Last week we received a wonderful hamper full of real fruit. It looked amazing. But this wasn’t an ordinary fruit hamper. It was more special than that because inside the hamper and hidden within the real fruit, we found series 3 Bandai Bananas collectibles, the most lovely scented fruits toys that are available for our kids.
Following the huge success of the award-winning Bananas collectible range from Bandai, series 3 is now here and introduces new single chocolate-dipped bananas in their signature bright colours and 3 pack doodle bunches. The girls were super excited.

There are also available lemon and limes which come with a super cool peel back feature. And that’s not all! The new range has now added strawberries to its fruity family of bananas, lemons and limes. They come in beautiful assorted colours and to add to the fun you can look out for the 2 limited edition Strawberries with limited edition characters.
My girls were fascinated with the new range and didn’t stop smelling them! They really have a fab fruity smell. Bella’s favourite smell was the single chocolate-dipped banana and Sienna’s favourite smell was the strawberry one.
We received a 2 pack of lemon and limes, a 2 pack of strawberries and 3 single bananas. Each Banana includes:
- 1x Crushie
- 2x cute mini squeezable friends
- 1 x gemstone stickers for decorating your Crushie or Banana
- 1x character sticker
- 1x hanging vine
- collector sheet with character stickers
Happy faces with their single Bananas
One of the coolest features is that you need to peel the banana to reveal what is inside. You can display them on their hanging vines or reseal them back into their Banana and take them with you. They are super cute.
What my girls loved the most was that as they were peeling back the banana they were able to smell the bold aroma of fresh bananas! Regardless of the fruit you choose, once you peel it you immediately feel the fruity smell which is a characteristic of the Bandai Bananas collectible.
There are also ultra-rare and limited edition Crushies. So the girls were desperate to get their hands to one of them.
In addition to this, brand new for series 3, you can now go Bananas for strawberries too. Not only are they a new shape added to the Bananas range, but they also contain very special limited edition Crushies.
Another fun feature is that kids can monkey-around by hanging them on a backpack, or re-seal them to take on the go and trade with friends. The girls really liked that.
There are also two new toys added to the Bandai Bananas range such as the Bananas Playhouse which peels and even has a secret passage and the BIG Bananas Carrying Case that will hold 56 goodies. This is the ultimate carry case where collectibles fans can store all their bananas.
The prices range from £3.99 to £39.99, so Bananas RRP £3.99 (1 x banana), Bananas RRP £9.99 (a bunch of 3), Strawberries RRP £7.99, Bananas Playhouse RRP £19.99 and BIG Bananas Carry Case RRP £39.99.
These toys are aimed at kids aged 4+ and are available from Smyths, The Entertainer, Argos, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Asda, Toymaster, Very, Littlewoods nationwide & Amazon.
OUR THOUGHTS
The girls love collectible toys so these toys were right up their street. They saw them for the first time back in July at a ‘Christmas in July’ show. They were playing with them for a while so I knew they would love the new range. The best part is that they smell gorgeous and they come with their own resealable home so it is great to keep the contents in one place.
Are your kids fans of collectibles toys? What do you think of the series 3 Bandai Bananas range?
