It's probably quite safe to say that everyone here loves video games, and a healthy majority likely enjoy scoffing endless amounts of chocolate, so these Splatoon 2-themed chocolate eggs are sure to catch your eye.
With 16 available figures hidden inside the eggs, with one of them being a 'secret', this Splatoon range of confectionery will be challenging the likes of Kinder Surprise for the ultimate chocolate/small toy crown. The Japanese Splatoon Twitter account has shared some images of what you can expect from inside the eggs, and we can't help but want every last one of them.
The sad news, as if often the case with cool little oddities, is that they are only currently available in Japan. Some stores seem to offer worldwide shipping but you may struggle to avoid some hefty delivery charges.
The figures might not stand up to the amiibo level of quality but, as a cute little gift inside an egg, we can see these going down a treat among fans of the game. Would you be snapping these up if you had the chance? Let us know your thoughts down below.

They should get in contact with Kinder to make them in Europe, but i know kinder eggs are illegal in US, so not sure about them
Want the Judd one
Can't wait to see these ones scalped, I know I'll be a happy victim
I may ask my wife to speak to her Japanese friend to send the whole collection to the UK...for our daughter, of course.
@Bunkerneath - kinder eggs are banned in the US but assault rifles are not? The mind boggles
Of course. Japan only.
Would be cool if it was all Nintendo. Some arms Zelda and Mario Odyssey.... throw in Samus Returns would be sweet!
@JaxxDuffer Apparently having a piece of plastic inside food eithout it being visible is prohibited, because of choking hazards. Nevermind that the kinder plastic eggs are huge. Though I admit as a kid I may have deliberately put them in my mouth...
I've seen someone proposing a workaround with their eggs by making the halves slightly apart, so that the plastic part is visible.
@Bunkerneath They got around it finally by making two distinct halves in the egg. Surprise eggs have actually kind of blown up in the last few months here in the US. I'm really hoping a candy boutique store imports these.
They did Mario and Pokémon ones of these a while back too, got a few lying around. Will definitely keep an eye out for these.
I neeeeeed to go back to Japan!!
Btw, it still 1 month to go Easter day.
Well since Nintendo still sucks ass at keeping their amiibo in stock, these should be a nice alternative. Pearl looks abit...well pearly though.
I'd buy amiibo versions of all the ones that currently aren't amiibos, the Octoling in particular.
Why!? Bring em here I'd buy the lot!
Darn you, Japan, why do only you get the cool stuff!?
HELLO EVERYONE! I'M IN JAPAN RIGHT NOW! I'M RUNNING TO THE STORE TO BUY ALL THE CHOCOLATE EASTER EGGS! YAY!
@Bunkerneath not sure where you've been but, uh, they stopped being illegal like... a month and a half ago.....
@Woah! How are these not sold in Europe when they're a direct rip-off of Kinder-Überraschung?
I don't get all the amiibo-related comments though. These are nit amiibos! They have no amiibo functionality. Why not just huy amiibos if you want those?
Those are rather lavish for chocolate egg figurines!
kids are gonna choke on the toys and their parents are going to sue.
Why must all these things only be available in Japan? Seriously Nintendo, I want you to take my money!!! So please let me get all these cool things :,(
...Chocolate?....CHOCOLATE?
Reminds me of the wonderball that Nestle came out with several years ago. (smaller prizes though and there was candy inside)
