Pocket Porks? Wait…what?
The series, based on the Shawnimals dumpling character known as Wee Sticker, began years ago with something that few – if any – tried before: A mini plush, handmade blind boxed series. Shawnimals and myplasticheart teamed up for this special release in-store and online, and it sold out in minutes. The second series did the same, as did subsequent releases. But alas, these were limited, and not everyone got what they wanted. Pocket Pork dumpling mini vinyl are born from this, and from a love of making cute and kind of weird food-based characters, finally widely available..

Who is Squibbles Ink?
A vinyl series was a no-brainer, but getting a series together is never an easy challenge, especially when self-produced. Enter: Squibbles Ink, and its mastermind Joe Somers to the rescue. Squibbles Ink is responsible for the production side of all the squibbles ink + rotofugi™ products like Gumdrops, Marshalls, Ninjatown Micro Plush and Zipper Charms, not to mention the Lake Monsters series.
