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.

Japanese Oreo products + Rilakkuma Butter Sticks + Scrapbook paper

Unlike Glico, Kabaya frequently acquires licensing for popular characters. I've seen Hello Kitty & Thomas the Train. Seems like Rilakkuma is currently the most popular from San-x. Re-ment already has plans for releasing 2 Rilakkuma sets but not the other San-x characters.

Even the pouch is covered with Rilakkuma! The sticks are butter flavored and they taste pretty much the same as Glico's Pretz.

Japanese Oreo candy bars! I thought I give these a try because the Japanese Kit Kats were so good. The one on the top is matcha green tea and the bottom one is milk tea. I thought the center was chocolate w/ Oreo bits but whole thing seemed to be a cookie covered in a layer of chocolate. Even my brother thought so too so his first reaction was, "it's so chalky!"

Matcha Green Tea. I love this one and I'm definitely going to stock up on these next time!

Milk Tea. I didn't really like this one because the milk tea seemed to be the Earl Grey type of milk tea so it tasted too perfumey.

I did go to Beverly's to get some storage boxes and when I walked through the scrapbook paper aisle, this design immediately caught my eye. I instantly thought that it will be pretty as dollhouse wall paper for a tea house setting.

Oct Re-ment releases

This Hello Kitty set, along with the Hello Kitty Bakery & Showcase set (See post) will be released in Oct!! My wallet won't be happy but it's been quite a while since I bought multiple series within the same month. There is usually 1 set from the series that I don't like but I like every design here. These are suppose to be the squeezable just like the Re-ment Disney character bun key chains.

Glad that that Re-ment teamed up with San-x. I wonder if the Disney License is over. I hope Re-ment will do a Afro Ken & Nyanko food or furniture series. No phone straps or key chains please because there are already tons of those from San-x. If you look closely at the pieces, they're really just repeats of other series but with the Rilakkuma images. My least favorite from this collection would be #3, the rice omelet set because there are only a few pieces in there. In addition, I'm not a rice omelet fan and I already have tons of Re-ment rice omelets already. One from the Hello Kitty food series, Mickey's 50's Cafe, Mom's Happy Kitchen and I'm sure from many other series! 

 I just discovered this on Re-ment's website. It's scheduled to be released on 10/4 and it's just a Halloween version of the Big Sweets sets. The original Big Sweets were way better. My friend bought the full set of the original Big Sweets and they pretty very realistic and well made. Judging by the color of the Halloween Big Sweets, I think they will be very cheap looking. In the Minnie Mouse macaron, I think it would have been better if the macaron was orange w/ white butter cream.

Re-ment also changed their main page. The bad thing is I cannot use my iPad to get into the site because it requires Flash! 

Fake Food Accessories

Looks yummy?! I'm glad I was able to order these. Right after I paid, the Hello Kitty donuts were already sold out! The donuts are life-sized and even bigger than Krispy Kreme donuts! The flan quality of the flan is very realistic and all three are squeezable charms. If you're thinking that the 4 cake necklaces look familiar, you're right!! The cakes are from Re-ment's Cake Shop collection. The size of Re-ment have gotten larger so these cakes are a good size to turn into pendants. The slice of chocolate cake is my favorite!
