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. 

Thank you for reading~!

 

Gudetama squishies! from Silly Squishies store Review

Hello everybooty! Today I'm going to share with you two Gudetama squishies I bought from Silly Squishies~! This is my first ever squishy purchase so i'm very excited!(＾▽＾)

Silly Squishies is a kawaii shop that specializes in selling squishies, including rare and hard to find ones from brands like I-Bloom and Aoyama. The two squishies that I bought were part of the Gudetama Sweets series:

 The entire set included four squishies: pancake gudetama, tofu gudetama, crepe gudetama, and cheesecake gudetama. I decided to buy the tofu and the cheesecake ones first, but I plan on grabbing the other two very soon!

The squishies came in a cute pink ans blue package with Silly Squishies's print on it! I thought it was really cool that they have their own package design >u> Also the shipping was super fast, It only took like two days to get here!

ta daaaaaa~! Both squishies are official, and came in their original plastic wrapping and tags. (also omg, they even sent me candy)

(they were super good, especially the red ones :D THANK YOU)

 

-Squishies inside the wrapper-

 -squishies out of the wrapper- (yes, the urge to open them was too strong. I regret nothing)

These squishies are definitely in the top 10 cutest squishies I have seen so far, just look at their little faces(´∀｀)♡

here are the Sanrio stamps

Now that I'm looking more carefully, I see that these were originally released in 2013. I didn't even know Gudetama has been around that long >3> WHERE HAVE I BEEN

even the little wrapper is adorable! too cute to remove ;w;

*squish*

*squish*

I would say these squishies are decently squishy (compared to any that I've seen before). They aren't slow rising but they squish nicely...if that makes sense. The paint stays wrinkled for a bit even after the squishy has poofed back up, but after a minute or so it seems to smooth out. 

 Here they are being squished: (crinkle warning for the last two)

they're just...so fun to squish (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ

☆~Ratings~☆ 

quality:♥♥♥♥♥  
Both squishies were authentic Sanrio squishies and very high quality

shipping:♥♥♥♥♥ 
 shipping was VERY fast (these arrived in less than two days omg) and only cost $3.99 to ship!

cost: ♥♥♥♥♥
Each squishy was $9.99, which is a really good price for these, considering I have never seen them sold for this low. Plus tax ($1.80) and shipping, the order total came to $25.77. Nice!

Overall:♥♥♥♥♥

Overall I was very happy with these squishies and I am soooo glad that I decided to get them!The cost was reasonable, especially for official squishies, and shipping was cheap and one of the fastest I've ever seen. I will definitely be going back to order the other two Gudetamas in the set!

Don't forget to check out Silly Squishies and their adorable squishies! You can order the tofu and cheesecake Gudetamas here

☆ 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.
