- Ooshies are miniature plastic pencil toppers which children love to collect
- The figurines on offer by Kmart are available in sets of seven, priced at $15 each
Kmart Australia has launched a collection of Harry Potter-themed Ooshies after the popular miniature pencil toppers were made famous in Woolworths promotions earlier this year.
The plastic toys are being sold in sets of seven, which includes a mystery figurine, and are available from the retailer for $15 a pack.
Kmart’s series features iconic characters from the hit films including Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, Dobby and Hagrid.
To build a full set, Ooshie fans will need to collect all 36 figurines, including a rare furry Hedwig.

‘Bring home all of your child’s favourite characters from the Harry Potter series in the form of these mini collectable pencil topper figurines,’ read by Kmart following the launch.
Social media is also delighted by the prospect of being able to buy the new Harry Potter collection – although some joked forking out for the complete range may leave them broke.
Ooshie mania has swept the nation this year following the massive success of a campaign by Woolworths.
The hype around Woolworths Lion King Ooshie collection saw people list their rare items on eBay for exorbitant prices
In July, the supermarket released a highly sought-after set as part of its Lion King promotion.
The hype around the collection was so huge, rare items like a furry Simba were spotted being sold on eBay for exorbitant prices.
Daily Mail Australia reported at the time how one person had listed their ‘Orange Simba’ on the online platform for $45,000.
Another was also seen on the site selling a ‘super rare blue Mufasa’ Ooshie for a starting bid of $20,000.
A third seller from Victoria was seen advertising a gold Mufasa for $999, ‘cash only on pick up’.
