Re-Ment, for the (Miniature) Food Obsessed

September 2nd, 2009

Hello again,

BlazBlue may always be on my mind, but I’m going to pry myself from it’s ridiculous-ice-car-spamming ways for a moment.

I am a total nerd for random Japanese stuff, so at some point I was doomed to get into miniatures. Currently, that means re-ment. For anyone not familiar with re-ment, they are collectible blind-box 1/6 scale miniatures with extreme attention to detail. Most of them are either food or food related, and being Chinese and Italian, I find that pretty hard to resist (yes, some stereotypes are true). I like cakes, so I’ve gotten a bit obsessed with the Elegant Sweets set, which is made up of fantastic looking desserts (mostly cakes!)

This is set #1. Everything is always carefully wrapped...

Look at all those cute little pieces! That's right, I think food is cute.

I’m also pretty obsessed with Kuroshitsuji right now – including the dolls from Jun Planning. I only have Ciel. I love that he is such an irritable and depressing shota character. Good thing he is always the one having tea and cakes!

Re-ment photographs perfectly with 1/6 scale dolls, so this is becoming the slippery slope of one obsession feeding another (no pun intended!) The level of detail on this doll is incredible, from the articulation points to the face-up, and the elegant outfit is beautifully constructed. He even came with an eye patch and a walking stick! And the contract seal on his right eye is enough to please any OCD anime fangirl (*cough*ahem…) Being able to shift the eyes around with a switch is another creepy perk. Ciel is my first Jun Planning doll, and I couldn’t be happier with him. Expensive, but worth it. The gigantic heads…so cuuute……

So basically he just needs a friend (or a butler…:3 ), and until then he’ll be having tea and cakes alone!

That look says ''Maybe you should just get a cat...?''
