Love Sonny Angels? Here are other toys to get for your inner child

Filipinos are undeniably obsessed with collecting toys. This is evident from their bulk collections of items that range from the giant bobbleheads Funko Pops with oversized eyes to the fan-favorite Pokemon cards.

This is also why it didn’t come as a surprise when many Filipinos, especially Generation Zs and younger Millennials, couldn’t wait to get their hands on Sonny Angels when they were first released in the country.

Because of their cuteness and popularity, these toys that are also called “little boyfriends” get sold out almost instantly, thanks to their dedicated patrons.

While waiting for Sonny Angels to be restocked in your local toy shops, here are four other figurines you can add to your adorable toy collection.

Smiski

These tiny, bald, and genderless figurines called Smiskis are curious little creatures who mimic people’s daily lives.

Smiskis come in a series of designs where they are posed while doing certain actions related to various activities and interests, including exercise, dressing, work, museums, cheering, yoga, being in bed, and having a bath. 

These glow in the dark collectibles can be a charming room decoration and are said to bring joy and luck to their surroundings.

Hirono is a boy figurine designed by a Beijing-based artist named Lang in collaboration with Pop Mart.

According to its short blurb on Instagram, Hirono is a child who desires to explore the world with his sense of curiosity and courageous nature.

Currently, this collection has three series: Hirono: The Other One, Hirono: Little Mischief, and Hirono: City of Mercy.

Zsiga

Zsiga is a grumpy-looking figurine that comes dressed in various outfits.

Zsiga is a child born with thorns on the back of her head to protect her from danger. 

Despite her rebellious nature, Zsiga remains tender and childish from the inside.

This Pop Mart product has two series under its brand, which are the We’re So Cute and Walking Into The Forest series.

LiLiOS

Based on Greek mythology’s sun god Helios, LiLiOS possesses a lucid imagination and curiosity, resembling a warm and radiant sun.

He uses these traits as he travels the world while wearing his  precious pair of sunglasses.

LiLiOS currently has two series — the City Wild Boy and the Three, Two, One! Happy Chinese New Year Blind Box Series.
