But what if I want to put flowers all over -MY- room???? ;D

Not really sure what you get with the zoo combos... multiple sheets? We just did my daughter's room (soon-to-become daughter and son's room) with these decals, and the single sheets come in monkey, lion, giraffe and elephant, with the tree being its own separate sheet. I bought a single sheet of each from Amazon for less than half the price of these. Looks like these might be two sheets of animals plus one tree sheet. Good price, but I like the variety of all the different animals.

As far as the quality of these decals, they're phenomenal. Easy to put on and to reposition if you need to make adjustments - we had to re-do our elephant twice because he was uneven. Just be careful when peeling off the sheets - they can tear, and make sure you smooth the air bubbles out as you go. The larger animal decals are definitely a two-person job.

Our daughter LOVES her jungle room. It's been up a couple months and so far no peeling or anything. They look great!

A couple pics of what they look like in an actual (messy) kids' room:

Was looking at getting the glow in the dark stars. 17.99 on the wallpops website. $5 shipping. (At least for me on Fedex Ground)

Some of the others are lower as well. But check the specs. The counts on a few are higher, hence the higher price.

I could have used these as a kid... I drew dinosaurs all over the walls with glow-in-the-dark crayons. XD Not sure if my parents ever found out, and sometimes I wonder if they're still on the wall.

On a side note, there is something terribly wrong with the Triceratops's frill. Most notably, it's absence. :/

It's not your phone - it's on my computer also. The U has an owl, the I has an armadillo, the Q has a weird thing with 6 legs and I have no idea what flower is on the O.

My guess is that these were designed by folks whose first language is not English.

Also looking at the Outer Space Glow in the Dark decals. Here's the same item on Wallpops.com:

Planets Glow in the Dark Wall Art Kit

Both Woot and Wallpops show the same photos, and the specs don't say anything about quantity, so I'm left puzzled. Woot's "retail price" is double what the manufacturer charges direct, so if this is really 2 sets for $23.00, it's a great deal. If it's only a single kit, it's overpriced.

Woot, clarify please?!

Twin Packs
Dinosaurs Glow Wall Decals
WallPops Outer Space Glow Wall Decals
Monkey Group Wall Decals
Giraffe Group Wall Decals
Elephant Group Wall Decals
Pastel Butterflies Wall Decals
Cutsie Blooms Wall Decals


The ABC and 123 sets are single packs.

We'll update the sale pages to make sure this is more obvious.

Thanks TT, you're the best!

The ABC set is made by Spirit, sold through WallPops. I think it's Dutch: Hippo = nijlpaard, owl = uil, etc.

So what is this vendor's excuse for not shipping to those of us serving overseas? I understand the area rug and monkey bars justifications with linear and overall size restrictions of the USPS. But what possible reason could there be that stickers can't be sent to an APO! I was so relieved to have finally found a way to personalize the walls in my kids' rooms in base housing. No such luck it seems. Wall Pops you say, I say Wall Poops!!

The O is an orchid.

I N Q R and U are the ones I don't get. It seems odd that they wouldn't be able to figure out that animals might start with different letters in other languages.
