Headcount

The new year is coming soon and I was busy with tidying up my room starting last weekend. Of course, since I tidying up my room, might as well do a headcount of the number of dolls I have so far:-

1) 24 x momoko dolls!!! 

With the number of new releases from PetWorks, I think my army of momoko dolls has increased the most compare to other dolls. I am now having a tought time selecting who to sell off.

2) 2 x Neo Blythes

A small sensible size considering that I sold most of my collection.

3) 2 x Petite Blythe 

If not for the price hike in the recent new releases, I think I may end up getting a few more to my collection. 

The retail price of a CWC exclusive Petite Blythe used to be around 3,675yen (like the "Secret Midnight Tea Party" and "Mademoiselle Chocolat de Q-pot."), now it is going to retail around  5,250 yen (recent release of "red apple" and "baby buttercup" are retailing at 5,250 yen). With a 42% price hike, I guessing that the collection is just going to be stay at 2.

4) 1 x Little Dal

Bought this little Dal few years back from a Hong Kong seller on ebay. I always find Dal interesting with its angry and piss off expression, so I bought one to add to my doll collection.

Merry Christmas and a happy holiday ,Everyone

2011 Happy Box from Petworks

==Yes, finally PetWorks is releasing Happy Box again.  I started collecting Momoko dolls in year 2008 and PetWorks has not released a Happy Box since. This is going to be my first time and of course, I hope to be able to purchase at least one Happy Box.  In case you do not know what is a Happy Box, it is actually a 福袋concept in Japan where company sells a combination of their products in a package and the contents of each package is unknown.

For this year Happy Box, it will consist of 10 items: - 2 x momoko doll (1 “CCS-momoko for HAPPY BOX” & 1 momoko ) - 1x Mame-momoko - some outfits and pairs of shoes
Unlike the past years where the Momoko dolls in the happy box is randomly packed and the buyer is not made aware of the doll that he/she purchased, this year the collectors have a choice to choose the CCS-Momoko that they want in their happy box. 

The CCS-Momoko that we can choose from are: 

I am still deciding on which one to buy. Considering that the old release of momoko dolls are very hard to find and even you find one, it will be at a very expensive price and it will be a good time to get them through the Happy Box now. 
However, I do not have the money to afford to get all the 27 of them... what a headache!!

CWC Exclusive Neo Blythe "Vinter Arden"

I have not look at Blythe official website for the past one month. Went in to take a peek at the latest news and update and of course to also check out the new dolls that are coming out.

Hooray, they releasing another Middie soon, but  yet again, another CWC exclusive  doll in collaboration with a Japanese Fashion brand - MILK with a price tag of 13,440 yen. Pre-order starting on 15th Dec 2010.

I wonder when will they release a regular Middie that would be more affordable.

They also have new CWC exclusive Neo Blythe - Vinter Arden. Simply love her, hair colour, the green eye shadow and her boots. So tempted to get her. But I promise myself not to buy new dolls due to over-crowding and lack of space for display. Dilema!!!

A regular release Neo Blythe - Prairie Posi. Her hair reminds me of one of the housewive from one of my favorite drama series - Desperate Housewive. 

Mad about Rilakkuma

Saw a lot of rilakkuma things when shopping for chirstmas gifts over the past weeks. He is getting popular here in Singapore. =D

My friend in Taiwan told me that the 7-11 stores in Taiwan is having a promotion where you can get a cute rilakkuma or korilakkuma charm.

Found the 7-11 advertisement on youtube. Almost want to cheong (rush) to Taiwan now and buy them back.  

Heard about someone who travel to Japan and won a Rilakkuma plushie (see picture below) from eating Mister Donuts, yes a lot of donuts   -__-'ll

I also find a site that give free template to make paper 3D Rilakkuma and I am so tempted to try it out during the Dec holiday period. Will update photos of it on my blog with my end products
