kawai

  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.

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.

  From top to bottom: French Princess, English Queen, Greek Goddess, Arabian Dancer and the Chinese Empress. The eggs had quite some weight so they didn't feel like cheap plastic toys but the egg stands were bad. The egg stands were flimsy plastic that didn't hold the eggs securely and my eggs would tilt whenever there were just a slight movement.
