I have been advised by Character Online that it is now end of the line for the original four Zhu Zhu Hamsters of Chunk, Num Nums, Mr Squiggles and Pipsqueak.
That’s a bit sad because even though their branding has changed, I still think of those four pioneering hamsters as ‘Go Go’ Hamsters, because that’s all the world could talk about in 2009.
It isn’t clear whether Cepia LLC are stopping production, but Character will definitely not be bringing any more into the UK to wholesale to retailers. I suppose that it balanced considerably by the fact that there are 20+ new Zhu Zhu Pets characters coming on stream this year with nearly all being UK bound
Therefore any existing UK stock of Chunk, Num Nums, Pipsqueak and Mr Squiggles will be the last imported and available for retail sale. Therefore, if you were thinking about building up a collection, then do so now as it is likely that prices will rise again with scarcity.
I understand that Character Online have already sold out and they will therefore be removing them from their daily stock update to us.
There are still a number of retailers presently advertising stock (shown below). Beneath the retailers stock, I also show current eBay listings.
