Hatchimals
Type: Product
As of November 2026, Hatchimals has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Stuff You Should Know (Dec 2025). Used as a modern example (2016–2018) of intense demand and alleged scarcity marketing by manufacturer Spin Master.
Hatchimals is a line of mini-figures produced by the Canadian toy company Spin Master. The flagship toys are mini-figures that feature an egg. Pressing a heart on the egg "hatches" an animal or fairy inside. When the line was introduced, the toy was a robotic animal—representing one of various species—that "hatched" itself from an egg.
