Xia Xia Hermit Crabs
Welcome the colourful and crazy world of Xia Xia Crabs! These collectible crustaceans are the latest smash hit toys from the makers of the phenomenally successful Zhu Zhu Pets which took the toy world by storm a couple of years ago.
At first glance, the Xia Xia Pets (pronounced ‘Sha Sha’) look a little strange but it is easy to see how children everywhere will fall in love with them. They are 4 colourful little hermit crab creatures that have characters all of their own and they zip around the floor very much in the same way that the Zhu Zhu hamsters do. Choose your favourite:
Xia Xia Pets Bimini – the lavender-coloured one
Xia Xia Pets Turks – the bright pink one
Xia Xia Pets Trinidad – the orange one
Xia Xia Pets Tobago – the blue one
But there is a lot more to these splendid new sea creatures than meets the eye. If you press their claw they perform their unique silly dance. If that’s not enough, each of the little Hermit Crabs creatures has it’s own detachable shell which contains a second secret mini collectible creature. The shells are interchangeable and there are 12 different shells to collect, so your little crab friend can choose which shell he or she wants to live in – just like real-life hermit crabs!
Xia Xia Crabs – The Latest Toy Craze
The various Xia Xia Pets Crabs have large expressive faces, each one with its own comical facial expression that shows its individual personality and makes them unique in the world of children’s toys.

These sets are able to join together to make one big aquamarine habitat for your crustaceans to create havoc in so you can collect them all or have a crab party with your friends in a colourful carnival atmosphere!
These innovative interactive toys have another great selling point, namely the price. Each crab retails around the £10 mark with the play sets starting at £15. So in these tough economic times Xia Xia Crabs are a great alternative as a popular but affordable toy that kids will not fail to love.
Xia Xia UK stocks are due to arrive in stores across the country in January 2012 but due to unsurpassed demand in America where Toys R Us have reported selling one every seven minutes in the run up to Christmas, distributors have decided to air-freight a limited number over to the UK in time for the festive period. However, they will only appear in a limited number of stores and these stocks will soon be gone and will result in the inevitable price hike as they appear on eBay and other auction sites at exorbitant rates. The best recommendation for parents is to wait until the crazy Christmas period has passed and shelves become replenished in January.
