PLAYFOAM Pals by Educational Insights are a brand new and truly unique series of toys. Figurines are one of the most popular kinds of toys in existence and molding foam has also become increasingly popular over the past few years. Hence, a new line by Educational Insights called “PLAYFOAM Pals” has made a clever move in combining both play patterns. Moreover, the characters can be disassembled and mixed and matched to create all new hybrid characters.
Product Details
In total, there are twelve unique characters in Series 1 (which is the only one on the market at the moment) and six unique colors of Playfoam: pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The characters are hidden deep inside the Playfoam so to get to them, you have to reach into the pod, pull out a plastic bag, and claim the toy.
Playfoam Pals come packaged in moldable foam that comes in six bright colors.

Cons and Drawbacks
These are blind bags, so you will never know what you’re getting. Hence, it will be easy to get a duplicate. If you mold two different hues of Playfoam together there will likely be some color transfer. PLAYFOAM may also transfer color stain to fabric, carpet, and plastic. It should be kept away from open flame.
Playfoam Pals are “blind boxes” so you won’t know which character you’ve got until you open the container of foam!

Each kit includes two mystery pods and is priced at $7.99 per pack making them quite affordable and easily collectible. To learn more, visit the official website of Educational Insights and its Amazon page.
