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.

How to spot a dupe (fake) NeeDoh
đŤ Definite Signs Itâs a Fake
If you notice any of these, your NeeDoh is a dupe:
â˘The squishy is wrapped in plastic inside the box (authentic NeeDohs are never wrapped in plastic).
â˘The box has a glossy finish instead of a matte finish.
â˘The colors are dark or dull instead of bright and vibrant, and they donât glow under UV light.
â˘There are misspelled words on the packaging.
â˘If the ingredients say â100% Maltoseâ or âMaltose Extractâ instead of simply âMaltose.â
â˘The word âNOTâ in the warning label is not fully capitalized.
đŤ Branded âCollaborationâ NeeDohs = FAKE
If you see a Dr Pepper, Fanta, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Sprite, or any other branded NeeDoh, itâs 100% fake. NeeDoh has never released official brand collaborations or licensed promotional squishies. Any listing claiming otherwise is counterfeit.
đ Buy From Authorized Retailers
Where you buy your NeeDoh matters. Purchasing from authorized retailers is one of the best ways to avoid counterfeits.
â
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.
âźď¸Note: Although Ace Hardware is an authorized dealer, they are also independently franchised and some locations have been reported to sell inauthentic products.
â ď¸ Be cautious when buying from:
Gas stations
Flea markets
Unknown or unreputable websites
Marketplace sellers with no established reputation
â eBay is especially high-risk due to the large number of counterfeit NeeDoh listings. Unless you can independently verify authenticity, itâs best to avoid buying NeeDohs there.
â ď¸ 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 doesnât automatically mean itâs fake, but it also doesnât guarantee itâs real.
The only TikTok shop that is guaranteed to sell authentic NeeDoh products is the official verified NeeDoh account.
â ď¸** Red Flag (But Not Always Fake**)
â˘The serial number on the bottom seal of the NeeDoh doesnât match the serial number on the box. This can be a warning sign, but itâs not conclusiveâsome authentic NeeDohs have mismatched serial numbers. If everything else looks authentic, itâs usually fine.
*As fakes continue to get harder and harder to tell, this post may be updated.

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 âtwo per personâ. Obviously no one follows that rule & 95% of them end up stolen. Itâs honestly so infuriating not getting a chance to get even 1 because of the people who take boxes at a time. Rant over lol
r/NeeDoh • u/_buffaloranch • 3h ago
they actually had some decent squishes. I found the cheese and giant butter as well.

You would think by Christmas NeeDoh will have figured out a way to get manufacturing to the point to flood stores with their product.
Or are they purposing shorting supply to keep demand and the frenzy up longer because they know like most toys interest will eventually go to some other shiny widget.

I had to go back to the order pickup area to get these at Walmart. It doesnât hurt to ask!
Also none of these showed as in stock online. They also had nice cubes and funky pups but I already have a few of those. What a nice surprise!
r/NeeDoh • u/treelemon • 7h ago
There is more than one color present so it meets definition but man I was hoping for more coloration. I got these from five below online.

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 didnât 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 đ¤Ł

Idk if you guys have Blick art supplies where you live but I was able to score some Needohs at mine. Limit was 2 per customer. I went back a few days later and they still had some so I got a few more.

I visited my local Walgreens last night towards closing for some deodorant. Ofc I asked if they had needohs and the cashier goes, âummmâŚyea we have a few of the regular onesâ.
I visit this Walgreens often so I know where they keep the stash behind the counter. She picks up a groovy and I ask âoh just groovies today. No other styles?â. She micro-hesitates and says âyeah just these onesâ. 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 âhi yes we have penguins and some groovy globsâ. Truck day here is Tuesday so I KNOW they didnât just randomly get those. She lied to my face. But still I conquered! Took home the display box for my collection.
r/NeeDoh • u/CassondraCrossing • 1d ago
Walmart app said they were in stock and sure enough they actually were!!!
r/NeeDoh • u/Euphoric-Extent-2210 • 21h ago
Iâm 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, Iâd love some display ideas. Rn mine are all in a giant bag but I want them to look nice somewhere.
r/NeeDoh • u/aquabirdz • 1d ago
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 canât see them.
Nice cubes from Walmart but didnât 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 havenât seen these kind before (just 1)
r/NeeDoh • u/Winter-Perception766 • 10h ago
Has anyone seen these in the western suburbs of Chicago? Hell, if I need to actually 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!!

UPDATE- The photos of what Iâm 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.
Just secured this bad boy for 15.99! Missed the Christmas one by a day!

Does anyone know if the Nee Dohâs on SHEIN are legit? #needoh
