☆ YouMe cafe Book of Circus merch review ☆

Hello, everyone! Today I will be sharing with you some anime merchandise that I hold near and dear to my heart (mostly because it was only sold for a limited time):

 My  Undertaker and Grell merch from YouMe Cafe! sold to me by the lovely vvlin91 on tumblr~

When I first heard that both YouMe Cafe and Animate Cafe in Japan were selling these adorable items EXCLUSIVELY at their cafes, my heart sunk like the Campania.  I knew that these items would eventually be popping up on sites like Yahoo!auctions Japan, but for horribly high prices. 

Just when I though all hope was lost, I found vvlin91's blog on tumblr and found out that she had access to YouMe cafe and all of its glorious cafe merch (´▽`ʃƪ) truly a miracle.

Undertaker cafe badge: 20HKD ( 2.58 USD)

The first item I bought was this adorable badge, featuring little Undertaker dressed in a waiter uniform >u< so cute<3 It is a very sturdy badge and is about  4.5 cm in diameter. It's a decent size for a badge, and also very shiny~

Fancy Undertaker charm: 50HKD (6.45 USD)

The second item I bought was this fancy-looking Undertaker charm (for lack of a better word). It is very detailed for its small size, and the little Undertaker face in the center is, again, very shiny~ 

Undertaker and Grell rubber keychains: 50HKD each (6.45 USD)

The last items I bought were the two rubber keychains of Grell and Undertaker! Just like the badge, these keychains are HUGE (which I adore). If I remember correctly, these were only sold at random, meaning you were not able to pick and chose the characters you wanted, so I feel very lucky that I was able to get both of the ones I wanted. My favorite thing about these two is that they both have cute little stars on their hair/hats ￣∇￣

☆~Ratings~☆

quality:♥♥♥♥♥

I must admit- when I first found out that these were cafe-exclusive items, I wondered whether or not they would be of the same quality as the mass-produced Kuroshitsuji merchandise-and thankfully, they were! Not only are the items larger than normal, they are also very well made and cute~

cost:♥♥♥♥♥

I have no complaints about how much I paid for these items. I was given the price that they were originally being sold for, which made me very happy. I later saw on Yahoo!Auctions Japan that these items were being sold for CRAZY prices (like 50+ USD for one keychain), so I was even more thankful to have gotten them so cheap.

communication:♥♥♥♥♥

vvlin91 provided excelent communication on both how much I would end up paying for each item+shipping and for when her next trip to the cafe would be so people would have time to place their orders. 

shipping:♥♥♥♥♥

Shipping was very quick and cheap, and the items all arrived packaged sefely.

overall:♥♥♥♥♥

I have zero complaints about this order, and will definitely place more orders from vvlin91 in the future if any more hard to get Kuroshitsuji items come around. 

☆~Links~☆

I bougt all four items from vvlin91 on tumblr! She is still selling Kuroshitsuji and anime-related merchandise, so I would suggest checking out her blog!

Sadly I think all of the YouMe Cafe items are sold out just about everywhere, since they were being sold in January. If you still want to try and hunt them down, I would suggest searching on Yahoo!Auctions Japan or FromJapan shopping service. Just be prepared for high prices if you do find some left.
