Re-ment Nov/Dec Preview

Here's a preview of the 5 Re-ment sets that will be coming out in November or December. The Disney ice cream cones are keychains that are also pens. The cats are keychains. Re-ment is doing another zipper pouch series with the Toy Story characters (can't wait till they do a Hello Kitty or Rilakkuma zipper pouch series)! The Hello Kitty pieces are all magnets (I like the sewing machine)! For the Rilakkuma set, those are regular miniature food items. I 'm definitely going to get the Hello Kitty magnets and 3-4 complete sets of the Rilakkuma bakery!

What would you like for a Sunday afternoon snack?

I would definitely go for the cakes but of course these are made of plastic so it would only be good for dolls! These pieces are of better quality because they were the older sets released at least 3 years ago. I need to organize my collection again so I'm going through sets that are still in their original boxes and pouches. These are usually the duplicates or triplicates I've been holding on to for a while and I've been very indecisive to whether I should keep or sell them. The miniatures from the 2 pictures are part of the triplicates I've decided to keep. If time permits, I'm going to stop by Ichiban Kan and Beverly's to purchase more plastic containers to store my minis so I can get rid of the original packaging. They do take up a lot of space!

Re-ment x Disney Halloween Cookie Keychains

I'm not a Disney fan so I wasn't planning to buy this set. But since they're a Halloween theme, I thought it might be cute to give these to my neighbors' kids on Halloween. So before giving these to them, of course I want to snap some pics to share. The material this time is different from previous Re-ment cookie series. The older sets were rigid but these are flexible. They're also much smaller than previous sets. I think Marie is the cutest among the group. Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse don't look like themselves and I was wondering what Disney characters they were until I read the paper insert that was included.

Re-ment x Sanrio Candy & Snack Keychains

Just received my set of keychains. They're mostly candy charms with either Hello Kitty, My Melody, Little Twin Stars or Patty & James on the packages. What I didn't like about some of the charms is that the material is the same cellophane wrapper as real life candy wrappers. As you know, cellophane wrappers are smooth and glossy when new but once you fold or crumble it, the wrapper gets dull and wrinkly. So as keychains, I don't think the charms with the cellophane wrappers will not be able to withstand gentle use. I would rather hang them on my purse so my keys won't rip the delicate wrappers. The other candy packages are vinyl pouches so they will be slightly more durable than the cellophane wrappers.

Mimo miniature coconut tarts + the real coconut tart comparison. I went to the Chinese bakery to buy coconut cream buns so I can take a miniature-vs-life-size picture but they didn't have them. So I ended up buying the coconut tarts instead. 

I finally accumulated enough miniature cookie jars and cookies to capture this set. The cookies w/ the rainbow candies were from Re-ment's American Kitchen. Everything else were from the Bread & Butter series. I like these jars because the material is crystal clear, thin and look like glass. With these jars, I need to store them right after I'm done using them. I had 2 cookie jars from the Re-ment Mini Sweets set and after a few months of displaying them in a dust-free display case, the 2 jars turned from crystal clear to milky white. So I ended up throwing them out and hunted for another set online.
