Sonny Angel
PLEASE NOTE: Sonny Angels are very popular and sell out quickly. You can buy a maximum of 2 per customer, so we give everyone a chance to get one. Follow us on Instagram @indenolifant; when new collections arrive, we post about them immediately on our stories. We don't know ourselves when they will arrive, and we cannot reserve them, once they're gone, they're gone.
At In den Olifant, we love wonder, and Sonny Angel is wonder in pocket-size. A small angel with a quirky hat, that you can take with you in your jacket pocket, place on your desk, or add to your collection. For seasoned collectors and for those who are just discovering the magic of Sonny Angel.
He may bring you happiness
Sonny Angel has existed since 2004 and comes from Japanese designer Toru "Sonny" Soeya, who founded Dreams Inc. in 1996. He was inspired by the classic Kewpie doll and conceived a figure that was primarily intended to provide comfort: a little friend who watches over you during a busy day. The figures bear his own nickname, and the slogan from the start says exactly what it's all about: He may bring you happiness.
The Sonny Angel chooses you
Each doll comes in a blind box. You choose a series, but only when you open the box do you know which figure has chosen you. That moment of surprise is precisely the charm: no choice stress, but a small gift waiting to be discovered. And that makes collecting, trading, and saving so much fun.
More than just a toy
The figures are designed with an incredible eye for detail. You're not just buying a doll; you're buying a small work of art. This partly explains why Sonny Angel has become so big in recent years: thanks to the power of social media, and certainly TikTok, collectors worldwide discovered the unboxings, the trading groups, and the full shelves. They also fit perfectly into the way we furnish our rooms and desks, with soft forms, simple faces, and lots of playfulness.
All series in a row
The collection includes dozens of series and themes: from the classic Animal, Fruit, Vegetable, and Flower Series to the Hippers who lie on their stomachs, and the Animal Bakery, in which the animals look as if they have just come out of a bakery oven. New series and collaborations appear regularly, so there's a good chance there's something that perfectly suits your style.
Also from the same designer: Smiski
Do you know Smiski yet? These little creatures that glow in the dark come from the same designer and the same Japanese studio. They prefer to hide in the corners of your room and are the perfect addition to your Sonny Angel collection.
