It's July!!!!

Hope everyone is having a great start to this new month...
 Enjoying the Summer Sunshine or Tropical Rain!!!

Of course there are lots of releases here and there - Toy manufacturers capitalizing one Summer tie ins - movies, comics, conventions, TV Shows, etc. Here's hoping you get the ones you are wishing for...

================

Everybody's fave - mine and Juju 

As well - the Minions are back!!!  This time with their own movie...  The Good News is that, McDonalds has tie in Premium toys once more!!!  10 of them to be exact.

The sad news is that they only release two each week...  Never a good thing for me, as for sure I will end up missing some due to my traveling schedules. I envy those in the Philippines as they were able to get all right away, it seems.

The first two that came out this week - the one on the left talks, while the right one has movable eyes!!!  Needless to say, they are already Sold Out!!! Wish us luck for the next ones...  

Earth Hour 2015

My Crew took part in Earth Hour 2015 last nite..  

They gathered around for the hour - keeping warm by the light of a single candle...

How Did You Celebrate Yours???

MARCHing On!!!

Time is Flying by Fast once more... 

 It's already March!!!   

The Greening of March!!!

Yes, for this month, let's show them Greens!!!

 Day 11 - 31 Days of Halloween

A trio of #HelloKitty  #McDonalds Premiums.

====================

The two above: Singing Bones and the Frog Prince are from this year's Fairy Tales Series. 

These two are the only two I kept from the 6 issued in Taiwan.

The two I kept rom 2013's Circus of Life Collection. 

Black & White

...with a touch of Red!  That is our theme for the 9th entry in our "31 Days of Halloween" project.

Operetta is the one that started me on collecting MonsterHighDolls, really... 

Thought I would just get all of her issued but am now at a bit shy of 50...  Oh My Horrors!!!

Operetta  is joined bya 100%  Bearbrick Jack from Medicom Toy,  Hello Kitty PEZ dispenser,

and Bambu - a  tokidoki Unicorno from Series 2.

=================================

Today's entry is brought to you by Juju, who personally picked this selection to match her B&W OOTD!!!

Winter Hello Kittys X Mcdonalds

Wow can't believe the program has come and gone and I did not even get to post these Hello Kitty cuties, in Winter Pastel colors and settings, for McDonald's over the Holidays. And for some added fun, each and everyone has a mechanical function - with the moving sleigh and hula hoop ones being faves of Juju and I!

                                          

For 4 weeks, 2 each week, Kids and adults alike gobbled up so much Happy Meals and in my case Quarter Pounder with Cheese to get them...  The extra pounds gained were worth it as each one is pretty cute.  Believe me,  that's a lot coming from someone who does not like Pink too much.  LOL!

Hello Kitty X Carrefour

The French Supermarket in Taiwan has collaborated with Hello Kitty for some truly super cute Hello Kitty & Friends Premium Pieces...  Each one is as cute as the next..  They can all be used as a container of some sort...  

The way it goes is that, one needs to purchase MT$500 (about US$17.00) worth of goods to get a sticker...  8 Stickers = 1 Premium...  So that is a lot of GROCERIES - about US$150.00 worth in order to get one....   Another option, for fast collecting you can collect 2 stickers plus NT$69 (a little over US$2) - you can already redeem 1 of the cuties....  The program offering runs till the 30th of July....

 

As an added BONUS:  a Displayer is also offered - makes for a nice display if you are a Hello Kitty fanatic...  Good thing am not... hahahahahahahaha....

So far, I have this Keroppi one - sadly, I do not think I will be able to redeem anymore as I do not frequent Carrefour to begin with...

 

tokidoki Kittys starts now!!!

Yep, Taiwan 7-11's newly announced Premium program starts today...  this time showcasing another cute crossover, Tokidoki X Hello Kitty.... 

A total of 12 different Hello Kitty figures dressed as well known Storybook characters (Snow White, Robin Hood, Peter Pan, Cinderella, The Frog Prince,  Little Red Riding Hood, etc) are sure to delight and thrill young and old alike....  even those of us not so much into Hello Kittys....   or still in DENIAL about it....   :)  A Special cardboard case (for an extra fee) is even offered to showcase them all in!!!

You know who will be sipping lots of JAVA here!!!  LOL!!!

 

===================

Coinciding with the Premium Program, 7-11 is also offering 6 30cm Plush tokidiki X Hello Kittys are for separate purchase:  2 Dressed in Chinese Outfits (just in time for Chinese New Year!), and 4 others in cute modern garbs....  

A Sample 30cm Stuffed Toy already on display in the shop...

=======================

Adding more FUN & EXCITEMENT, 7-11's sister company, COSMED, joined in on the fun by offering their own EXCLUSIVE tokidoki X Hello Kitty Plushies... not as big as the ones 7-11 is offering but still just as BIIIG IN THE CUTE FACTOR!!!  6 designs total are available...

For every NT$200 (a little less than US$7.00) you spend in the shop - you get 1 Sticker...  8 Stickers plus NT$149 (about US$6.00) will get you one of these Cuties....  so it does add up....
