Are these strictly going to be a US Target exclusive or will they eventually be released in other countries?
It's a pain when things like this are only available in the US, meaning the only way to get them is to buy them online from a scalper for 3 times the cost…— ✨ Momo 🌙 (@BlueHeartLass) July 22, 2022
Looks awesome i want 1! but cant wait for scalpers to buy them all before anyone else and not be able to find them anywhere in stores or online!😞😒
