Nestle Magic Ball figures were released throughout Europe from 1995 to 1999. The plastic figurine or toy come inside a plastic capsule ball, which was inside a chocolate ball, wrapped in foil, inside a cardboard box, similar to Kinder Surprise eggs.
A different, but similar series was also released in the US in 1997, except the European figures are smaller, and generally, much more detailed. They are of a better quality than their US counterparts. These figures are hard plastic, hand painted from 1" to 2" tall.
Many figurines come in 2 or 3 pieces and need minor assembly. This is a complete listing of the series and year released.
