Rilakkuma Meal miniatures Re-ment x San-x

 

A pretty cute set in general even though the concept is not unique (Re-ment has already came out with many pancakes, rice omelettes, flan and curry rice). One thing I've noticed about recent Re-ments is that they've been using stickers on the plates, thermos, lunch container & cups instead of printing the images directly onto the items. The edges of the stickers will eventually lose its tackiness and start coming off.

Re-ment X Sanrio Snack Mascot Keychains

This is one the Re-ment series that's worth buying the whole set because everything is so kawaii!! Even though these are sold as blind bags, they're are packaged in a pouch without any cardboard wrapper so it's pretty easy to determine each style by gently squeezing each pouch. So great for those who don't plan on buying the whole set but just don't squeeze so hard that the pouches are all crumbled or else it's difficult for the store to sell them. My favorites are the Chinese steamed pork bun and the ice cream cone. These keychains are the spongy squeezable so I don't really plan on using them as keychains because my keys might damage them. Plus, I don't want to get them dirty so most likely I'll hang one on my purse once in a while.

Hello Kitty VS Traditional Hina Ningyo dolls from Re-ment

Set to be released this coming January. I'm interested in the Hello Kitty one because Sanrio had a multi-tiered set w/ all the Sanrio characters on each level but it was around $300. I'm assuming these sets will be much more affordable.

Another set from Toy Story Birthday Party series

I wanted to try my luck to get another Toy Story birthday cake but I ended up with this set. It's actually not bad at all because the 2 snack wraps and the balloons are nicely detailed.

Kingdom Cake Cupcakes + Miniature Toy Story Birthday cake

Yeah!! I finally received my birthday cake set from the Re-ment Toy Story Happy Birthday Party series. The birthday cake was the only set that I wanted. The other sets had more non-food miniatures and I'm not really in to that. I think Re-ment did a wonderful job with the cake. Look at the textures of the icing and cake! It's o realistic. All the cake decorations are movable so you can take decorations from other sets to mix and match.

I also went to Kingdom Cake today to get some cupcakes. Kingdom Cake is just a take-out window so all the cupcakes are pre-packed in fours, eights or twelves and flavors of the day are limited unless you pre-order in advance. These are miniature cupcakes but slightly larger than Mission Minis. They're $2 per cupcake so it's a little pricey but all the cupcakes are really moist. The blueberry lemon and lemon cupcakes are really good. They're sweet and extremely tart at the same time! I somehow didn't like the red velvet as much because the flavor was somewhat subtle and just tasted more like a sweet cupcake with no specific flavor. I was told that their Thai Iced Tea cupcakes were really good but I have to arrange a day to go there because their hours conflict with my schedule.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Today is the Mid-autumn festival so the moon is suppose to be the fullest & brightest tonight. Peko's eyeing the moon cake but to bad she doesn't realize it's only a cell phone charm! Happy Mid-Autumn festival!

Re-ment VS Mimo pieces

Gathered a few pieces to compare. All the ones on the left are Re-ment and all the ones of the right are Mimo.

Miniature Breakfast + Figurine display case

Got this from the dollar store. Each clear case can be stacked together and larger pieces of miniature can fill up the case nicely (like the rice cooker on the top). They're acrylic so they're cheap looking but I'm trying to see if I can cover the backs, sides and the bottoms with pretty scrapbook paper to make it look  presentable. Great way for  temporarily displaying "favorite items" of the week!

This is from the Re-ment Teddy Bear Helps Out series. I don't have every set, just the ones with food. I gave away all the teddy bears that came with this set.

Besides a Hello Kitty pancake, I know there's a Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse pancake (a keychain version).

I wonder if this is really possible in reality. That's 8 thick pancakes there!

Protein packed breakfast on the right VS a plate of carb-filled sugary breakfast on the left.

Look at the texture of the nuts!
