Superheroes aren't your thing? Well Target and Toysmith have you covered with a dollar bag of twenty Disney-esque Princesses!
When looking for the dollar bags of Toysmith Super Heroes at Target, I spotted these Fairy Tale Friends and picked up a bag for my intern. It's great to see this type of Little Plastic toy set aimed at girls (or anyone into something other than men in tights or men in uniform for that matter.) In fact, I have seen bags of ponies in the past which I really didn't look too closely at, but I presume those are also made by Toysmith. So there's something for almost everybody!
Like with the bag of Super Heroes, the Fairy Tale Friends assortment includes a mix of six different sculpts in each of three colors (pastels this time.) Let's take a look at the ladies, shall we?
This one is clearly based on Cinderella. You can tell by the missing shoe.
The set includes two fairies. This one is basic and not based on any specific fairy. I do appreciate that she is sculpted not only with a base, but a character relevant flower base. Smart design.
The set also includes two mermaids. Not sure what the logic is here, are mermaids and fairies just super popular? I mean, there are about fifteen bajillion Disney princesses now, where's the Pocahontas, Mulan, Merida, Snow White, Tiana, Jasmine...ahem...can you tell I have daughters?
Mermaid number two. Again, it's cool that they are sculpted with themed bases - this time shells.
This one seems like Princess Aurora, aka Sleeping Beauty, to me. She looks pretty drifty, like she pulled an all-nighter at the local tavern.
Finally and inarguably, Tinkerbell. Another flower base, and a cool pre-flight pose. This one is my favorite. That is, if I were into fairies and princesses. Ahem.
These Fairy Tale Friends can be found at Target in their dollar section (usually near the entrance or exit depending on which direction you are heading.) Get some!

From the Dollar Bin :: Little Plastic Super Heroes by Toysmith
I learned about these dollar bags of little plastic Super Heroes showing up in the dollar bins at Target from the Little Weirdos blog and just had to get my hands on them.
The reason? They're awesome of course! But more than that, they include a pseudo-Batman minifigure which makes them absolutely irresistible!
As if that weren't enough, they also included a pseudo-Robin!
To round out the team, there's a guy who looks to me like the original Golden Age Atom, a guy who depending on his plastic color makes a passable Incredible Hulk, a guy who is either Cyclops or Geordi LaForge, and a kinda' Superman.
The bag includes 20 figures, but to get all the Batguys and Robindudes in all three colors I had to buy two bags. They are pretty cheaply made, and many of the figures in all the bags I saw had a lot of flashing around their seams. Additionally, many figures have black flaws in the plastic, so just look closely when you get your bag and be sure you're happy with the figures you find. Or buy a couple bags.
These things make great Halloween treats, party favors or stocking stuffers. Go get some!
