Do you plan to purchase new collectible mystery box toys for your collection this year?
The Loyal Subjects has introduced Skittens, a new line of 6-inch collectible plush toys featuring unique fashion designs. These toys will debut in September 2026 as an exclusive launch at Walmart.
Why it matters
The collection offers a new entry in the mystery-box market, with the concept originally designed by the company founder as a gift for his wife. The launch provides collectors with a tiered rarity system across 11 different initial characters.
The first wave features 11 characters, including six common, three rare, and two uber rare plushies. Rare characters are found at a 1-in-24 pull rate, while uber rare characters appear at a 1-in-96 rate.
The players
The Loyal Subjects
A toy manufacturer known for developing original intellectual property and collectible character lines.
Walmart
A major multinational retail corporation serving as the exclusive launch partner for the new collectible toy line.
The details
Each 6-inch plush features premium cut-and-sew construction and fashion-inspired designs. The characters are sold in mystery box packaging, meaning buyers do not know which specific character they have selected until the package is opened. The initial wave includes collaborations with brands such as Juicy Couture, Reebok, and Toys 'R' Us.
Timeline
The Skittens line is scheduled to launch at Walmart in September 2026.
Specialty and key retail partners are expected to carry the collection later in 2026.
The Home Front
This release aligns with the ongoing popularity of the mystery-box toy market where randomized distribution drives secondary market interest. It marks a departure from traditional retail by securing an exclusive launch period at a major national big-box retailer.
If you are planning to collect the full set, be aware that mystery packaging means duplicates are possible given the rarity distribution. Keep your collection in a climate-controlled area away from direct sunlight to preserve the premium materials and fashion details.
The takeaway
The Skittens launch introduces a tiered rarity system to the collectible plush category. Collectors should prepare for the September 2026 rollout at Walmart by tracking which characters remain elusive from the initial 11-piece wave.
