(sign up here to get $5-$10 off your purchase!)

Hey everyone! Today I'll be reviewing my Tokyo Otaku Mode New Year's haul and Lucky bag purchase! PS: excuse the cat in the background, Simon decided to help me take photos for this review

Ever time I receive an order from TOm I say it's the biggest box ever, but this time...

 this time it really was the biggest box I have ever received from them.

And inside the biggest box ever, was the biggest canvas sack ever OAO

 The bag came with a pretty white ribbon and the TOM logo on the front~

 

TOM Lucky Bag B

 Here were all the plushies inside my lucky bag! This was a lot more than I expected, considering it was on a huge sale (only $33 omg) I will also be including the links to each item in the bag

white Namakemono plush ($21.99)

 The first plush was this big Namakemono sloth plush! I think it's face is soooo adorable, and my mom has had her eye on this plush for months! (she is a sloth fanatic) It's fur was super soft and the little leaf in it's "hair" made this plush even more lovable ;w;

big Fuwan-Fuwan ram plushy ($21.99)

 I really feel like I got a great deal with this lucky bag because not one, but TWO large plushies were included! The second large plush I received was this large Wooly ram plush, also from Amuse! I have always seen this little guy on online shops but for some reason I never paid much attention to it, but I feel like a fool now because she is so cute with little pink cheeks and bows <3 I appologize for never noticing you, Wooly.

Coroham plushy set ($35.45)

The next plushies I received were a full set of Corohams! (I believe this series is called "Coron no Daishukaku") I have never seen any of these before, so I'm guessing they're new!

I love all of them, but I think my favorites are the "Hamtaro" colored one and the purple one

Namakemono Mikke medium plush ($9.99)

 The next plush I received was the smaller version of the white sloth I received! A mom and a baby ;u;

A Basket Full of Lemons Rilakkuma plushies ($17.99 each)

 The last plushies from the lucky bag were another complete set, this time they were "A Basket Full of Lemons" Rilakkuma characters! I love their little hats especially, since they are actually made of straw ^0^ 

That was all I received in the Lucky Bag, and I think for $33 that was an AMAZING deal. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep every plush I got, but I thought they were all super adorable. 

Now it's time for the rest of my order, aka the items I chose myself~

 

Marude Pan slippers ($16.99)

The first item I ordered were these delicious looking....house slippers xD They are designed to look exactly like a loaf of French bread, and in my opinion they are pretty convincing!

like a bread

 I have to say that I think these slippers are one of the most clever and funny items on TOM's site. Even the inside of the slippers look like bread! These were probably my favorite purhcase in this order

 

Chuken Mochi Shiba coin purse ($10.99)

 The next item I bought was this Mochi Shiba coin purse! The shiba on this coin purse is named Okaka

 Inside, the coin purse had a shiny blue lining which was very pretty~

Kuru Kuru petit towels ($4.49 each)

The next items I got were two Kuro Kuro petit animal towels, named Raby and Lemon! (Every time I buy little towels like these I can never fold them back to their original shape >3>)

Here they are unfolded, they sort of...remind me of something...

Galaxxxy Gala-han keychain ($5.59)

Next, I got this adorable two-sided Gala-chan dinosaur keychain from Galaxxy brand! I love Galaxxxy's clothing but I don't have the will to pay a heaping amount of money for their clothing. Therefore, their little dinoasaur keychain was the next best thing~

Oh! Sushi ball chain keychain ($3.09)

 The next item I bought was this sushi keychain! It was a random pick, so I couldn't chose which one I got. Somebody else enjoyed it equally as much as I did

Nyanko pouncing kitten plush ($9.99)

The next item I got was this super-cute Nyanko pouncing kitten plush! I originally bought this plush thinking it might have been related to the old Nyanko Burger kitty plushes from early 2000's

  but it turns out it's not. It may be based off the original Nyanko plushies, though, since it has a nearly-identical design! The paws on this plush are also close-able, meaning that you can attatch this kitty to a bag handle and it will hold on!

Kaomoji coin pouch ($3.35)

 The next item I received was this Kaomoji coin pouch! I thought this little dude's face was too cute, and so I had to get it. The smooth silicone texture to this is also very nice =w=

Cardcaptor Sakura compact mirror ($10.00)

 The next item I bought was this CardCaptor Sakura compact mirror! This mirror looked so cute and girly that I had to get it ;w;

It's a bit hard to tell from the photos, but this mirror had a lot of detailed designs carved into it, making it very fancy and pretty~

Neko Atsume rubber clip ($4.29)

 Last but not least, I got this Neko Atsume rubber clip!

While I don't play Neko Atsume yet, I am a big fan of it's many cats. I thought bus cat seemed like a good choice~

*beep beep*

 

~my thoughts~

 

Overall, I was 100% happy with everything I received, not to mention amazed by how much of a great deal the lucky bag was! I think my favorite item in this entire haul was the bread slippers. Beacause...bread. I would recommend the lucky bag especially to anyone just getting into plushy collecting or who doesn't have any Amuse plushies yet, and is hoping to get some! And for just anyone who wants a gigantic bag of cute plushies.

 

*NOTE: I recently saw on tumblr that somebody bought multiple lucky bags, and received the exact same plushies in each bag. I would encourage those interested in lucky bags to simply buy one large lucky bag instead of multiple smaller ones, since apparently the bags aren't entirely random. 

 

All items in this review can be bought at Tokyo Otaku Mode, PLUS, you can sign up here to get $5-$10 off your entire order!  

 

Thank you everyone for reading, and I hope you all have a great 2016!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pixie Store review!

Hey everybody! Today I'm going to share with you some Amuse items I bought from Pixie!

Pixie is a storenvy store that sells Amuse brand plushies, toys, and kawaii goods, and for VERY reasonable prices! plus, with every order they will send you a freebie, depending on the amount that you spent! ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)

Here is what I ordered (images from Pixie):

Tuchineko Sofubi mascots (black, yellow, gray)

Pika Pika Coroham figure

Happy Tails Happy Cham plush (gray)

Happy Tails More Happy plush (dark blue)

Sweets Neko Cafe figures (B and E)

(The cuteness factor is high in this store)

My order arrived in about twelve days after it was shipped, came in a small box ( ´ ▽ ` )

 When I pulled out my items, I was happily surprised to find out that there was certainly more in there than just what I ordered! Quite a bit moreΣ(･口･)

 oh my goodness, it's all so cute. Everything came wrapped together in plastic, and in perfect condition! And...do my eyes deceive me, or do I see multiple extras with my order *0* 

This is 100% right! I received not one, but TWO plushies as extras! 

 The first extra I received was this pastel Pixie sticker, which also came with a business card. I thought both were very pretty and sweet(●♡∀♡)

 The next extra I receved was a licensed, standard-sized Alpacasso plushy!

 (front)

(side)

 (back)

Now, on their website they said that they send out an Alpacasso Heidan plushy with every order, but honestly I wasn't sure if that was true. I mean, a standard sized Alpacasso is something that one would pay $15-20 for, and would probably only receive with a large order. But with Pixie, they sent me this plushy just because I placed an order!  I think that is AMAZING(>ω<)

Also look how cute the little cape is omg

 The next extra I got was this Happy Tails backpack plushy!

No seriously, it's actually a miniature backpack! Little straps and all

 Inside was a little peice of foam so it would keep it's shape, and the tail was the zipper! 

Pixie sends out these little pouches for every order you place that comes to $50, minus shipping. They also sell these little guys in their store for $13, so getting this for free is a major deal! 

Now, on to what I bought~ 

Tuchineko figures ($3 USD each)

The first items I bought were these super-cute Tuchineko figures! These little guys were only $3, and made of soft plastic. I love how each of them have a different face >w>

Also, they squeak!

(I didn't realize they had squeakers inside of them until I squeezed one and nearly had a heart attack) I think the fact that they squeak makes them even more adorable （♥￫ｏ￩♥）

Blue Coroham figure ($5 USD)

The next item I received was this blue Coroham ligh-up figure! When I bought this, I thought it was only glow in the dark because of the picture, but in reality it's EVEN BETTER

On the bottom of the figure is a white area, and when you press it, it light's up!

 Screw disco balls, having a room filled with these at your party is way more cool(ᗒᗊᗕ)

Sweets Neko Cafe figures ($4.50 USD)

 The next items I received were these Sweets Neko Cafe donuts!

(THEY'RE TOO ADORABLE AHHH)

When I bought these, I wasn't totally sure what they were exaclty. The picture was a drawing, not an image of the figures themselves. I had a feeling they were going to be figures, but I didn't know if they were keychains, straps, rubber charms, etc

These donuts are too cute for this world, and have a kawaii decoden style to them! They are also made by Amuse, and I haven't seen them being sold anywhere else. Plus, they were only $4.50! That's insanely cheap!

(the choco donut is cream filled with little pearls( ´ ∀ ` )

Happy Tails plush gray ($16.90 USD)

The next item I received was this gray Happy Tails plush! This plush (along with the blue one) were the two items I was most excited for. I loved this one because of the little sunflower ribbon it had ;w;

On the tag it showed the other Happy Tails characters~

Happy Tails plushies are hard to find, especially for a decent price Dx So when I found that Pixie was selling them for only $16.90, I was ecstatic (´-ω-`) I cried tears of joy

Happy Tails dark blue plush ($16.90 USD)

The next item I received was the second Happy Tails plush in dark blue! This Happy Tails was listed as "happy Tails More Happy." I guess that means this one is happier than the gray one (ﾟﾍﾟ)

(I like how each of the happy tails items I received had different tag designs)
I actually liked the color of this Happy Tails most of all, probably because all the others are very pastel and pale compared to it. Also, the little red ribbon/green clover kind of give it a Christmas-y vibe in my opinion~

☆~Ratings~☆

quality:♥♥♥♥♥
 Everything was in perfect condition, and turned out to be way cooler than I had expected, plus I got TWO full sized plushies as extras! All of the items were authentic Amuse brand, and I had never even known Sweets Neko Cafe existed before I found them on Pixie! A lot of the stuff they sell is difficult to find anywhere, especially the non-alpaca plushies.

shipping:♥♥♥♥♥
Shipping for my order was $10.30, and everything arrived safely and within two weeks~

cost:♥♥♥♥♥
The cost of what I ordered was $56.80, plush $10.30 shipping, which came to a total of $67.10. for all these Amuse goodies, I have no complaint about paying that! Their prices for each item were extremely reasonable, and just about the best I have yet to see~

overall:♥♥♥♥♥
Overall, I wuld give Pixie store a full five stars. I can't describe how happy I am with what I ordered, and the fact that I got two adorable extra plushies! I don't know of any other store who would offer such a good deal. Their prices were very reasonable and they sell just about every Amuse item available, Including ones I didn't know existed! 
I even had a few questions after my order was placed, and I received quick and friendly replies(＾▽＾) I would highly recommend Pixie to anyone looking for hard to find Amuse merchandise, or just cute and kawaii toys in general. I know for a fact I will be placing more orders from them in the future!
