Happy CNY - Kiiroitori

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year! Last of the year of the snake series, but certainly not least, is the chubby and adorable kiiroitori! This time, tori is sporting a full light green snake suit. He is stuck in a brown and gold colored pot with the year 2013 stitched on in white. I think the pot and tori are separable if you cut tori out, but I wouldn't do that. He is so cute as a chubby snake. Also tori is holding a brown coin/medallion with a 10 on it. Not really sure what it means, but it could be because 2013 is the 10th year anniversary of rilakkuma!! There is actually a smaller snake hiding here next to tori... He is really small but still really cute! I don't think he's a polka dot snake though like the other two plushes, he is just a gold snake.

And there's the family picture ^_^ Happy Chinese New Year!!

Happy CNY - Korilakkuma

Countdown to CNY! Just 2 more days! Let's continue the celebration with more korilakkuma~

Similar to the rilakkuma design, kori is sporting the light green headpiece with the snake face on it. She is also holding a money pouch. The difference is that her pouch is pink (so girly!) and has the word "money" stitched in pink. The golden snake is placed in a different and stylish spot as a scarf!! I am sure the snake is keeping kori very warm... The snake has pink polka dots instead of yellow.

I like the pinkness in kori's design. Her tags are pink, her polka dots are pink, her money pouch is pink... Just the right amount of pink surrounding kori. O yeah, and her ears are pink too. I am pretty sure she is a girl!

Lastly, the paper tags and their little legs in the end picture. The paper
tags feature kori and rila playing with flutes and snakes in a pot? Well, they are just having fun! By the way, where's tori in the tag? He's missing :(

Don't worry, you will see him in the next post ^__^

Happy Chinese New Year - Rilakkuma

Chinese New Year is just around the corner so the year of the snake will officially begin on Feb 10th! To celebrate, let's take a closer look at the year of the snake rilakkuma plush. ^__^

This rilakkuma is wearing a light green head piece that has the face of a snake with his tongue sticking out. There is also a gold snake with yellow polka dots hanging on his head, also with his tongue sticking out. It's like they are twins! Rilakkuma is holding a money pouch with both hands. The word "money" is stitched onto the pouch in white. The pouch is not openable but would be nice if it was a real pouch so I can store new year money in there!

The back of rilakkuma is also very detailed. The back of his head piece has the year 2013 stitched in gold. His signature zipper is stitched on instead of a real zipper. Finally the front of the gold tag has the Chinese character for counting the year of the snake in red. And the back has rilakkuma's face on there. By the way, korilakkuma's tag is in pink instead of red.
