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.

Rilakkuma Daradara Life Marine Series Plush

New blog post for my new darling plush! Here are the daradara life rilakkuma marine series released not too long ago! It's absolutely adorable.  Both rilakkuma and korilakkuma are wearing sailor uniforms and hats.  They make some good looking sailors.  If only San-X would release a kiiroitori sailor as well... he would look absolutely adorable as well.  Just think, a puffy chicken in a sailor uniform... sigh... Anyway, back to rila and kori.  The details in this series is as always on par, from the printing on the uniform to the medallion in the hats to the tags.  Here are the wonderful plushies below...

Rainbow Pajamas

They look like they are wearing pajamas for the 7th anniversary of rilakkuma! The pajamas are rainbow themed and they can be taken off! The inside are lined in a silky material according to the color they are wearing. I guess they are having a pajama party for the 7th year anniversary!

Cafe Servers (Korilakkuma & Kiiroitori For Sale)

Rilakkuma is serving a cup of hot chocolate! I'd like a cup of that! Look at that cute bear face in the cup! Korilakkuma is holding a sweet strawberry cake! I'd like a slice of that! Kiiroitori is serving strawberries (on his head?)! I'd like a piece of that! Actually, kiiroitori looks like he is part of the dessert more than a chick!

Seriously though, I would love to go to a cafe where rilakkuma, korilakkuma, and kiiroitori are serving me delicious drinks and pastries. That would be the best place to be when I am craving sweets! Yum!

Bears in Disguise

The three cuties are trying to fool us!! It would be nice if I had a rilakkuma hat with ears too! Their hats are detachable and the inside lining is a polka dot print of different colors. They are also holding little versions of their friends :) kiiroitori's bear ears are so cute!

Sweet Honey

The honey bees are working hard!! They all put on little bee shorts with wings in the back. They even have antennas on their heads. Too kawaii!! But too bad kiiroitori is missing... I am guessing that korilakkuma is the queen bee and rilakkuma is the worker bee?

Strawberry Pickers

I love strawberries!! Rilakkuma and kiiroitori are dressed up as delicious looking strawberries. And korilakkuma is the strawberry picker!! She found two big strawberries! She has a full basket of strawberries while rilakkuma found a strawberry with bear ears!!

Squirrel Army

There's something about these squirrels that's not quite right... They're pink!! Squirrels aren't usually pink right? But that's what makes them so adorable! :) Anyway, I think rilakkuma is especially cute because of the squirrel cape, it's not like a full suit like korilakkuma and kiiroitori. The cape is actually really cool, the inside is lined with a cute flower pattern, I would like to have one myself and pretend to be a pink squirrel. The cape and the bodysuits are removable! I just wish they made one in my size ^_^

Moo Moo and Clover

The cow rilakkuma is the first ever official rilakkuma plush I bought but still remains as my all time favorite... When I first saw it at kinokuniya, I didn't want to buy it even though I thought he was absolutely adorable with his little bell and ribbon around his neck, and the cute little cow tail (the usual tail of rila is round), and of course the zipper on his back, he is oh so cute!! But then my hubby (boyfriend back then) and I went to see it every time we went to kinokuniya. It was almost as if I went there for the sole purpose of visiting cow rilakkuma. So my hubby finally decided to buy it for me because he figured that eventually someone will buy it (cause it's so cute) and he didn't want me to be disappointed the next time I visit kinokuniya only to find cow rilakkuma gone. Thank you hubby! You were right, they cow rilakkuma were sold out fast! My hubby loves to tease me about how much I like the cow rilakkuma, so he pretends to hate it and abuse my precious cow rilakkuma, he even hung cow rilakkuma once :( but I know he secretly loves rilakkuma just like I do hehehe, it's a love-hate relationship between those two! Anyway, we bought the rilakkuma about 2 years ago at its regular price but now it is so difficult to find another one! And if you are lucky enough to find one, it will surely be very expensive :(

About the cow korilakkuma... I bought her pretty recently on ebay for a decent price. She was used and had a little tiny stain in the back of the head, but it was okay considering no one else was selling it at the time and I desperately wanted to reunite cow rilakkuma and cow korilakkuma!! They look even cuter together! When my hubby vacationed in Japan, he took cow korilakkuma with him because I couldn't go with :( but of course he went to the Rilakkuma Store at the Tokyo station and went on a shopping spree for me muahahahahahaha... He brought back a whole suitcase full of rilakkuma!!

The kiiroitori is looking a little odd there in its clover themed attire... Well that's because in this series, there were 5 different kinds of plushies: cow rilakkuma, cow korilakkuma, clover kiiroitori, clover rilakkuma, and clover korilakkuma. He was part of the set and I was able to get him for a cheap price so I bought him to complete the family. He is nonetheless very cute and detailed with his clover necklace, ladybug on his head, and big clover in his hand. I was never able to find the clover rila and clover kori though :(
