I wished MGA would have taken their time on doing an Easter mini, instead of repainting a Pillow Featherbed body and using a Jewel Sparkles head with a bow instead of a crown and then adding Peanut Big Top mini accessories and Dots little chick all colored in different paint.
They should have come up with something new and made it as adorable as all the other minis before this Cotton...she is cute but really could have been much cuter being a new character all together.
Feels like the days of Frankenstein Mini Lalas have arrived.

I agree daisyblossom, I'm still glad I'll have her but she would have been very cool if they had spent a little more time on her. I mean seriously whats with the popcorn?

I kind of do agree daisyblossom. I mean why the popcorn? Should've been an Easter Basket w/some painted eggs...I had to have her because I am a collector and she is cute but still it would've been much nicer if she had more Easterish acces.!

While I do agree, I wonder if this being a Target exclusive may have anything to do with it? I know that MGA would have to make the store exclusives also, but maybe they are saving the new ideas for the main line.

I wonder now... why at all a store exclusive mini ? Why could they not just have sold this one everywhere. This makes Cotton ( though cute but not what it could have been ) harder to find,
and she is now just like a Special Edition mini that people have to hunt for, especially if they are die hard collectors and want to keep their collection on track.
I would have loved it if Cotton at least had some Easter eggs, a basket and a little cute and adorable bunny and the chick, but Popcorn ? That's for a movie night. I wished they had planned this one out a bit better.
I still bought her for my children and to have for my collection, but really wished they had done this one as a brand new character. The reused body parts and wrong accessories just isn't right.

It almost feels like it was a "store exclusive" because they just slapped together a quick character and they wouldn't be mass producing it.

Yeah, I was wondering about the pink popcorn, too. I wonder if it's supposed to be some weird-looking cotton candy or something. *Scratches head*
I don't mind Dot's red bird recolored as a chick, but that pink popcorn thing just looks odd. LOL. I would have preferred that she came with a tiny bunny rabbit or Easter basket, too, instead of the pink popcorn and ball. (And darn it all ... I think I've already managed to lose the chick. I can't find it anywhere. I hope it turns up soon.)

Banana pretends the pink popcorn is "cotton candy" ... *shrug* ... I think MGA could have been a bit more creative on the accessories, too!

I went back to my Target today. They are all SOLD OUT of the mini Cotton Hoppalongs now. Last time I was there, they had somewhere around 9-12 of them (I didn't count). Ack! I'm glad I got one when I did!

I got a cotton from someone on FB. I can't find them anywhere in town. The worst part is how people are buying multiples jacking up the prices. I saw someone selling one for $12 plus shipping! not fair!!

The same thing always happens on ebay. And people are buying them because they can't find them anywhere now.

Cotton Hoppalong is a Target exclusive, so only available in Target stores. I hope there are still some stores that have them, but as it gets closer to Easter it may be hard to find them unless you get them off ebay or FB.
