I was so happy when I saw that TOM had this Shikamaru Nendoroid available; and, I was absolutely thrilled when I was able to finally purchase this lovable Ninja Nendo with a helpful coupon. With a bit of a discount, TOM's (already reasonably-priced, relatively speaking) Shikamaru Nara Nendoroid became accessible to me. At that point, I didn't waste a moment ordering this guy! I was honestly a little giddy to receive this in the mail (he arrived safely in the packaging).

The expression of the Nara clan shadow jutsu in 3-dimensional form is well-executed and lends an extra facet of coolness to this Shikamaru. The inclusion of Asuma's lighter is a sweet touch. Shikamaru...Read moreClose

Who knew Bulma could be even more darling than usual? Chibi Bulma in her green snowsuit, from the 2019 Broly movie is a figure with a adorableness-to-price-point ratio that's sky-high. The charm of this little Bulma, bundled up for Antarctic conditions, is instantly endearing.

She comes with 3 guns and her puppy! 4 stars because the Nendo package arrived pretty damaged inside the shipping box. Riza made a good surprise birthday gift, though.

I love this T-shirt. The graphics actually turn out a little nicer-looking than the photos would seem to indicate. I'm a sucker for the parents in Boruto, including the endearingly clumsy Naruto.

Over time, I purchased all 5 character figures featured in the Part 5 Creator x Creator Lupin III collection. Each one stands on a black plastic base shaped like a slice of pie, and all the slices fit together. When all 5 character figures are displayed together, they stand in an artful circle arrangement that allows all to be visible at once without taking up much space, which is very clever.
I like this cartoonish figure of Inspector Zenigata; his Sherlockian Calabash pipe makes him look so serious but so silly!

I purchased this soft, stretchy, headband in Black to help hold my hair away from my face while I put on makeup, and it works perfectly without gradually becoming uncomfortable to wear on my head, as some headbands do.
I also found that the headband is great for wearing if, after showering, I gently towel-dry my hair, as it keeps damp hair off my face and neck. The soft, plush, fabric material is gentle enough to use on my fine hair, without damaging the strands, even when my hair is damp (which is when the hair cuticle is most vulnerable to splitting or breakage).

I chose to purchase Candy-chan because of the plushie's unusual coloration. I adore the multiple pastel colors, which are expertly coordinated. The effect is beautiful, and Candy-chan is SUPER adorable. I also chose Candy-chan because Candy-chan is a distinct Loppy, unique to the, "Pastel," Loppy collection; and as such, Candy-chan has expanded my own AMUSE® Pote usa Loppy collection.

I got this for a great deal at the end of the year. This Shiloppy is actually a little bigger than other, "Big," Amuse Loppy bunnies I have (a Baby Chappy; a Colorful Sorapyon; a Ribbon Milk Tea-Chan; and a Christmas Shiloppy). This Shiloppy is super adorable, holding a little radish with both hankies. The radish is held just like Shiloppy is nom-nom nomming!

Even with the measurements given for this Fluffies Plush bunny keychain, I was a bit surprised by how small this little rabbit is.
I was also surprised by how cuddly soft the bunny is. The fabric material used is high quality, as is the filling, and adorably detailed construction.

I got the little greenish/teal/mint-coloured Triceratops. He's a wee baby Dino, with a fuzzy white belly, and very cute.

The little chick peeking out of the Latte Kitten cup is just about as cute as the Latte Kitten kitty I have.
FYI, they are just a bit heavy & bulky as kekeychains or for attaching to zippers, but the colors are great and they're cute hanging on bag handles.

This set of "Pon Pon Mini Plushies," actually pleasantly surprised me. I will admit, I was curious about these tiny pom-pom animals; so when they were deeply discounted for a brief TOM sale, I went for them.
They are VERY cute.
Anyone who has purchased a Puchimaru Series mini-strap plushie, and been a bit impressed by the amount of detail put in - and how the details make the animals so darn cute - would understand the sort of attention to little details to which I refer. The Piyotama Friends pom-pom animals, are similar to the Puchimaru Series animals in that they are:
1) More detailed than expected
2) Cuter when seen in person
3) More sturdily constructed than...Read moreClose

I got the pink winking kitty cat, and I love it. The square shape really does make it more useful for holding things.

I like that the size is a "2-Pack," as it contains a generous number of Pocky cookies, while 1 pack alone would seem like too few Pocky stix.

I love tea, deep within my heart. I'm also extraordinarily picky, re: composition, consistency, scent, color(s), freshness, grain size, bud maturity, completeness, purity, dust level, specific gravity, packing method, origin source, AND specific geographical distribution route(s), based on carrier, of the tea I consume.
I can actually taste if a tea was grown at an optimal altitude, or too close to sea level.

That said, trust that these "Matcha Pocky," were subjected to rigorous evaluation, as they are a ...Read moreClose
