MGA Entertainment's L.O.L. Surprise, known for its exciting unboxing experiences, is introducing a new dimension to play with its new L.O.L. Surprise! Eye Spy range by inviting kids to find clues, crack codes and unlock secret compartments. With a fresh, interactive layer of adventure woven into the experience kids already know and love, the L.O.L. Surprise! Eye Spy Series Collection makes reveals feel less like opening a package and more like completing a mission.
There are eight characters in the collection, including Secret Spy, Supa Sky, Rainbow Q.T and Foxy Grrrl, and once unboxed, these characters can be dipped into cold water for a transformation that reveals their theme, like Spy, Superhero, Rock Star or Fairy.
