Mimi and the Goo Goos :: Original Playsets

"They're into everything!"

Mimi and the Goo Goos were produced in 1994-1996 by Bluebird in the UK and Mattel in the US. They were a series of tiny baby figures with miniature playcases they could hide in. The Bluebird and Mattel releases were the same, with a few colour differences.

Original playsets

"Mimi is an impish little girl who has her own imaginary world full of tiny, secret friends - the Goo Goos! Whenever Mimi's sad, she just thinks of Goo Goo Land, and she's off! Grown-ups never go to Goo Goo Land - it's just for children, like Mimi. When the Goo Goos come out to play, they're so cheeky - they hide in all kinds of funny places and each one has a favourite hiding place - a bag, a teddy, a cake, a clock! Cute'n'cheeky babies for you to collect and take anywhere! They're into everything!"

They were originally set to be called Lulu and the Goo Goos or Suzi and the Goo Goos, but changed name just before production to Mimi. All US sets had different individual names from the UK releases, and some had colour differences too.

"A highly detailed collectable range ot beautiful miniature play cases and cheeky babies. Each baby has a unique movement feature, and a cute case to live in."

There were eighteen playcases produced in total, these are the first fourteen which were released in various batches.
