Christmas came early this year!
I was so excited to start my 2nd week of medical school with this super-cute Christmas 2011 Net Shop Exclusive!
Merry (early) Christmas!
Their Santa outfits are removable, and exchangeable!
Kiiroitori is the angel on top of the tree hahaha
Probably one of my favorite parts of this set: an indifferent snowperson? Hahahaha
The set also comes with the giant roll cake log pillow with Rilakkuma’s face embroidered on it with strawberries, holly, and star details haha it reminds me of the huge Rilakkuma island that came with the Aloha Rilakkuma series’ Net Shop Exclusive.
Cute tag with the set in illustrated form! Looks like Santa Rilakkuma is a little lazy as expected hahaha
Yay!!! Even though it’s still summer haha I was so excited to get this! I think this is my favorite Christmas Net Shop set, but they are always so nice every year!
Also lmao this set was WAY larger than I expected – I thought that they’d be regular sized collectible plushies like the 22 cm ones, but they’re about the size of my medium Rilakkuma, so a little over a foot tall for the bears. It’s so great that they ended up being so big, but I’ll have to get a side table for them or something hahaha
Thank you so so much to Ariel for helping me obtain this set! Check out her awesome Rilakkuma blog, Rilakkuma Desu, if you haven’t already!
I don’t really know the story behind the super indifferent snowperson but it’s so cute! … and disinterested. I wish it appeared more often. :| :| :|
I know it’s so early to talk about Christmas things, but since my apartment is too small for a proper tree, I’ll probably put this set out instead! And since it’s so cute, I’ll end up being one of those people who puts up Christmas decorations way too early (just this set though)!
Speaking of Net Shop exclusives, this year’s Christmas San-X Net Shop exclusive goes on pre-order this Friday, August 23! Preorder is here!
With a little stage for the band!
The whole band!
And they can all be used as ornaments, too!
Since I just bought another Christmas Net Shop Set, I’m not sure I’ll go for this year’s but we’ll see haha

I hope they bring the snowperson back in subsequent sets! Although if you asked it, it would probably not care :|
:| lol I hope to see it sometime again too!
Ha ha indifferent snow person. Good call on that! Yeah this set is top on my wishlist now its so cute XD. Much bigger but its really cool. Oo a stage now I wonder if the new play set is cooler than I thought it would be, darn I might have to get it now >.<
I sometimes feel I'm that person because I start feeling it should be Christmas in summer but I try to wait until November, I wish they made a Halloween play set.
Yeah, I thought they’d be mini-plushies like last years’, or at least regular/small size, so I was really surprised when I opened the box haha I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.
I would love to see a Halloween playset! I’ve always skipped over the Halloween releases, but I would definitely shell out money for a playset. I also really loved what they did back in 2008 where you could get a witch’s hat or a wreath you could hang up with all of them on it: http://www.san-x.co.jp/relaxuma/campaign/44.html darn that was such a long time ago in Rilakkuma time…
Oh yes I know these, on my wishlist as well. They are so expensive though ha but I feel the same.
Ah their Net Shop page opened today: http://shop.san-x.co.jp/product/detail/RLKK101
They can be used as ornaments too! I’ll have to think hard about this one now hahaha
Oh no its so cute. Yep time to think :/
Congrats on your new set! It looks so adorable! Definitely getting into the Christmas mood now hehe. This was on my wish list when it first came out but I realize they were really big so I gave up on them. And they were super expensive too! But whenever I see pictures of them I wish I had them hehe. They would make a perfect replacement for a Christmas tree!! Maybe even better than a Christmas tree ^_^
Thanks! Haha even though it’s still 80 degrees and summery here, seeing these guys definitely gets me in the holiday mood – and it’s probably the only time I’ll ever have a snowman in Florida hahaha
Yay! I’m happy you got this set! The snow person is AMAZING. It’s even on the tag! I think it would be a great idea to use that as your Christmas tree instead, it’s be super cute and I can already picture all the presents surrounding it *_*
Wow, such early pre-orders! Summer’s not even over and they’re already taking pre-orders for the winter series XD
Ah I know! This happened to me last year too – the pre-order was released and I wasn’t really in the mood for the holidays yet, then when winter finally swung around, I totally regretted not getting the Christmas set early!! I guess it takes a while for the Net Shop to coordinate the pre-orders for production, or something.
OMG you own another rare series! Hands down!
I love this series too because they’re just quite something especially the snowman and kii! Hehe. I need to work to get some older series but I hate bidding T.T
And WHAT? The pre-order for christmas san-x net exclusive open tomorrow? Dang! I thought they only will release a further pic tomorrow >.<
Oh hmmm haha maybe I mistranslated their post haha – Google translate isn’t the greatest for important things like this.
Yeah bidding is so stressful!! Especially when the auction is taking place halfway across the world haha
I’m not sure either though, facebook translated further picture will be released tomorrow not the pre-order’s
Let’s just wait then! XD
What an adorable set! I love Christmas, but being in Japan not only am I away from my family I have to work Christmas Day ;( I def need lots of Christmas rilaks to comfort me!
That snowman is hilarious, your right he’s so indifferent. Getting excited for more releases now!x
Looks like your wish got granted!! San-X FLOODED us with new release updates today – Halloween/Halloween Playset/Sapporo Anniversary/Umeda Anniversary all announced in the past 24 hours haha.
Celebrating a proper Christmas in Florida is kinda funny and silly – it never snows around here, so you’ll see Christmas lights on palm trees hahaha
Hehe yay the Rilakkuma gods were listening! :D what would be your dream Rilakkuma series? A Dr series? With a white coat and stethoscope? :) I’m not sure what I’d love, yukata has been done and cakes… Sumo Rilakkuma was be pretty cute!
Palm trees instead of Christmas trees sounds fabulous!x
Doctor Rilakkuma! Wow, that would be so cute – Rilakkuma having any kind of occupation would be super adorable, I think!
Salaryman Rilakkuma!!! :D
Wow – beautiful set! And congrats! So nice of Ariel to help you obtain it! :D they look extremely cuddly hehe ;) Christmas is not too far away now! Looking forward to seeing more releases for the 2013 Christmas line :D
Thanks!! It’s so weird to think about Christmas before September, but looks like San-X is trying to get us in the Christmas mood early!
