Kuroshitsuji Halloween items!

Hey everyone! Today I'm going to share some adorable Kuroshitsuji Halloween items! I know Halloween was like...two months ago, but I'm still feelin' spooky, so you guys are going to have to feel spooky with me. 

 I can't really remember what merchandise was released last Halloween for Kuroshitsuji, but it wasn't nearly as much as this year. This year, I beleive there was a Kuroshitsuji Halloween event, along with TONS of cute little things to collect ;w;

 Because all the Halloween items were either from the event or Ichiban Kuji items, I had to do some serious hunting and use a Japanese shopping service to get them.

 

 The first items I purchaced from the Halloween Ichiban Kuji were the Sebastian Bitter Rabbit cape and the puffy Halloween keychains~

 The Bitter Rabbit cape came in a cute little box, but with no top for some reason.

 ( everyone please take a moment to appreceiate the adorable detail that went into this packaging )

 I love the fact that the sape retained its shape after I dumped it out of the box 

 (if you think I'm not going to be wearing this around the house all day you're very wrong)

Ah, the Sebastian Bitter rabbit cape. I'm thinking maybe "cape" is the wrong word for it, since it has a hood. But it's not a hoodie. It's a cape-hoodie. A hooded cape.

 Here it is all spread out. It's made out of a soft fleece material, kind of like those super-soft fleece blankets that some relative always gives you around cChristmas time because they don't really no what else to give you (you know the kind). I love how it even has the little Funtom Co tag on its ear that the Bitter Rabbit plushies have

The next items I got were the puffy Halloween keychains!

Each one came individually wrapped, along with a little blue envelope

These straps were so orange that it was almost blinding to stare at them all at once, although the detail on them was very nice~ Each character came dressed as something different, and on the keychain was a smaller, plastic charm with an image relating to their costume.

First we have Ciel pirate with sword charm, and Sebastian wolf with moon charm

Next, we have William vampire with rose charm, Grell witch with skull cany charm, and Ronald dragon (?) with pumpkin charm

And last, we have Sebastian bitter rabbit also as a warewolf with a bat charm, and Ciel Bitter Rabbit as a pirate 9I honestly can't tell what the little symbol inside the lantern is)

Sadly, there was no Undertaker keychain this time, but the set is still adorable

Also, the little blue envelope contains seven pieces of paper that look like tickets. I'm not sure how the Ichiban Kuji raffle works, but maybe these are confirmation slips for the keychains. 

WHERE TO GET:

I bought these items from Yahoo Auctions Japan using a shopping service, so my suggestion would be to browse around Amazon.jp and Yahoo auctions.jp to find them using a shopping service. I'm not sure how many of the capes or keychains are left over from Halloween, but if you plan to try and buy them I would suggest doing it soon because they are running out! I paid about $23 for the cape, and $17 for the keychain set (not including shipping), so I would say that's a good price estimate to start with.

Kuroshitsuji 10th anniversary Bottle straps!!

Hey everyone! Today I'm going to share with you the long-awaited Kuroshitsuji 10th Anniversary bottle straps! 
The "concept art" for these straps were released probably at least a year ago, as one of Yana Toboso's drawings. Months later, sketches of the straps were realeased, including  secret strap .

I was sort of hoping the straps would stay in that sketchy style, but I love the colored ones as well~

The straps came in a little plastic box sealed in bubble wrap, with a paper ribbon on the front

 The ribbon reads: "We certify that this article has been entirely manufactured by Funtom Co. Please keep this card with care." (even though Funtom is a made up company but OH WELL)

 The box is clear with cute golden print all over it 

 beautiful.

The straps were a bit smaller than I had imagined, but they managed to cram a lot of detail into them! 

 (closeups)

Each strap came with a paper background, which looked like a tiny stage with curtains and all ;w; I sort of felt bad having to take them off

  

Here are the straps without the backgrounds:

 

Now, I just want to point out that the mystery strap, was in fact, a second Sebastian-only more derpy devilish. I have to say, this Sebastian strap takes the cake when it comes to facial expressions. I mean look at him, hes probably sommoning all of hell within that tiny bottle. Thank god he's contained >3>

Overall, I was very impressed with how much detail was put into the straps and their packaging. I think these may be the fanciest straps Kuroshitsuji has ;w; Derpy demon Sebastian was priceless, as well as upside-down Undertaker stuffed in that tiny jar xD

WHERE TO GET:

Because these are limited edition (or special in some way, because I think only special items come with that ribbon card), I'm not totally sure they are still in stock or for sale, but the site I bought them from was Square Enix store. Unless you live in Japan, I think you will need a Japanese shopping service to order them (I just ordered mine with my Undertaker figure to save shipping lol) The straps were 4,900JPY, or $39.89 USD.

So if you are able to purchase these straps still, I would highly suggest doing it! Also if you plan on buying them, please buy the entire set, because that's the only way you will be able to receive derpy Sebby.  And you don't want to miss your opportunity to own derpy Sebby. 

Thank you for reading~!

  

Undertaker figure review!!

Guys. it's here. What we've all been waiting for. THE UNDERTAKER FIGURE HAS ARRIVED!!! I remember when the news first hit tumblr, and everyone was freaking out about the fact that an actual official Undertaker figure would be released. That was a good 7+ months ago, and now....it is here.

The figure came wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap, with little Undertaker strap hanging on for dear life

Because I ordered the figure directly from Kotobukiya's shop (using a shopping service), I got this little Undertaker strap as an extra! Each of the "chess piece" Kuroshitsuji figures have their own mini strap of the figure

Also, as an additional extra, they sent me a Halloween UT and Grell gift bag! Ciel and Sebastian are on the other side but we don't care about them. 

The box Undertaker comes in is pretty fancy, with small details and reflective embelishments 

On the back of the box were more fancy designs, plus UT on a checker board! It's odd how Grell, Sebastian, and Ciel all have chess pieces their figures were modeled after, but Undertaker doesn't. I wonder if this is somehow symbolic

The plastic holding Undertaker in the box even had a little hole for his face to poke out of. Hey UT, how's it goin' in there?

The figure came in three pieces: Undertaker, his scythe, and the platform.

The figure came with a little instruction sheet for putting him together 

Just thought I might mention that in order to have him hold his scythe, you gotta RIP HIS HAND OFF

 Look at this glorious heehee. This is a VERY intricate figure, and the shading and details are amazing *0* Let's just take a moment to appreciate all of his details

(his little face omg) 

Now, I thought I might mention that Undertaker fiogure does NOT have visible eyebrows, at least none that are gray. The does have two small skin-colored lines around the eyebrow area, but they are very small. Therefore, we can conclude that UT is an old-ass man who's eyebrows have whithered away due to age.

Look at that UT

beautiful. 

 For now, Undertaker figure is going to be hanging out with the magical girls on my figure shelf until I can truly put together a UT shrine~

So yes, after months and months and LOTS OF MONEY, my Undertaker is safe and sound in my room. This is by far the fanciest and most detailed anime figure I own, and I cherish it dearly ;w; 

WHERE TO GET IT: 

*disclaimer- I'm going to tell you right now that this is not, nor wil it ever be a cheap figure. Expect to pay $125 at the average.*

 

I bought my UT figure directly from Kotobukiya using a shopping service, but honestly that was probably the most expensive way to get it. The only reason I would suggest buying it this way is if you really want the extra strap.

Right now, the best and CHEAPEST place to buy this figure would be from Tokyo Otaku Mode. The figure automatically comes with free shipping, and if you sign up for their site here, you get $10 off Undertaker. So, with free shipping plus $10 off, you would be paying a total of $109 for the figure, which is the best anywhere so far.

AmiAmi is also selling the figure, but with shipping it will probably come out to around $130.
