Well, it keeps getting warmer and warmer around here, so to chill out a little bit, say hello to Shaved Ice Rilakkuma!
Lovely! Looks like he’s ready for seconds (or thirds) haha.
Fansclub released this plushie in July 2010, but what’s really interesting about this plushie is that he was part of the 7th Anniversary Happy Rainbow series – wow! I’m not sure what all shaved ice has to do with the rainbow series (I always thought they featured more ice cream in that line), but it’s really beautiful and one of my favorite series because of the colors :) The 7th anniversary series has always been on my wishlist, so I’m so glad to have this plushie in my collection!
The shaved ice motif actually reminds me a lot of the Harajuku Rilakkuma Store opening plushie from back in 2012!
Again, this beautiful plushie was courtesy of the ever generous Rilakkuma fan Trinie!! Thank you so much for sharing your love of rare and hard to find Rilakkuma plushies!
Also, I tweeted about this back when it was announced in January, but how BEAUTIFUL does this Ecole Criollo x Rilakkuma collaboration cake look?
Looks delectable (and fancy)!
So much more to come! Can’t wait to share more Rilakkuma plushies with all of you!
Yummy!
Shaved ice is so delicious!
I just want you to share some the cake with us :)
Maybe I will bake you a Rilakkuma cake :3
It does look like the one from Harajuku! He’s so cute and happy with his shaved ice :D I keep seeing ads for that Cake but it’s coffee flavored >.< it looks so delicious though and I'm hoping to see more flavors in the future.
Yeah! I guess the shaved ice theme was a design they really loved! It looks so similar to the Harajuku plush haha.
The cake is really pretty! I wish we had a cafe like that here.
Rilakkuma doesn’t look too pleased…maybe because he’s run out of shaved ice? Those cakes look AMAZING. I would love to eat them…or maybe stare at them for a while before eating them.
Yeah haha his expression makes it seem like he ran out and is asking for more haha – I think the other plushies in this line have bowls full of shaved ice too haha.
The cakes look so good!! (Maybe too good to eat?)
That cake is beautiful. I’m sort of tempted to see if it would survive overseas shipping.
It really does look like perfection!! I’m so surprised with how much detail they can get on a cake (and it’s so smooth, too!)
