Halloween Extravaganza...Part 3!

Welcome back, everyone!

Last, but not least, is a review of the October Japan Crate that I picked up, which (unsurprisingly) is Halloween-themed. The regular Japan Crate differs from the DokiDoki crate in that you can pick from three "levels." There's the Mini (which gets you 5 items for $12), the Original (which gets you 5 items for $25), and the Premium (which gets you 15 items for $30, and includes a drink). Shipping is free. I managed to get a Groupon to try the Premium crate for only $20.

Halloween Extraganza...Part 2!

Welcome back, everyone! Hope your day is going well! Next up is our second review of the day, which is...another Good Smile Nendoroid set! They often sell "sets" for different occasions or concepts, and they basically consist of a body (no head, sorry), accessories, and stand. This year, they have released a "Halloween set" with a male and female variant. The male variant is a vampire, and the female variant is a witch. ...Or a devil. I think they couldn't decide.

I actually wasn't able to pick these up at Hobby Link Japan, and picked them up from CD Japan, of all places. After currency conversion, I paid about $20 per. This actually allows us to do Nendoroid Math: If an average Nendoroid sells for $35-40, we can therefore deduce that approximately 50% of a Nendoroid's value is placed in its head.

Halloween Extravaganza!

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Today, I've decided to trick you...by giving you not, one, not two, but three treats! Three reviews, all day long! I've decided to take the day off--work has been so stressful lately--to give myself a breather, and relax by watching movies and eating some seasonal goodies! So while I've got some pumpkin cupcakes in the oven, I'll whip out this first mini review in no time!

September Doki Doki Crate

Hey, everyone! It's...uh...been a while, huh? 

Well, my mother had surgery two months ago, and I've been spending almost all my time with her, helping her recover. So I've built up quite a backlog of posts, although it was completely unintentional. Today, I'm bringing you the first post in my queue, my review of the September Doki Doki Crate.

To recap: Japan Crate is a company that offers a subscription-based "surprise box" service. Like the old fruit-of-the-month club and stuff. They have several different varieties: Umai, Kira Kira, the "regular" Japan Crate, and Doki Doki. The latter is filled with various collectible and home goods. You can order the "regular" crate (filled with snacks) in different tiers, but the Doki Doki crate is one price only: $30 per month. I fully admit that I like novelty, but it seems slightly steep a monthly price to me. Fortunately, it seems that when the company doesn't have enough boxes sold per month, they offer a $10 discount on them. So if that happens, I'll probably pick them up--assuming I haven't bankrupted myself on other stuff. Check out my review after the jump!
