Have you ever looked at your bookshelf and realized a small army of plush figures has completely taken over? If you collect designer toys, you know exactly how fast one single blind box turns into a full blown obsession. You buy just one to see what the hype is all about, and before you know it, you are trading figures online and setting alarms for new release drops.
In the massive world of art toys, Nommi has carved out a massive space for itself. These figures are not just standard pieces of plastic sitting on a desk. They combine beautifully painted vinyl faces with weighted, huggable plush bodies.
Keeping track of every single release can be a massive headache, especially if you are hunting down specific characters to complete your display. Let us look at what makes these toys so special and break down every major series released so far.
Why We Cannot Stop Collecting Nommi Figures
The Thrill of the Pull
If you try to explain blind boxes to someone outside the hobby, they usually give you a confused look. Why buy something when you do not know exactly what is inside? The answer is simple. The thrill of the pull is completely unmatched. Ripping open that foil bag and seeing the face of the exact secret character you wanted provides an instant rush of joy.
A Perfect Mix of Vinyl and Plush
But what makes this specific brand stand out from the hundreds of other designer toys on the market? It all comes down to the tactile experience. Standard vinyl toys look great, but they are cold and rigid. Nommi gives you the best of both worlds.
The face is cast in premium vinyl, allowing the artists to paint incredibly fine details, delicate blush, and tiny freckles. The body is made from high quality plush fabric filled with weighted beads. When you pick one up, it feels substantial and incredibly satisfying to hold.
Movable Eyes for Perfect Photos
The absolute best feature is the eye mechanism. You can gently adjust the eyes to look left, right, or straight ahead. This simple feature changes everything for collectors who love taking photographs of their toys. You can pose them looking at each other, gazing up at a coffee cup, or glancing shyly at the camera.
A Premium Unboxing Experience
The unboxing experience feels totally premium. The manufacturer uses thick, sturdy boxes with foam inserts. When you open a package, you know the delicate face paint is perfectly protected. It feels like opening a high end gift rather than a standard retail toy.

How to Spot Fake Figures and Protect Your Mone
Because these toys are so incredibly popular, the secondary market is unfortunately packed with cheap counterfeits. Scammers reproduce the boxes and sell low quality copies to unsuspecting buyers. Unboxing a fake figure is a terrible feeling.
You can usually spot a fake by looking at the face. Authentic pieces have flawlessly smooth vinyl with flawless matte paint. Fakes often look shiny, greasy, or have visible plastic seams running down the sides of the head.
The eye mechanism is another massive giveaway. On a genuine figure, the eyes move smoothly. On a counterfeit, the eyes are often completely frozen in place or feel crunchy when you try to turn them.
The plush fabric tells the rest of the story. A real figure uses high density, soft fabrics that do not shed. Fakes use cheap, scratchy materials that leave loose fibers all over your hands. Always check the identity card included in the box. A genuine card features razor sharp printing and vibrant colors, while fake cards look blurry and washed out.
Where to Buy Safely in New Zealand
The easiest way to avoid getting scammed is to skip the shady secondary market websites entirely. Buying direct from an authorized retailer guarantees you are getting a brand new, factory sealed product.
If you are located in New Zealand or shopping online, we highly suggest picking up your boxes from a trusted local source. Exploring the curated Nommi collection at Ocare ensures you get the real deal. They carry verified stock, meaning you get the true premium unboxing experience and a fair shot at pulling those super rare secret figures.
Building Your Display
Once you start pulling figures, you need to figure out how to show them off. Because they have soft plush bodies, they cannot stand up completely straight on their own. Most collectors pose them sitting down on acrylic risers. You can also buy tiny doll chairs or beanbags for them to sit on, which makes the display look like a miniature living room.
Keep your collection away from direct sunlight. UV rays are the absolute worst enemy of designer toys. The sun will fade the vibrant fabric colors and can even cause the vinyl faces to turn yellow over time. A glass display cabinet placed in a shaded corner of your room is the absolute best way to keep your collection looking brand new for years.
Answering Your Biggest Blind Box Questions
What are the actual chances of pulling the secret figure?
In a standard retail case, there are usually six standard designs. The hidden character is packed completely at random. The standard production ratio is generally one secret figure for every seventy two boxes manufactured. Finding one is pure luck, which makes pulling a secret an unforgettable experience.
What should I do with my duplicate figures?
Getting a duplicate is just part of the game. Do not let it discourage you. There is a massive online community of collectors who trade figures every single day. You can join local social media groups to swap your duplicates with someone else. Trading is honestly half the fun of the hobby and a great way to make friends.
Are these toys safe for young kids?
The manufacturer strongly recommends these products for people aged fifteen and older. They are designed as premium collectibles, not as rugged playthings for toddlers. The internal eye tracking mechanism and the tiny accessories represent a serious choking hazard for babies and small children.
How do I clean my plush figures if they get dusty?
Never put these figures in a washing machine and never submerge them in water. The metal parts inside the head will instantly rust. To keep them clean, use a clean makeup brush to dust the vinyl face. For the plush body, use a slightly damp cloth to gently spot clean any marks, and let it air dry completely.
