♡ RILAKKUMA SHOPS IN HONG KONG ♡

When I was in Hong Kong, I wanted to make sure I made time for some Rilakkuma shopping! It's really great because the shops are stocked with both new releases and tons of goods/plush from old series!

Rilakkuma jewelry on sale at Lukfook! The big gold kuma in right back was $600 USD !

If you are planning some Rilakkuma shopping in Hong Kong, see my vlog and it may be easier for you to recognize the places on your trip!

♡ RILAKKUMA SHOPS IN HONG KONG: (In order of the vlog) ♡

1. 鬆弛熊之家 J-Market (a smaller J-Market store), Causeway Bay

記利佐冶街2-10號銅鑼灣地帶1樓144舖 (Store 144), Hong Kong

The shop outside has windows with tons of goods layered on top of each other! I stared at the windows for ages!

This is the first one I went to because it was near my hotel. It was hard to find! It is in a mall like building and you just have to keep rounding corners until you find their shop number. Even though it's first floor, I do think there is an escalator when you first enter. It's a tiny tiny shop, but it is packed with plush and goods. It may be helpful to see their Instagram or Facebook page first, and then you can go in telling them what you want to buy. They do have a second, bigger shop (below) so that is another option. When I was there, I was afraid I was annoying the salesperson, I'm not sure why. They do take American Express we noticed. (I took video of the outside)

2. 鬆弛熊之家 J-Market (a bigger J-Market store), Mong Kok 

inside Sino Center (anime/Japanese hobby mall)

香港旺角彌敦道582-592號信和中心11樓1105 (11th floor, Room 1105) 

My super purchase from J-Market!

Huge store! They are the bigger sister store of the one above. If you are also interested in Japanese games or anime you really should come here because the mall it is in also has tons of other related shops. The saleslady was really nice to me! If you ask about a particular series they are quite helpful. She even gave me a free gift! I think I spend a couple hundred there, haha. (There were signs against taking photos so I could not get footage inside the shop, but I have video of the mall.)

They gave me this!! I was so touched!

3. 旺角CHIC之堡店 Mong Kok 

旺角彌敦道608號W PLAZA 3樓328號鋪

Shop 328 3rd Floor President Commercial Centre, No.608 Nathan Road, Mong Kok, Kowloon

Burger kumas from J-Market! No Kiiro though! 

This was a tinier store too, but they also do have additional locations. When I went there, the girl was out, so I had to wait outside for a bit with another shopper. It seems they also do preorders because many were coming in to pick up orders. With all of these shops, it's important to check their hours because as a friend told me, many do not open until later in the day, but are open late at night. 

These are the three I made time for! There are others, too. Be sure to see my video to see more video of the shops and what I bought. Special thanks to my friend the Nancinator who gave me tons of helpful tips about these shops on my trip!

I have a question for you all. Have you bought from any of these (or other) Hong Kong sellers? I have heard that some claim to ship internationally but never follow up with order requests.

Make sure you are subscribed to my channel so you don't miss any of my Hong Kong shopping adventures, Pom Pom Purin Cafe vlog, and my Rilakkuma videos!

Hope you guys are all doing well! Keep in touch--I'm always on Instagram, Snapchat (PescaMaryan), and my Facebook page to chat. 

Koguma-chan Limited Edition Plush [New Rilakkuma Character Series]

Koguma-chan is the new Rilakkuma character being released in March. For more info about Koguma's story, see my previous post, or links at the bottom of this post. (Shop here for Koguma goods)

Let's take a look at the three new limited edition plushies of Koguma!

Rilakkuma and Koguma (photo from San-X's news release)

 This first one features Rilakkuma fishing with Koguma at his side. It even has a little pond and fish at the end of the pole! This is quite unique because Rilakkuma plush don't normally have a base like this.

Koguma and Kori (photo from San-X's news release)

I love this one so much..Koguma peeking out of the tree! It's as if they are playing hide-and-seek. I think I just have to buy this one!

Koguma and Kiiro (photo from San-X's news release)

And finally, a really cute one with Koguma and Kiiro riding on top. It's the cheapest of the series (1700 yen). I love it!

So I preordered the main series already...but it looks like I may need to buy some more. I just love it so much. How about you guys?

I have seen these on TaoBao, and now they are for preorder on MiraPlush! Have you seen them for sale anywhere else? I'll update here if I find a reliable website.

Here is a link to San-X's news release of the three extra Koguma-chan series plush! (Shop here for Koguma goods)

Koguma Stationery Goods & Plush! (New Rilakkuma Character) March 2016

Yay! San-X finally released the goods that will be released for Koguma-chan! The items in this series should be in stores in Japan on March 7, 2016. If you are overseas, you can preorder from MiraPlush or a variety of sellers on TaoBao. I'll be watching to see where we can buy some of the other goods too! (Update: there are a variety of goods available on Otaku Mode: here)

If you'd like more information about the release, visit my previous post, translated story of Koguma-chan and my youtube video.

So let's take a look at all the new items!

First are some really adorable notebooks, lettersets and a clear folder. Hopefully, we'll be seeing some of this stationery at my favorite place to buy--Kawaii Shop Japan. Though a bit pricier, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of these items at Kawaii Gifts, which is based in Pittsburgh.

So happy to see pouches and bags for this series. I'm not sure I love the big bag very much, but I definitely like the smaller too. The little one has English that says "Did you become friends in the honey forest?" and Koguma and Korilakkuma say "Gaoo.." Which is kind of like a cute growl bear sound. They are so cute!

And here are the main plush! I have preordered THE WHOLE SET! This means I reeeally like them. This may be one of my new favorite series. I just feel so attached to the new Koguma.

San-X also has three more plush items: a keychain Koguma, a regular (s size) Koguma plush, and a larger Koguma-chan. I decided on the keychain and the S size plush. I think the s size will fit in better with the above main series. And check out the details! The little bear pads on his feet and honey stuck on his rear! Adorable!! What will you be buying??

☆*:.｡.Rilakkuma Yamanote Line Collection & Haul from Japan!.｡.:*☆

So adorable! Go here for all the details from San-X (Photo by San-X). 

Unfortunately, when I was in Japan, I did not get to ride on the Rilakkuma decorated Yamanote Line. I'm not sure if it was over or if I just didn't happen to see it. But, I was really happy to enjoy the cute Yamanote displays in the Rilakkuma stores!

Luckily, they also had some good collectibles at the stores too. I was so tempted to get the bigger versions.. and as I'm looking at my photos of my collection..I'm tempted to search for the bigger ones~~!

It's an adorable series, I just wish they had incorporated Korilakkuma. There are two versions of Rilakkuma a passenger and a train driver and a Kiiroitori plush. I got the conductor version.

I had trouble finding a page with ALL of the Yamanote Goods in one spot, but here are the links you need to check out for all the events and info: San-X Blog, & Yamanote Info Page. Here are some links on where you can buy: Miraplush, ebay and Amazon. I have yet to see any fake versions for this plush, just be sure you are clear on what size you are buying. If you ever need to ask me a question about an authentic one, please let me know.

As you can see in my video, I set up my collection in my Ikea cubby and hang the folder in the back so its like a little train scene! Kumas are hard to get to stand up so I just have a little plastic organizer to arrange them. I use a Yamanote Line souvenir towel to decorate too ^.^. I have the back lit with some Christmas lights and it looks really pretty in the evening.

You can see the video for more about my haul and this cute series!
