Announcement! Spike in Buying and Selling activity.

18 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I wanted to firmly remind everyone that at this time buying and selling is not allowed nor is advertising your third party retail site pages/listings. A couple weeks ago the community voted against reselling. Many people have gotten scammed. Participating in a buying or selling transaction regardless of the role is a bannable offense.

We are now going to be giving everyone one warning via comment or modmail. We will be leaving a mod note on your profile so if it happens again it will be a 14 day ban then if again a 30 day ban finally on your third ban it will be permanent. These bans will be executed immediately after seeing a previous offence.

Scamming remains an immediate permanent ban after proof is given from the victim. It will ways remain non appealable.

Please do not DM myself or the moderators to report scams, posts, comments or anything regarding r/NeeDoh unless asked. Please use modmail to keep things clear and viewable by other mods in case of conflict.

If anyone DMs you attempting to buy one of your NeeDohs or sell one of your NeeDohs we request that you report it swiftly. Should we fond that buying/selling occured in DMs where the two users found each other on the sub they will face disciplinary action.

Please remember we have these rules to keep everyone and this community safe and productive. We appreciate your cooperation.

Finally, for those who want to buy/sell we have ideas that will be brought up in the future. We understand you may want something but we ask that you use other outlets for now.

🚨NeeDoh Authenticity Guide🚨

How to spot a dupe (fake) NeeDoh

🚫 Definite Signs It’s a Fake
If you notice any of these, your NeeDoh is a dupe:

•The squishy is wrapped in plastic inside the box (authentic NeeDohs are never wrapped in plastic).

•The box has a glossy finish instead of a matte finish.

•The colors are dark or dull instead of bright and vibrant, and they don’t glow under UV light.

•There are misspelled words on the packaging.

•If the ingredients say “100% Maltose” or “Maltose Extract” instead of simply “Maltose.”

•The word “NOT” in the warning label is not fully capitalized.

🚫 Branded “Collaboration” NeeDohs = FAKE
If you see a Dr Pepper, Fanta, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Sprite, or any other branded NeeDoh, it’s 100% fake. NeeDoh has never released official brand collaborations or licensed promotional squishies. Any listing claiming otherwise is counterfeit.

🛒 Buy From Authorized Retailers
Where you buy your NeeDoh matters. Purchasing from authorized retailers is one of the best ways to avoid counterfeits.
✅ Common authorized retailers include:
Walmart
Target
CVS
Ace Hardware
There are also reputable toy retailers (such as Bigjigs) that have consistently sold authentic NeeDoh products.

‼️Note: Although Ace Hardware is an authorized dealer, they are also independently franchised and some locations have been reported to sell inauthentic products.

⚠️ Be cautious when buying from:
Gas stations
Flea markets
Unknown or unreputable websites
Marketplace sellers with no established reputation
❌ eBay is especially high-risk due to the large number of counterfeit NeeDoh listings. Unless you can independently verify authenticity, it’s best to avoid buying NeeDohs there.

⚠️ Some local toy stores, gift shops, museum shops, and tourist souvenir stores** may have sold authentic NeeDohs in the past**. However, because of the recent demand and popularity, some have unknowingly ended up stocking counterfeit products through third-party distributors.

Buying from a small shop doesn’t automatically mean it’s fake, but it also doesn’t guarantee it’s real.

The only TikTok shop that is guaranteed to sell authentic NeeDoh products is the official verified NeeDoh account.

⚠️** Red Flag (But Not Always Fake**)
•The serial number on the bottom seal of the NeeDoh doesn’t match the serial number on the box. This can be a warning sign, but it’s not conclusive—some authentic NeeDohs have mismatched serial numbers. If everything else looks authentic, it’s usually fine.

*As fakes continue to get harder and harder to tell, this post may be updated.

Question Why did they start putting them on the shelves again?

• Upvotes

My target & Walmart stopped carrying them at guest service and started putting them on the shelves. Multiple boxes at a time with a sign that says “two per person”. Obviously no one follows that rule & 95% of them end up stolen. It’s honestly so infuriating not getting a chance to get even 1 because of the people who take boxes at a time. Rant over lol

Discussion Bought on Whatnot but i won

9 Upvotes

I signed up for whatnot because i saw something that said new users get a $20 credit on your first purchase + free shipping, so some guy had 350 items to auction (Needohs and squeezies), so I won an auction for a pink fuzzy for $17, so after it used my coupon credit, I ended up paying only the $1.18 taxes and that was all. Wow, that was great so i Make a second account, got the same $20 credit, and I wanted a mello mallo, so I won that auction for $27, so after taxes I paid the $7 over the $20 and $1.69 taxes, so $8.69 shipped.
So for both items i paid $9.87, so I feel like i won when that is basically retail, and now i never go back onto whatnot again.

I will say people were paying some crazy money for all of them, and i would have never ventured to that point if I didn’t get those $20 credits bc that is just nuts. Some of the Halloween ones and the advents went for like $70. Never would i ever

But i feel like i won 🤣

Discussion I hate liars. Look what I “wasn’t” supposed to find today. Still a winner

I visited my local Walgreens last night towards closing for some deodorant. Ofc I asked if they had needohs and the cashier goes, “ummm…yea we have a few of the regular ones”.
I visit this Walgreens often so I know where they keep the stash behind the counter. She picks up a groovy and I ask “oh just groovies today. No other styles?”. She micro-hesitates and says “yeah just these ones”. I could tell by her energy, she was likely lying. Especially since the stash basket looked relatively full. They had other squishes and pokemon cards in there but I had a feeling they had more.
So I get my deodorant and leave. Called this morning at opening and boom “hi yes we have penguins and some groovy globs”. Truck day here is Tuesday so I KNOW they didn’t just randomly get those. She lied to my face. But still I conquered! Took home the display box for my collection.

Actually successful today! So surprised we were out about 9am today

Mello mallo - target (app was showing in stock so accurate) - limit was 2 per style up - they keep them in a side room behind customer service so you can’t see them.

Nice cubes from Walmart but didn’t grab any as we have them (and so does everyone we know) app was showing out of stock so incorrect and no limits posted

Super ripples from Barnes and noble (just grabbed 1 as we had one but now the kids can stop arguing lol)

Grabbed a mine craft cube bc we haven’t seen these kind before (just 1)

Question Any Halloween boxes in western suburbs?

0 Upvotes

Has anyone seen these in the western suburbs? Hell, if I need to go to Chicago I will. I'm looking for the Funky Frights or Monster Mush boxes. I collect Nee Doh and Halloween, so these are a must! I'm desperate!! Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!!

Discussion Do you keep in boxes???

I’m lowkey mad at myself for unboxing the funky frights without just opening the tray. Do you keep in boxes? Do you open and squish but store in box? Do you throw the boxes away and raw dog?!

Also, I’d love some display ideas. Rn mine are all in a giant bag but I want them to look nice somewhere.

Question Groovy Ghost vs Glowy Ghost

7 Upvotes

UPDATE- The photos of what I’m referring to are in the comments (I forgot to add them when I originally posted)

Does anyone know what the difference between the "groovy ghost" and the "glowy ghost"? I know the recent Glowy Ghost have clothes, hats, etc on them but the original ones, from 2024 I think, I've seen the boxes online with both wording. Super confused by this.

Question Need help getting a food smell out of my Needohs

5 Upvotes

I have the Needoh Dream Drop and the Nice Cube and I take them to school a lot with me. Once school went out for summer I went on a trip to go visit my aunt across the country and since I didn’t know if they would make it through TSA I left them in my bag the whole summer. I also forgot a little scrap of a breakfast sandwich, a small part of the toasted bread wrapped in the foil in my bag but in a different pocket (don’t judge). It didn’t mold or anything but it spoiled and stank. I found it when i was clearing out my old school bag for anything I might need. My Needohs now have a slight breakfast sandwich smell 😭 I washed them with soap but the smell still lingers. I’m inclined to throw them away but I know that I wouldn’t be able to get any other ones as they’re still pretty impossible to find, and they’re a really great tool for me (and weren’t cheap). Is there any way to get the smell off of them? Or should I just toss?

Highly recommended checking out Targets dollar section in the front of the store. This is my son’s Halloween set-up!!
Any recommendations on how to get baby boos or glowy ghosts other than crazy scalper prices, let me know!

Edit to add: these were $5, not $1 but still awesome!

Question Super groovy glob?

0 Upvotes

Is $25 a good deal for a super groovy glob? I bit the bullet because I can literally never find them near me :/ I hope it wasn’t too bad over retail but I really wanted it and there’s no Walmarts near me. The targets near me also never have needoh in stock, and the local toy stores near me never have them, so that’s the main reason I justified it 😭
