Woke up to a wonderful surprise today: new poncho-wearing watermelon punch kumas!
This design was released on May 22, marking the Tokyo Skytree Rilakkuma Store’s 1 year anniversary – happy birthday to them!
Oooh got some Tokyo Skytree bags, too!
Didn’t know how long the store’s full name was! So, happy birthday Tokyo Skytree Town Solamachi Rilakkuma Store – whew! One really cute detail is that the pompom colors on Rilakkuma’s poncho are inverted on Korilakkuma’s!
Speaking of differences: though tag art is more of Ariel’s thing, on these tags, Korilakkuma’s dollop of cream is pink, while Rilakkuma’s is white!
Their ponchos are decorated with a watermelon seed print – with one Rilakkuma shaped seed on the back!
Cute starry watermelon detail! Their ponchos are lined with light blue fabric.
Love the curly vine detail on top! The pompoms are supposed to represent little melon balls haha.
Special pins to commemorate the Skytree Rilakkuma Store’s 1st anniversary!
So lovely! The watermelon punch theme is such a wonderful way to celebrate the summer!

Oh wow such cute details I love the kuma shaped seeds on their clothes! Awesome pins too super lucky :D The look so soft and cuddly!
ehem *they >.<
Ahhh the kuma seeds are so cute! And there’s only 1 of them on each poncho – such an awesome and subtle detail!
Omg that is so cute! So nice that you got the pins as well :)
Yes, I love the pins – I think they’re just so well done! Especially how the left one is like the Tokyo Skytree on top of a cake hahaha.
the details is so superb! :)
Yes! It’s always such a surprise to see the plushies in person because there are so many details you can’t see from the little event promo pics alone!
I love the Sky Tree bags XD
The pins are awesome as well! I saw this woman who had a beautiful Sky Tree pin when I was in Japan last year, I wanted to take it off her bag XD
The pins are so awesome – I just don’t know where to put them right now! Esp since I don’t use a purse. Maybe if my sister wins that Rilakkuma bag from Lawson, we can put pins all over it hahaha
Wow all the details are so amazing! Can’t wait to get my hands on them ^_^ craving watermelon after seeing these plushies hehe
Yeah, the watermelon theme is so cute and appropriate for the summer! Makes so much sense too since it’s peak watermelon season haha – I’ve started seeing them take over my local grocery!
They are look so adorable! I love them so much <3<3<3<3<3
I love them too!! I’m so glad I ordered them :) :) :)
