theme running throughout the series. Each new Hatchimal CollEGGtible has a best friend, squad or a twin! This new element adds even more excitement when it comes to hatching the eggs as you may find not one but two critters!

It didn't take long for us to find out first set of twins, pink Penguala twins! I think both Noah and I squealed in delight when we saw that twins were nestled up inside! Twin's are a little bit smaller than regular Hatchimal CollEGGtibles, so they need extra care not be lost. They have little wobbly heads and have special poses and gestures which make them the cutest CollEGGtibles ever!

Our favourite from all that we hatched has got to be Petal Alligator from Petal Path, who is part of a squad. Noah's decided that she's the Mummy of all the rest of the CollEGGtibles and she's the one in charge! We had no dupes in our season 3 bundle, a lovely mix of characters with two sets of twins and two squad members too!
