Shopkins Real Littles Sassi Sushi Limited Edition (Season 17) – Authentic Pre-Production

## Shopkins Real Littles Sassi Sushi Limited Edition (Season 17) – Authentic Pre-Production / No Number

Uncover a truly unique piece of Shopkins history with this **Authentic Shopkins Real Littles Sassi Sushi Limited Edition Figure**. Belonging to the popular **Season 17 (Snack Time)** series, Sassi Sushi is known as one of the coveted Limited Edition characters. However, this specific piece is exceptionally rare: it is a **Pre-Production / Factory Sample** produced before the official retail release. As a result, it is **100% Authentic but DOES NOT have the laser-etched serial number** usually found on the back. This item is **sold loose** and is a fascinating oddity for serious collectors who appreciate the production history of their toys.

## The “No Number” Variant: A Collector’s Rarity

Typically, Shopkins Limited Editions come with a specific number stamped on them (e.g., 0100 of 2500). This Sassi Sushi figure comes from the **pre-release production run**. These are items made by the factory to test the molds, paint application, and finish before the final “numbering” stage takes place. Because of this, it lacks the serial stamp. This distinguishes it from the retail version and arguably makes it even rarer, as fewer unnumbered production samples exist than the numbered retail units. It is not a fake; it is a genuine Moose Toys product caught in time before the final step.

## Authentic Design and Finish

Despite lacking the number, this figure features all the hallmarks of the genuine **Sassi Sushi Limited Edition**. It showcases the correct pearlescent, “glitzy” finish that defines the Limited Editions of Season 17. The paint application on the sushi rice, the salmon topping, and the cute Shopkins face is precise and matches the high-quality standards of Moose Toys. You can feel the quality of the plastic and see the correct copyright markings (where applicable), confirming its legitimacy as a true Real Littles figure.

## Season 17 Snack Time Icon

Sassi Sushi was one of the stars of the Season 17 “Snack Time” series, a line that brought real-world packaging and food items to the Shopkins universe. As a Limited Edition, she is one of the hardest figures to find. Owning this “Unnumbered” version gives you a story to tell—it’s a version of the character that was created before she was officially “counted” for the public. It’s a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the toy making process.

## Pre-Owned Condition Note

This figure is listed as **Used** because it is sold **loose without packaging**. It has been stored carefully but may show very minor signs of handling consistent with a factory sample or loose storage. Please review the “In Kind” photos carefully. The absence of the number is the key feature of this listing, and we want to be 100% transparent: if you are looking for a specific number (e.g., #001), this is not it. If you are looking for a rare, authentic unnumbered variant, this is the perfect piece.

## A Unique Addition to Your Display

For the “Master Set” collector or the Shopkins enthusiast who thinks they have everything, this Pre-Production Sassi Sushi is a must-have. It sits perfectly alongside your numbered versions, highlighting the difference, or stands alone as a unique treasure. Don’t miss the chance to own this authentic, unnumbered rarity from the Real Littles world.
