MGA's Miniverse Make It Mini Potions Harry Potter Mini Collectibles, Blind Packaging, DIY, Resin Play, Replica Potions, NOT Edible, Collectors, 8+

These mini potion collectibles are adorable and really detailed. My child (and I!) loved the surprise of the blind packaging, and the DIY resin play aspect is a fun creative twist. They’re small but sturdy, and perfect for display or imaginative Harry Potter play. Definitely a hit for collectors and fans aged 8 and up.

Fans of Harry Potter, or resin crafts will enjoy this collection from Miniverse. Like other Make It series, the contents of each ball is a surprise, and contain one of 12 potions from, or inspired by the Harry Potter Series. We ordered three, and got Hellbore Syrup, Wolfjuice, and Polyjuice potion. Given they're a blind purchase, duplicates are possible. Pretty happy with the results of all three, they're colorful and interesting. Not quite dolls house sized but close.Each set comes with several cute "ingredients" and tools (such as cauldron, spoon etc.) to make your craft. You don't have to use these but it's part of the fun. Also a potion bottle and depending on the craft, other display items.Tips for easy and successful Make it crafting:* Use a UV lamp in the 365nm range. In my experience anything else is unreliable or takes forever. Seems oddly specific but is one of the common features of crafting UV lamps. Doesn't have to be expensive!* When you open the resin "surprise" place it into a warm water bath (sealed). This will make the resin flow more easily and ensure you get as much out as possible. The kits don't give you a lot and sometimes it's stubborn. Especially the thicker mixes.* Take your time! Rushing can make bubbles, and while that may look cool in these potions it's not always desirable* Adding mica powder or mixes to the resin can increase the curing time, be sure it's evenly distributed in the craft otherwise it may not set up at all!* Not really suitable for younger children given the small parts and messy resin, but can enjoy alongside a supervising adult

I am a big time miniature collector and I absolutely love all things Harry Potter collectible wise, so when I saw this product I just knew it was up my collectors alley.My kit came with the Wrym Wood potion, I have included 2 images of what my kit looks like displayed on the miniature table + the final potion inside the larger plastic display potion sphere.Product Quality: The product was surprisingly really well put together. When you open your miniverse package you will find a plastic sphere with everything you need to "brew" your miniature HP potion. The plastic sphere doubles as a potion display case to showcase the potion you obtained from 15 total possible potion options. The kit came with a small plastic 2 piece round table you can build to display your cauldron, ingredients, mixing equipment, and the finished brewed potion.Product Assembly: The kit comes with a small foldable pamphlet that serves as the instruction manual, it is entirely illustrative picture based with no written instructions. Everything you need is inside small easily openable baggies. I would highly advise if you are giving this as a gift to a child, you may want to supervise the entire "brewing" process as there are tons of small pieces that can be lost or spilled. In my kit I had left over pink glitter powder and some left over resin, so there is room for potential error.I recommend using a flat surface to make your potion. The instructions manual claims goggles + gloves are needed. I did not personally use either, I think latex gloves would be too clunky when handling the super small petite miniatures in these kits, but to each and their own to consider goggles and or gloves usage.The resin is very sticky, I was able to clean up my table surface by using warm water, a dish rag, and a tiny drop of dish soap. The cauldron that comes with the kit holds the resin on its interior, once you open the cauldron lid there is a 2nd tin foil cover that can be peeled to access the inner resin reservoir. I washed all of the miniature pieces including the cauldron with warm water + dawn dish soap to remove the sticky resin, I recommend doing this if you plan on keeping all the miniature containers for display.Final Verdict: Overall I absolutely loved this product and was genuinely surprised by the quality. Although most of the pieces are plastic, some of the vials / jars are miniature glass with a real miniature cork topper. Even if you use all the material in the containers they make for super cute miniature props for any miniature collector out there.The hardest part of this entire kit was opening the cauldron lid, I was able to open mine by using my finger nail and some force, surprisingly the cauldron is pretty sturdy so I was worried I would damage it if I used too much force.Overall I would highly recommend to any other miniature collector who wants to add some beautiful unique potions / mini props to their doll houses or miniature scenes. It serves as a great Harry Pottery collectors item too!

So cute and so much fun. I also love that can display these with my monster high doll collection.

The cauldron has the resin liquid in it. It’s difficult to get the seal off, but not impossible. I’ve never used resin before and it’s very sticky. It was fun stirring the powder in. Everything is packaged so beautifully, they really did a great job. The tiny bottles of sparkling powder and mix ins are so adorable. I bought 3 and got 2 of the same, but I’m ok with that because they’re so cute! I couldn’t get the label sticker to remove from the paper backing, but I don’t care. I had to work slowly and with the first bottle, it got a little messy. I’d say definitely for older kids. I’m buying 3 more.
