Tell me about the moshi monster figures the dcs are swapping (moshling monsters?)

[MrsFogi]

The dcs seem to have acquired a few moshi monster tiny figures from (very kind) friends. Can someone tell me where these are sold in rl and on the internet (do they come in packets like the little lego figures or are they in some other format)? Also, are there gazillions of them to collect?

Not sure where you mostly get them from -dm got dd some in a pack of four from Asda. And yes, there are millions -a girl at my church collects them, she appears to have an infinite number.

They come in either the packets like the lego mini figures (so you don't know which one you are getting) or in larger packets of 4 or more where you can see most (but not all) of the moshlings you will be getting.

Yes, there are around twelvty billion to collect, made even worse by the fact that some figures are available in multiple colours, like the super rare (or so I'm told) silver and gold versions.
