Review: San-X Tsum Tsum's!

Hi Everyone! I guess something that I didn't mention in my interest is that I am very into kawaii things. If you don't know what Kawaii is, it means cute in Japanese (think Hello Kitty or Rilakkuma *that brown bear that has no expression but is ultra adorable* or Just look below).

Moving on... I thought I would throw up a review of a set of San-X handle squishies (who are we kidding these are basically Tsum Tsum's!). If you don't know what Tsum Tsum's are a quick google search could clarify that a bit better than I can explain, but they are basically these ultra adorable plushies made by Disney that you can stack (Tsum Tsum=Stack Stack in Japanese).

I bought these off of ebay from a very sweet seller known as verygoods-jp (Link: http://www.ebay.com/usr/verygoods-jp?_trksid=p2047675.l2559) . She/he is an amazing seller (she bundled up the set for me!) she also throws in stickers or cute packets of tissues!

Review of full set:

Overall I give this set a 8/10.

What I love the most about this set is the attention to detail! You can see below that they really put detail into each plushie. For example the bear/tiger Rilakkuma's have little zippers to show that Rilakkuma is just dressed up! (Don't worry he is still a bear!)

The faces on these are super cute too! The eyes are almost always perfectly symmetrical (from what I can tell I haven't taken out a ruler or anything crazy like that).

I like that because this is the second set of these (oops sorry I didn't mention that, if you would like to see the first set just let me know!) they added variations of the normal characters (like tiger Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma). I also like the introduction of new characters like Tsuginohikerori (or just Kerori AKA the cute frog!) I hope that the third set continues the trend of adding variations of old characters while introducing new ones.

They are ultra soft! Seriously they feel like little mini bundles of blanket. I also like the fact that their tags are really cute, BUT these tags are like stickers... So they are a little flimsy. I like to keep these in pristine collection but one of my tags on my first set ripped off (insert me crying here :().

Another con against these (and the main reason I took two points away) is that some of the ears are well plain weird looking. Some are a bit bigger than others (especially on the poor Korilakkuma bunny version). Also because they are bears, normally they round out the ears (i.e. Rilakkuma Panda Series with round ears) but here they didn't do that... The ears just look so off and in a lot of cases makes it hard to stack these!!

These make a great gift to Kawaii lovers out there! I suggest looking for these on ebay, and let me know if you want me to point you in the direction of any other cute gifts!

Also here is a list of characters including in this series: Kireizukin Seikatu, Rilakkuma Tiger/Cat, Rilakkuma Panda with jacked up ears, Korilakkuma Rabbit with equally jacked up ears, Sentimental Circus Shappo, Tomorrow Frog Kerori, Korilakkuma Cat, Nagomimakuri, and Kamonohashikamo (in the order pictures now don't ask me to pronnounce some of these *especially the latter half*)
