(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.

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tokyo Otaku Mode fruit-themed haul! (#4)

 

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

Hey everyone! The Tokyo Otaku Mode money I had saved was burning a hole in my pocket, and I decided to spend it on a few adorable fruit and veggie themed items! 

 My order arrived in TOM's signature gigantic box

 such plastic wrap. Everything I ordered was packed safely, and as always, came with a free file folder and sticker!

 

 I already have the folder from a previous order, but the sticker is new!

Fresh Strawberry Plush ($14.99)

 The first item I bought was this fresh strawberry plush! I like how simple this plushy is, and how soft! I also adore the shiny seeds *0* 

(I love how the only word in English on the tag is "BIG") I'm guessing that's because this strawberry plus is, in fact, very big. I had a lot of trouble deciding whether I wanted to get the pink one or the red one, but I'm glad I chose red!

Strawberry Oden coin bank ($1.99)

The next item I bought was this Strawberry Oden coin bank! I admit, I don't know what Strawberry Oden is, but it was very cute and on a big sale. I'm really in love with the fact that it looks exactly like a soda can

How it works: drop the coins in the top slot, and simply pull the top off to retrieve the money! 

Too cute

Elite Banana pencil pouch ($9.99)

 What is this majestic creature wrapped up in sheer tissue paper? It's none other than...

MR BANAO! Aka, the Elite Banana. This banana enjoys the finer things in life, such as roses, wine, and neckties. This pouch actually has a peel-able peel, with different faces on the peel and inside:

marvelous.

 I've had a difficult time in the past finding Mr Banao merchandise for sale on English sites, so I was very pleased that TOM had this!

 (PS: Mr Banao is the banana version of Aleister Chamber)

Eggplant USB Hub ($7.59)

 The last item I received was this Freshly Harvested eggplant USB hub!

Not only is this eggplant USB hub pestecide-free, it has four USB ports! I think this device is both very clever and very cute!

... although it seems that I won't be getting it back for a while xD

As always, I was extremely happy and impressed with the quality and unique-ness of everything I received from Tokyo Otaku Mode! I can't decide which item I liked the most, but it's between the eggplant USB hub and the Mr Banao pouch. I also loved how realistic the coin bank was to looking like a legit soda can, and how giant and adorable the strawberry plush was! I am 100% happy with my purchase and everything I received, and can't wait till I buy from Otaku Mode again!

All of the items are sold on Tokyo Otaku Mode, plus, you can sign up here to get $10 off your purchase! Hurry, because it's only for a limited time!

Thank you everyone for reading~!

 

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.
