I just bought five, they come in green pods like eggs, and the zelfs inside look kinda... dodgy?

It's a major supermarket chain in Australia. They just don't look exactly like regular zelfs.

I'm really new to buying these, and I can't find any info on these pods or whether they're fakes or not :/

I can place a photo here maybe if I am allowed?

I can't find a full list of the characters... but I can't find the names of the ones I got anywhere.

Rein doe
Gar-girl
Frostelle
Fairy Bloom
Peak a Boo

They sound and look fake, and they're smaller than other lil zelfs I have.

I wonder if anyone else has had any experience with these?

I can't find any information on the site about them... or anywhere.

And they look a little less well made than the previous series.

Do you have official info on series 6?

Thanks, I'm really new to the forums so I didn't see that thread.

But what it shows in the thread is what I have gotten.

Including the characters. Why hasn't the site updated?! That's rhetorical, obviously you wouldn't know the answer to that, since you don't work for them ^_^

I am still not sure, these look smaller and the paint quality isn't nearly as nice as season 5's zelfs. :/

One of mine had half its hair missing!

I replied in the Series 6 thread, but I'll copy/paste here.

"The smaller ones don't lack in 'quality' as such, I don't think. Just remember that they're a lot cheaper to buy, a lot smaller, and therefore, the paint jobs are not as detailed, and the hair feels different.
They're definitely NOT fakes!

"

Do you have a photo of the one that you say was missing the hair?

dreamcatcher: Too bad, I missed the offer! But I bought Tressa's playset and Crystal Dreamz Sugar Bunny! I'm considering buying Moona and Moonicorn as well. I've got some special plans for S.B., hee hee... Oct 19, 2016 14:09:40 GMT -5

Starkle: Oh great dreamcatcher! Yasssss to the Crsytal Zelfs, you'll love them all I'm sure!

dreamcatcher: More news, more news! My local Asda stocked Design-Your-Zelfs!! Eeeek I'm so excited and still over the fence wether to get one or not! They are a bit on the expensive side and they're quite large, but i think they are some of the nicest looking Zelfs! Nov 5, 2016 12:56:06 GMT -5

Starkle: Hey Dreamcatcher, whilst you're over in the UK I would take advantage of finding the Zelfs you can't find so easily in Spain! I love the Design Your Zelf, its cute and you can practice making new Zelfs on it too!

Starkle: Its almost time for our Zelf of the Year rankings! Hope you'll be able to join in! Jan 10, 2017 13:16:59 GMT -5

Starkle: Well another year over, we have our Zelf of the Year! Yay! Thanks for participating!! x Mar 8, 2017 19:43:30 GMT -5

Starkle: Is there any interest in the Zelf Rankings this year??? Jan 24, 2018 8:01:31 GMT -5

Steelcry: Wow its been awhile not having a pc is troublesome... I would join in on the Rankings Starkle if your doing it this year. Mar 4, 2018 23:09:15 GMT -5 *

Starkle: Thanks Steelcry! I'm afraid it won't be much fun with just two of us though! But One day maybe Zelfs will return!?! Mar 7, 2018 19:35:44 GMT -5

ariane: HI does anyone know if zelfs still have some value if they are NOT in their box? Moose toys don't make them anymore, I wonder if they will increase or decrease in value. First time posting here, hope I am doing it right! Mar 21, 2018 22:47:41 GMT -5 *

Starkle: Hi Ariane! Welcome! There doesn't appear to be much interest in Zelfs at the moment, so I would say they have decreased in value, but you never know they may increase in time??? Good luck! Mar 25, 2018 7:09:48 GMT -5

Garny: Late, but I'd also be up for Zelf rankings if enough people come back! Sept 18, 2018 15:03:36 GMT -5

Starkle: Thanks Garny! If enough people came back then we could for sure! However its so quiet on here at the moment.... Sept 23, 2018 16:46:59 GMT -5

Garny: I still keep popping in every now and then

tabbykit: Hi strangers! I lucked out and got a package full of zelfs from a goodwill auction-- and UH; these are CUTE. So cute. Jan 18, 2019 22:34:10 GMT -5

Starkle: Hi Tabbykit! I have my Zelfs on display and still love looking at them, they are cute indeed! Mar 18, 2019 20:05:45 GMT -5
