Seeking Kinder Egg capsules

[bunsen_h]

I'm looking for a few Kinder Egg capsules for a craft project -- specifically, small plush squid that are "shaker toys".  Can any of you local folks help?  The former colleague and Kinder Egg fanatic who I thought could help me has told me that he has none left.  Yes, I could just go buy some of the eggs, but I don't have any interest in the candy or the toys.

(I gave my prototype shaker squid to Heather Dale after her concert at Worldcon.)

My! To Heather Dale - she is certainly a worthy cause. :)

I have two unopened Kinder Eggs here at home, and I am sure there would be no complaints if I asked my kids to deal with the Candy and Toy portions. :)

When do you need them for?

During her performance of "Fisherman's Boy" -- "Throwing them back to the ocean / Back to the living once more" -- I was slightly tempted to toss one of the little squid to the stage from the audience. But I decided that that would be cruel to the performers.

(Hmm. With regard to my big squid... "He had a hat..!")

There isn't any particular rush for the capsules, though I'm naggingly curious as to how well they'll work for the shaker toys. For my prototype, I used a medium-sized, slightly-narrow pill bottle -- I had to make the squid a bit bigger than usual, and the shape of the bottle, and the edge of the cap, were still more obvious than I liked.

Definitely agreed!
