* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Some people who were used to the whimsical, fantasy setting that the toyline maintained in its earlier years did not find the more recent seasons very appealing, which jumped on the bandwagon of being modern, trendy, more realistic, and influencer-inspired, likely because of the success of ''Toys/LOLSurprise'' which influenced several non-fashion doll toylines into being similar to it.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: The Colleggtibles all have eyelashes as the Collector's guide suggests some of them are male. This is somewhat averted in the animated web shorts where Tigrette and a few other masculine Hatchimals lack eyelashes.

Hatchimals Surpise, unlike the original Hatchimals, are more mammalian with some bird features.


* BrokenBase: There are several people who decry that Hatchimals is as a lazy trend as there are folks who think the franchise is adorable and brilliant. The Hatchimals Surprise was met with some contention as the robotic birds lacked beaks and hatched in a different fashion.

* BlackComedy: The Hatchimals [=CollEGGtibles=] app has elements of this. Keep in mind, Hatchimals are perceived to be babies or children.
** The Breezy Beach minigame, where your Hatchimal can swim through the ocean for an increasingly long period of time, and eventually no access to air. Their trip will end with a bump in the head by some random object, despite how far they have gone out to the sea.
** The Cloud Cove minigame has your Hatchimal bouncing through the clouds, akin to ''DoodleJump''. Failing to land on another cloud has the young Hatchimal presumably fall from sky, or even ''space'', depending on how good you were playing.



* FanHater: Several Youtubers had made a minor commitment to criticizing the Hatchimals. Some have taken to destroying the robotic toys to emphasize their point.

** Hatchimals' breakout in the holidays of 2016 was infamous for continuing the trend of the toys being sold out and parents going crazy over that. Resellers were known to mark up the prices to the point of being mentioned on the news.
