Goodbye...

Hi everyone, thanks for all your support and reading my blog! I decided to move to Wordpress for better mobile editing.  I do 90% of my blogging through my iPhone and the Blogger app is just not cutting it, so I decided to try the Wordpress app.  Wordpress is just much more convenient.  Sorry Blogger, you've been good to me, thanks for everything ;(

I will be moving to rilakorila.wordpress.com for future posts and updates.  

Wonderland Craze

The wonderland float set is sold out already!  I was trying to purchase some exclusives on the San-X Net Shop an hour ago and it was took extremely long to load everything on that webpage.  I am sure that's because everyone was trying to purchase the float set!  I was only trying to purchase the three horses but it was rough!  I refreshed my page at exactly 10:00 am Japan time to get the add to cart button to show up but it took forever to load the page... rila fans flooded to site... lol.  This was my first time ordering from the Net Shop hehe, hopefully it will work out.  I ordered a total of 9 plushies!  Big spender here lol... shame on me hahaha

Attack on Rilakkuma

I went to Anime Expo, an anime convention Los Angeles, during the 4th of July weekend and it was a blast!  What made it the best Anime Expo ever was because I saw this guy's cosplay!! It as totally awesome.  For those of you who don't known who he is cosplaying, it's the anime show/manga called "Attack on Titans".  It's quite popular recently and I was hooked on it.  For me to see Rilakkuma in 3DMG (the characters in Attack on Titan all wear this outfit) is totally awesome!  I spotted him from very far away and literally sprinted all the way across the hall to take a picture with him.   His cosplay was so impressive!

Rilakkuma Aloha Playset - Lawson Exclusive

I finally got this in the mail!  More like a week ago hehehe,  I just never had time to take pictures of them.  This is absolutely adorable and the details on this set is just amazing as always.  I pre-ordered this set early this year and now it's finally released.  This was also my first time using Tenso, since Faith's guide to using Tenso seemed so easy, I had to try it myself too.  I feel like I saved a lot on commission since sellers in Japan or auction proxy services are pretty expensive.  I only had to pay an extra 500 yen, it was such a steal!  I was a little nervous that it might not work out but it worked like a charm!  I highly recommend Tenso ^_^

Rilakkuma Bath Time Series Exclusives

So after using a few bath bombs, I decided it's time to dig out this Bath time set.  These three were all special releases of July 2012.  If my memory is right... I think Rilakkuma was a Kiddyland exclusive, Korilakkuma was a Caravan exclusive, and Kiiroitori was a Rilakkuma Store exclusive. 

Another Wonderland Release?

So I just saw this on the official Rilakkuma blog and I am quite excited over it even though I am already overwhelmed by the regular and exclusive releases San-X announced for the wonderland series...

I believe there are... regular marching band set (6 plushies), rilakkuma store exclusive marching band set (3 plushies), riding carousel horse (3 plushies), red sequin jackets 10 year anniversary set (3 plushies), float set (3 plushies)... The numbers just keep piling...

Bath Bomb Time!

I went through some more bath bombs and here they are!  I really like what I got, since I am never disappointed by Rilakkuma cuteness. Unless I get doubles... That's the worst ughhhh hahaha

Nanoblocks - Relaxing Rilakkuma, TV, and Dango

Here is another nanoblock post!  I must warn you that it is a very photo intensive post.  I've been so excited for the arrivial of this set.  I preordered this nanoblock set on amiami a long time ago even before they released any official pictures of how it was going to look like.  Of course, I got the korilakkuma one too.  Rilakkuma is in a really cute and lazy pose here and I couldn't wait to put it together!  I think it took only a little more than half an hour to finish and I was

taking pictures after each step so it might not even actually take that long.  The difficulty on this set is only 2 stars.  

Rilakkuma - It's A Relaxing Time in the Paradise!

These cuties are ready for fun in the sun!  This set of plushies were released in February by San-X.  It wasn't quite summer yet back when I got them but now they are very suitable for the hot summer sun!  I love that Rilakkuma and Kiiroitori are in matching tees and skirts.  The always stylish Kori is wearing an super cute pink sun dress.

New iPhone 5 Case

This iPhone case is not baby friendly... the unfortunate truth after I found out the hard way.  By no means is this phone case defected, I love it.  It's so cute and girly and sparkly.  But as my husband already knew before I even took it out of the package, that my two year old would pick at the sparkly jewels.  She broke a piece off the second she got her hands on it.  It was devastating...  I was so sad... but fortunately, the piece glued right back so no permanent damage was done.  And now, I only use this case on baby free occasions which is almost never.  But either way, I love this case, it's so sparkly that I just wanted to own it.

Ta-da!! so sparkly and girly, I especially like the heart shaped pieces

Rilakkuma Happiness Plushes

This set of plushes were released a long time ago, around September of 2007. There were released as a set of 5, but I was only able to find 4 of them. The whole set consists of a Love Rilakkuma , Love korilakkuma, Friend Rila, Friend Kori, and Money kiiroitori. I am currently missing the Korilakkuma Love Plush but that's okay.

I found the two friends rila and kori with the money kiiro in a physical store in Vancouver. I was so excited to find the trio. They were such an old series and to be able to find them was such a joy!! Of course I had to do some inspecting on whether they were authentic or not, and seems to me they were, so I had to bring them home! Then I found the lonely love rila on eBay ^_^

Family Photo

Mother's Day Rilakkuma

I know it's not Mother's Day anymore but I have a little something to blog about that is Rilakkuma and Mother's Day related. I think around April, San-X advertises flower basket deliveries with a Rilakkuma plush in the flower arrangement. And when I saw that, I remembered that San-X once released plushes for Mother's Day! It was way back in April 2008. My hubby got me this plush for Valentine's Day last year not knowing it was a Mother's Day themed plush, but either way, I love it!

San-X released a Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma version, and unfortunately not Kiiroitori, he sometimes gets left out :( Anyway, it comes in a clear box for displaying, and once out of the box, the flower/towel can be put into Rilakkuma's arms. The box tag says that this is a "Arigatou Nuigurumi" meaning "Thank You Plush" and I guess it is used to thank the hardworking mothers who receive this plush from their loved ones. ^_^ The right butt area has a red rose with the words "Thanks Day" embroidered in gold. It is so cute, I am sure the Korilakkuma version would be just as charming in person! According to the promotion picture, the flower bouquet can be unwrapped and turned into a towel and fake rose. I don't think I would ever unwrap it! It's too perfect the way it is now and I probably cannot wrap it back the way it was before. ^_^ Oh, and I am not low on little towels lol.

My clear box is super dusty... shame on me for not cleaning...

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! My daughter got me rilakkuma tees! Not really, it was my wonderful husband hehehe. Too adorable ^_^

The tees are officially licensed from San-X and they are super soft. They quality seems to be very nice as well. The company that makes them is called Goodie Two Sleeves. Never heard of them, but definitely will check them out after finding out they have rilakkuma tees!!! I love the dancing kori design!

Aloha Rilakkuma Series - Sunburnt Caravan Exclusive

Wow, I just realized I haven't updated in quite a long time! I actually took these pictures with the other aloha series plushies but i never got around to post about this Caravan version. It's long overdue but here it is - the sunburnt, lei wearing, grass skirt sporting rilakkuma!

Rilakkuma is wearing sunglasses again, this time normal shape ones. He is definitely not afraid of wearing a skirt. The grass skirt is very well made, I don't have to worry about it fraying or coming apart at all. My favorite accessory on this plush is the lei, it is so pretty! Each flower had a center made of three gold beads, so gorgeous! The back of the lei is tied with a ribbon, which I think is a nice touch.

Other than what rilakkuma is wearing, his facial expression is so sweet! He looks like he is both overheating from the sun and enjoying his time ^_^ The most special thing about this plush is if course the color. It is a darker brown than the usual rilakkuma plush. Comparing with the regular plush, he is really burnt! I don't think the picture comparison captures the difference in color too well, but in person, the difference is more prominent. I think this version is so unique!

Finally, the paper tag is also very cute with art featuring rilakkuma, korilakkuma, and kiiroitori likely doing the hula dance all wearing leis. The top left corner says "caravan" to indicate that this plush is a special version plush.

Rilakorila's One Year Anniversary!

My blog has reached its first birthday! I am glad to have shared my love for Rilakkkuma with everyone for a whole year ^_^

I actually didn't remember until I saw my first ever post. It's been fun talking all about the adorable rilakkuma!

Aloha Rilakkuma Series - Rilakkuma Store Exclusive

Aloha from Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma! These babies were released on Feb 2nd and were only available at rilakkuma stores. Again, no kiiroitori in sight :( I miss him!! It seems like most of the exclusives exclude kiiroitori. Anyway, rila and kori are ready to vacation at the tropical islands!

Rilakkuma and korilakkuma are both wearing suglasses! How adorable! Rila is wearing yellow sunglasses with kuma ears on each eye. These kuma ears are what sold me on this design! At first I was contemplating on buying this set, but the ears on the sunglasses stole the show since the regular version does not have te ears on the sunglasses. Kori is wearing hot pink heart-shaped sunglasses. Onto the outfits, the duo are wearing Hawaiian shirts in baby blue and pink! The word rilakkuma is stitched onto their backs. The details are so intricate! Also the print on the shirts are amazing, there are rilakkumas all over with Hawaiian flowers and palm trees. I am never disappointed by the art on the paper tags, rila and friends look like they are having so much fun enjoying shaved ice. Now I want to go to Hawaii...

Rilakkuma Birthday Cake Series #5 - Berry Cream Tart

These adorable birthday cake plushes .ywere released for the 3rd anniversary of the Fukuoka Rilakkuma Store. The plushes were released on March 15. It looks to me that this design in based on the berry cream tart but I am not sure...

Anyway, the design is as always very detailed and adorable. This time around, Rilakkuma wears puffy shorts and a little hat, while korilakkuma wears a removable cape and a headband. The big bow around rilakkuma's neck is in a very pretty magenta color. His puffy shorts are separated in the pink color representing the cream and yellow color representing the tart. Many berries are attached on there such as blueberries, strawberries and pinkberries? Korilakkuma is wearing a cape instead of her usual poncho. The design on the cape is similar to rilakkuma's shorts.

My absolute favorite part of this series is the little hat/headband! This strawberry is too cute! It has kuma ears! I also love that kori has a headband and ties into a bow in the back. It adds just the amount of uniqueness to this design. ^_^

Well this concludes the birthday cake series for now! Until the next store anniversary! Thank you for reading my posts~

Rilakkuma Birthday Cake Series #4 - Jello Fruit Bowl

To celebrate the 4th Anniversary of the Tokyo Rilakkuma Store, San-X released these birthday cake plushes. At first look, I thought they were just cake with fruits on top, but upon further inspection, I believe that the theme is actually fruits on top of a bowl of colorful jello! (Based on the paper tags) I purchased this set because I liked the overall look and that I love the orange slices on their outfits, but I like it even more now because I like jello a lot >_< my favorite jello flavor is probably orange.

So for this outfit, both rilakkuma and korilakkuma are wearing puffy shorts and bows around their necks. The bows are made of a really nice material, unlike the previous series, which is just regular ribbons. The bows are really nice and thick, I think they make the outfit come together, without them, I think the neck area would be really empty. As for the puffy shorts, I think the pattern on them are really interesting, the base color fades from light blue to white, which kind of imitates the glass bowl that holds the jello. And then there are colorful squares to represent the jello ^_^ I really like the effect it gives off. The assorted fruits attached onto the shorts are quite nice, there are strawberries, slices of oranges, and melon balls/grapes? I think the green ball on rila a shorts is either a melon ball or grape but I am really not sure what te pink ball is on kori's shorts... Any ideas? My favorite thing is the little chocolate pieces sprinkled onto the fruits, some are circular and some have kuma ears! Aaah, so adorable! Lastly, I like the fruits next to their ears too, kumas gotta accessorize to look stylish!

I do find it kind of silly because they are wearing jello bowls hehehe >_<

Rilakkuma Aloha Deluxe Plush Set

OMG this is beyond cute!! But soooo expensive!! At first when I saw this on the Facebook page of San-X Rilakkuma, I thought the plushies were gonna be sold individually but this is such a cool idea! The kuma island is adorable! It's preorder now at the San-X net shop for 10,500 yen. So expensive :'( I am still really excited about this one, even thought I might not be getting it. It's going to be released late June. You can preorder it here

Rilakkuma Birthday Cake Series #3 - Strawberry and Chocolate Cake

Ta da! Introducing the Kichijoji 2nd Anniversary Plushes! Released on October 6th, they really are cakes this time, not ice cream or pudding or non-cake dessert. It was a little odd to me that San-X named this series "birthday cake" but the first two of the series were not cakes at all. Well, it looks to me, this cake is probably a chocolate and strawberry cake.

Rilakkuma and korilakkuma are wearing different outfits this time around. Rila is wearing a hat and shorts? i am not sure what to call them... a hood? puffy pants? Also, kori is wearing a poncho again. I think kori looks so adorable in ponchos, maybe even cuter than rila... But rila looks cool in the hat too! I am not sure if the hat is removable because the bow is sewn tight, so I didn't try to remove it. As for kori's poncho, of course removable. The design on those poncho/shorts/hat has the different colors showing the layers of the cake, with lots of strawberries in between. Quite tasty just thinking about it... A layer of chocolate cake and a layer of cream and a layer of strawberries, and repeat... Yum! Craving cake right about now~

Back to the design, I wish rila had a strawberry on his head like kori, because that would be delicious~

Rilakkuma Birthday Cake Series #2 - Pudding

Look at these cute little puddings :) they were released on September 15 to celebrate the 4th anniversary of the Umeda Rilakkuma Store! They look exactly like the puddings.

Rilakkuma and korilakkuma are both wearing removable yellow/brown ponchos. Just like the mint ice cream plushes, they have the Velcro underneath the bows. The sides are also lined with white fuzzy trimmings, making them look extra cozy. As for the design of the poncho, I love the little pom poms at te bottom. I don't think they are part of the dessert, but they are fun little decorations for the poncho. (Edit: after looking closely at the tags again, i think the pom poms are suppose to be cream next to the cherry?) The back has the "Happy 4th Birthday! Umeda." in gold stitching. Lastly, the topping on rila and kori's heads are red and pink cherries. The paper tag is the shape of a pudding and the colors of the cherries on top correspond accordingly. I like that San-X always make rilakkuma and korilakkuma's tags a little different, even though it might be a very subtle difference. It makes each tag that much more special and unique.

This set of plushes was actually the most expensive out of all the birthday series because my seller does not live near Umeda and could not go to the physical store to get it. I had to go to yahoo auction for it. I ended up paying more for it because I thought it was quite limited and got it right after it was released. But turns out there were plenty of way cheaper "buy it now" auctions a few days later. Sometimes waiting could mean the price will go up, sometimes it goes down depending on the how limited the plushes are... It's all different for different plushes and I can never predict it >_< but usually I give in and buy them early... I am too obsessed with rilakkuma hahaha...

By the way, the Umeda store is actually the first ever Rilakkuma Store in Japan!

Rilakkuma Birthday Cake Series #1 - Chocolate Chip Mint Ice Cream

I am going to be doing a birthday cake series this week featuring all the birthday cake themed plushes released by San-X so far for celebrating the anniversary of different Rilakkuma stores. As I have done my research in the past, I noticed that the plushes that celebrate store birthdays never include kiiroitori :( super sad face... But the rilakkuma and korilakkuma turn out to be very well designed for this birthday series. Versus before, they were either in hoodies, wearing aprons, or in a shopping bag. I am glad they decided to change up those designs to this confectious series.

To start off this series, I am going to introduce the first birthday cake released - the chocolate chip mint ice cream cones. It was released on september 8th to celebrate the first anniversary of the Sapporo Rilakkuma Store. I instantly fell in love with this series, probably because this mint color is quite stunning! Also, I don't think rilakkuma has ever been in this color before. Right away, I knew I had to have this series!

The pair are wearing a mint colored poncho that is removable (under the bow is a Velcro piece, so no need to untie the bow). The side has white and fuzzy trimmings that makes them look so cozy. On the mint poncho are little dots that represent the chocolate chip. The brown dots are stitched on. The back has "Happy 1st Birthday! Sapparo." in gold stitching. At the bottom of the poncho is a waffle cone print imitating the ice cream cone. My absolute favorite detail for this design has to be the mint leaves on top of their poncho. The veins on the leaves are stitched on in green. I think it's so cute, it makes the perfect topping to this dessert. As always, the tags are also well designed, it looks like ice cream cones ready to be eaten. It roughly says on there "Rilakkuma Store Limited Product Birthday Cake Plush (Sapporo Store 1. Year Anniversary)." Rilakkuma's waffle cone has a darker color than Korilakkuma's waffle cone on the paper tag.

That's all for now! I just love pointing out all the details in the designs :) there are so many and it's those little details that makes me want to buy all these plushes... Definitely makes me feel that they are worth it!

My daughter was disrupting the photo shoot lol... She kept ripping off the ponchos!

Rilakkuma Macaroon

My brother-in-law's girlfriend made rilakkuma macaroons for me because they know I love rilakkuma. They are too thoughtful ^_^ The macaroons are so tasty! The outside is crunchy and the inside is chewy. It was chocolate flavored and very sweet. I don't think I should've ate so many but I could not resist because I love chocolate and rilakkuma. Double the appeal! Yummy~

Rilakkuma "Red" Envelopes for Chinese New Year

Traditionally, parents are suppose to give red envelopes with money inside to their kids for CNY. The amount inside is not important, it's the thought that counts. So I was preparing these red envelopes for my daughter last night. Even though they were not red, I used them anyway because they were rilakkuma!! They come with really cute stickers to seal the envelopes with.

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.

Next up: Year of the Snake Korilakkuma ^_^

Bath Bomb Time

I love taking bubble baths and I have been loving these rilakkuma bath bombs! They are really fun. So you drop it into your bath and it will sink to the bottom. While you relax in the tub, the bath bomb will completely dissolve, and the little figure inside will float to the surface of the water and surprise you! In each series, there are six different figures featuring rilakkuma, korilakkuma, and of course kiiroitori. Usually there is only one kiiroitori in the series so I feel like it's the rare one and thus happier when I get a kiiroitori.

So this week, I used up 4 of these bath bomb and very satisfied with the figures I got, pictures below! ^_^

The chocolate and coffee themed one is strawberry scent. I got the one with rilakkuma holding onto a piece of chocolate. That is exactly the one I wanted ^_____^ it's really special, except when it floats, it's upside down because the bottom is heavier than the top.

The honey one is honey scent. I used two of these and got the korilakkuma with a honey bottle and kiiroitori as a bee. I was glad to get these two because previously I had pretty bad luck and got doubles of the korilakkuma holding the honey stick lol

And the Paris bonjour one is grapefruit scent. I got the one with rilakkuma in a stripped shirt and beret. It's one my favorite rilakkuma looks, so I was happy to get this one.

All the bath bombs smelled really nice after you drop it into the water.

Rilakkuma Re-ment Birthday Cake

Yet another new re-ment set for rilakkuma! This one I am excited for! It should be released late April this year. When you look closely, the cakes all have the number 10 candles on them. I believe it's because of the rilakkuma 10th year anniversary!! That is so thoughtful! ^_^ so depending on your preference of past rilakkuma themes, hopefully you will get the one you like because these should be blind boxes as usual. But since I love all the themes, I am gonna get the whole set. Eight cakes in total, all too kawaii. So in order (1) is a lemon cake, (2) is a dome cake, (3) is a berry Charlotte cake, (4) is a strawberry purée cake, (5) is a forest themed roll cake, (6) is a heart shaped cream cake, (7) is a honey cake, and lastly (8) is a Paris chocolate cake.

My favorites have got be (5) and (8). The forest cake is genius! The roll cake disguised as the trunk of a tree! And also because I am a big fan of the squirrel and mushroom. As for the Paris chocolate cake, I love the decorations!! From The monogram print on the cake, to the Eiffel Tower chocolate plate, and to the color coordination are so well thought out. I just love everything about this cake. I wish I could have a real one for my birthday, but this miniature one will do!!

Year of the Snake

My favorite year!! Because it's my year!! Brought these cuties with me on vacation in Canada and enjoying their company ^_^ I am biased because it's my year and I think they are too cute. The snake scarf on kori is how I would style this fashionable item. And you can't forgot the money pouch for good luck. Kiiro is just so puffy and adorable. I think San-x made him extra puffy haha. As always the details are amazing on the little plushes. The 2013 stitching in the back (not pictured) in the back is a nice touch.

I was actually a little worried before San-x released the pictures of the design cause I never really thought snakes were any cute... But I was wrong! San-x is always on par with their cute designs. The color is perfect and the quality is impeccable.

Re-ment Update

Rilakkuma sure is popular! Since my last re-ment post in July, re-ment has released 4 more rilakkuma themed sets. There's 3 miniature meal sets and 1 miniature Japanese snack set.

The first set is called Hokkori Time. The one is quite boring because I think it's just a variant of sets already released. Some of the colors just look a bit different. So I decided not to get this one. The pamphlets that come inside the box looks interesting but not enough to get me to make this purchase...

As for the second set, it's called Small Snacks. I love certain pieces in this set like the (2) drop candy, (8) strawberry snack, or (10) potato snack... Just kidding I love them allllllll!!! Seriously though, I already got enough mascot/keychains lying around that last me a life time... So I decided not to get this one as well.

Third set is the Egg Kitchen. This one I LOVE, so I got. I love tamago so this one is a must have. My absolute favorite from this set is (5) Soft Egg Waffle. Because I own the same waffle maker and failed to make waffles (mistakenly used pancake batter and failed miserably and forever gave up...) at least I will have miniature versions for perfect waffles made from the waffle iron. And (7) Egg Shaped Cupcake is cool too... So cute.

Lastly, the most anticipated set for me! The Aloha Rilakkuma. I've always wanted to visit Hawaii so this set will bring me one step closer lol. No, I really want to get this one because of Stitch (from Lilo and Stitch). Re-ment once released a Hawaiian themed set for Stitch and this rilakkuma set will definitely match/compliment that set ^___^ And of course, because rilakkuma is too cute in Hawaiian gear.

Watching Stitch right now~

Rilakkuma & Korilakkuma Piano Scarf UFO Plush

Got these February of last year in Japan. Hubby got these for me on the trip to Tokyo. He loves playing UFO and he's gotten pretty good, so he said they didn't cost too much! ^_^

The plushes are pretty big and the material is pretty soft. The piano scarf is so cute, I want one myself. The music note on the scarf is a nice touch too, pink for kori and baby blue for rila. Only the tag for kori is still there because my daughter ruthlessly ripped off the one on rila :( lol

Also from the UFO catcher is this chocolate brown rilakkuma cushion. I think it's suppose to be a brownie or a piece chocolate with a little bit of whipped cream near the ear. It looks pretty delicious. It's been used quite a bit because my daughter loves to use it as a seat cushion on the floor. It's pretty comfy to sit on. Since it's dark brown, you can't really tell how dirty it really is (it's been sitting on the ground the longest time) I find it pretty useful, my daughter just loooooves to sit on the ground, so I make her sit on rilakkuma instead... sorry rila (T ^ T)
