LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Global phenomenon Shopkins, which launched a collectible craze five years ago, continues the momentum by expanding on the newest gotta-have-it trend: Shopkins Real Littles.

Tiny versions of Popsicle, Good Humor, Klondike, Breyers ice cream, Marie Callender's pie, Morningstar Farms foods and more will be hitting shelves in January 2020.
