Hi everyone! It looks like Target leaked the new Lalaloopsy that MGA has been hiding from us. ^__~ Haha, there goes that whole 919 followers on Twitter deal! His name is Patch Treasure Chest.  From MGA's latest press release regarding Lalaloopsy dolls:"Patch Treasurechest™ – Sewn on Date: Sept. 19, “Talk Like a Pirate Day!” The very first ‘boy’ Lalaloopsy™, Patch Treasurechest™ was made from a real pirate’s clothes. He’s a clutterbug, who loves to collect shiny things. He also likes to travel, but he has trouble following maps. He has a pet parrot. (SRP: $24.99)" I hope he gets released soon. Now that the word is out, maybe they'll announce an official release date. |

Awww, he's cute! You guys were right! But that doesn't quite match the sillouette that was shown on the other thread. ;D

Aw, that's sad! Maybe there will be a future boy release that your son will like instead. =D
It looks like MGA is broadening the Lalaloopsy color palette. Hmm, I wonder what other directions they'll go in...

Yes ... Patch Treasure Chest ... there he is, after all the anticipation. And Banana, who swore she would never like a lala boy and would never want to own one, took one look at him and completely LOVED him. Go figure.
Don't even get me started on our adventure today after Target's website showed him as being "Available" in our local Target store ... don't even get me started ...
Anyway, we don't have him.
I'm with you guys ... I think he's cute, but kinda dull. His pet is really cute though!

I'm with you guys ... I think he's cute, but kinda dull. His pet is really cute though! I think the reason why Patch showed up as available at your Target store is because all Lalaloopsy dolls have the same UPC (code) when they're scanned. So if your store has any Lalaloopsys at all, the doll will show up as being in stock. The only reason I know this is because I made the same mistake when I was looking for Mittens, and one of the employees at my Target explained how that Lalaloopsy code system worked! |

Ooooh!! Now I get it. Thank you, Happily Candied.  Everything kinda makes sense now, in light of that information. Our Target did have plenty of other lalas on the shelf, so they would definitely show as being Available. I guess the poor lady at our Target didn't know enough about the system to explain it to us ... we had her completely baffled. "There's no boy Lala-oopsie dolls. All they have is girls." *sigh* |

The more I think about it, the more I feel they just missed the mark with Patch. He needs a more pirate-y outfit (like a puffy shirt, vest, zigzag cut black pants with a red scarf belt, and black and white striped legs) and different colored hair (like green). That's just my opinion, oh well.

I like him. He's adorable. I would have liked green hair too, though. (I really want a girl Lala with mint green hair.) His parrot looks like a green chicken that got poked in the eye. LOL. ... But it's cute, too. I'd like to have pirate dude as a mini.

Nope, no worries! You didn't miss out. Target's site hasn't even had Patch in stock yet. The site is just preparing for the item's arrival. Online stores often update their systems in advance. He'll be out in March! |

I hope they do make him as a mini. I think he's cute, but only have space for mini ones!
