Sorry about the quality fsdsdgdfg he almost looks like he's been Photoshopped on the blanket lol


Anywhat


Meet Prancing Leafyhollow (also known as Zipper), the Animal Jam Sidekix fox! I've wanted one of these lil' dudes (it was my dream toy) since 2014, so a little over 6 years. I got him in December of last year but was never able to make any decent photos of him. But shEESh here he is finally! :'D Whoever invented Sidekix was an absolute genius...these little guys have magnets in their paws and can flip into a fun little ball! On Amazon I remember looking at a review that said this was a "limited attention-span type thing for my ten-year-old"....gee I'm a legal adult and this guy has entertained me for three months! XD

I haven't made a personality for Zipper yet but I'll probably develop him as time goes on. EDIT: I have three of them now. The other two are Skipper and Scarlet.



Not for sale.

Besides the discontinuation of the AJ Sidekix, it makes me wonder what ever happened to the company that made them? I felt like they closed down cause they didn't get enough sales from the regular Sidekixs...

Me too! I was thinking that they got bankrupt or something...? Seems odd because those toys were ingenious!

Yeah, their recent posts on Facebook were from 2016 and then all of a sudden no longer active.

Maybe if it had enough sales and was popular, I can imagine The Pokemon Company letting them make Pokemon-themed Sidekix..

They were pretty popular from what I remember....but bankruptcy doesn't depend on how popular a business or product is, unfortunately. If they came out with Pokemon-themed Sidekix they'd probably be a hit!

ahhhh those things are the cutest!! congrats on getting one c:Β 

it's honestly so sad that they decided to discontinue them. i was able to get all of em when they were still manufacturing them (they were pretty expensive though ngl), but lost the croc oneΒ

Thanks!


I don't think AJHQ's discontinuation of them was intentional, actually. The company (Zoobies) hasn't updated their site since 2013, and they don't respond to questions on their Facebook page or anywhere else. That's cool you were able to get all of them! This guy was pretty expensive and I was hesitant to pay full price, so I offered a lower price instead.
