Moose Toys captured the hearts of many with its tiny Shopkins and it is now introducing a new line of functional miniatures called Real Littles that includes small-scale locker toys. The fully functional micro-collectibles appeal to kids and collectors who want adorably sized versions of working items. Already, the line has introduced mini backpacks and fashion-forward handbags, and now old-school school lockers are being reinvented.
Like school lockers, these toys are customizable, and their functions can be enhanced with working accessories. Real Littles Lockers include extravagant surprises like rugs, chandeliers, stickers and stationery, plus working locks and duffle bags.
The toys promise to be especially popular with kids who have made the switch to learning from home, virtually, full-time, and miss being able to use lockers to store their personal items.
