While at Toy Fair, I swung by the Alpha Toys booth and checked out their newest licensed property acquisition, Spongebob Squarepants. Featuring vinyl collectibles, plush, toys, and more, Alpha Toys are celebrating the 20th Anniversary of our favorite yellow sponge and his friends. Let’s check out what’s coming in 2019.

Featuring one of four designs, the Spongesicle is a scented mystery vinyl “pop”. I remember getting these popsicles growing up from the local ice cream guy, and rarely did he look “normal” like design number one. Most of the time, they looked like design number three. Each come with a removable display base. I will probably try to collect all four.

Then we have a couple of series of vinyl figures.

First up is the first series of Sponge Pop Culture Pants vinyl figures. Featuring Spongebob and his friends from Bikini Bottom. These smaller sized vinyls will be priced at around $10.

 

Next up is the Masterpiece Meme Collection. These larger vinyls, which will retail around $20, feature famous moments in the Spongbob Squarepants lore that have become viral memes around the world.

 

For little kids, the Spongebob Slimeez Mystery Figure line is perfect. Each of the figures in the series come with Nickelodeon Slime, which you can place inside the figure and squeeze out. Also included is a fun tin showcasing a different Spongebob expression.

 

Rounding out the collection are some other fun stuff for kids, such as plush, hats, a Spongebob Stretchpants and a silly string shooter.

 

Want to pick up any of these for your Spongebob Squarepants collection? Some of these items are available for pre-order on places like Amazon.com, with a release date set for mid-March.

During Toy Fair, Alpha Toys gifted me an Imagination Spongebob Masterpiece Meme, which I will be reviewing next week, so stay tuned.

 

Best Day EVER!
