  • International shipping update Aug 31, 2010 By Shawnimal 1 comment

    For quite some time now, we've had issues with shipments to certain countries. That is, United States Postal Service First-Class shipments to certain countries. So much so, in fact, that packages would take months to arrive, get lost, come back for no good reason, or any number of other silly reasons. The USPS had no real solution for us, and since we're often dealing with limited or handmade items, it put us in a real sticky situation... [MORE]

     

  • Ninja of the Month: Evil Syrup Ninja! Aug 30, 2010 By Shawnimal 6 comments

    Something evil has been brewing in the Dark Syrup pits deep within the Dark Forest, unbeknownst to even Mr. Demon and his band of baddies. Turns out an otherwise harmless Wee Ninja, drawn to the seductive toxic goo from afar thanks to a plate of waffles (no joke), has taken up residence inside. Inside the pits! Weird, right? Like a sort of Dark Syrup swamp thing! Eek! Read on...

    AVAILABLE Wednesday September 1st at 1pm CDT!

  • Wee Devil plush preview! Aug 30, 2010 By Shawnimal 5 comments

    The Wee Ninja’s arch-enemy is nearly here... in plush form, anyway! Created by Mr. Demon to destroy all good things, the cute / evil Wee Devils have a penchant for ruining Ninjatown, often throwing rotten eggs at ninja huts, leaving banana peels on walkways and dishing out harsh wedgies to unsuspecting Wee Ninjas.

    Approximately 9"x 9". Red fleece with embroidered mouth. Hang tag & sticker included. This item is manufactured.

    Coming Soon for $18.00 each!

  • Shawnimals loves Mylos... Aug 25, 2010 By Shawnimal

    While many of you may not necessarily be interested in the behind scenes business stuff here at Shawnimals, we felt it important to mention some exciting news. Shawnimals is now being represented by Mylos Love Toys. You ask, "Wait... what does this mean, and why should I care?" Fair question! :D

    The short answer is that (hopefully) since Mylos Loves Toys will act as our sales team, our awesome products will be available at more stores – and more regularly – which means you can get your Shawnimals fix faster and closer to home. It also makes it easier for stores to have one person to deal with when placing orders and re-orders. Cool, right?

    So if you have a store nearby that should carry Shawnimals, we'd love for you to help connect the dots! Send them to this page, and hopefully the rest will magically take place.

  • Mountain Ninja revealed! Jul 01, 2010 By Shawnimal 9 comments

    Little known fact: Mountain Ninjas descend the great Mt. Feroshi in the Summertime as a sort of a vacation! They also lose the furry hat, and supposedly shed at least a bit of their beardiness. Let's see, what else...

    AVAILABLE Wednesday July 7th at 1pm CDT!

    From the tag:
    "Summer! It gives this otherwise reclusive mountain dweller a chance to unwind at a relatively lower altitude. What past time, you ask? Rock climbing, of course. And Gort tossing—but only after he has had one too many Ninjatown Cherry Ales."

    Motto:
    "I’m just fine by myself, thanks!"
