— December 5, 2024 — Pop Culture
Dreams, the company behind Sonny Angels, has officially announced that the new Smiski Hippers will be launching on October 2. Smiski's are described as "curious little creatures that love hiding in small spaces and corners of your room," and have gained popularity among Gen Z consumers engaging in micro-spending trends. Arriving in multiple adorable poses, Smiski's are designed to glow in the dark.

The new Hippers allow consumers to stick their Smiski to any surface using the adhesive. For Gen Z, the top of an iPhone is the ideal spot to showcase a Smiski figure while texting or scrolling.

The new Smiski Hipper boxes contain six regular types and one secret, inviting consumers to collect all of the unique variants.
