Hatchimals—they’re the most coveted toy this Christmas season, and also nasty little eggs who need to be punished.
The toy, which I’ve heard is like a Tamagotchi or a Furby, is basically an egg that cracks and turns into a weird bird with glowing eyes that wears a bit of its shell as a cap, and another bit of its shell as a suit. Then it pops all the way out and is just a furry bird. One especially cool (I guess) thing about a Hatchimal is that once it is in its “toddler” or “kid” stage, it will learn to talk by listening to its owner and randomly repeat whatever they say while in autonomous mode.
