In honor of these wintery months, I present the Kobe Rilakkuma Store Opening Plush Set!
Rilakkuma and friends get to relax on a giant polar bear!
Rilakkuma’s arms back in a perfect relaxed pose!
Korilakkuma lazes around with her favorite toy penguin!
The bears get their own striped boots, while Kiiroitori gets… some shorts? Looks kind of like a diaper hehehe.
The polar bear! Whose ear features a blue and white striped pattern, and is continuous on the back side of the plush, too!
One of my favorite Rilakkuma details from this year: little striped bear! Wow, so adorable! Wish they also sold a larger plush bear like him!
Tag art: just like the plush itself!
Awesome! I absolutely love plush sets like this :3
This plush was a Rilakkuma Store exclusive honoring the opening of the 9th Rilakkuma Store in Kobe back in April! This plush follows the Stripes Series theme, which debuted a month prior to the Kobe Rilakkuma Store grand opening. How great to have this little piece of Rilakkuma history!
Big thanks to my Auntie Lulu for helping me acquire this cuddly plush! She has been so wonderful in helping me get new Rilakkumas lately :3
There have been quite a few new happenings in the Rilakkuma world since I last posted, but here are a couple of recent highlights!
What do you all think about this Mobile Exclusive Space Series Set?
Whoa! Check out this cosmic Rilakkuma diorama!
Hehehe, what a unique plushie design! This boxed plush set costs 7,800円 (6,800円 for those with a paid membership), and orders will be taken until January 13.
What about these fancy Rilakkuma contact lenses?
A Rilakkuma Hearts Series theme for your eyes!
Manufactured by Refrear, these cute contacts are 1,800円 for 10 contacts (5 single-day uses). They’re a nice, subtle look – I wonder how many people would even notice a change if I wore these though?
What about this Hatsuyume Rilakkuma plushie?
I dream of Rilakkuma!
Wow! I really love this concept and design! This auspicious plushie is 8,230円, and will be released on January 1 and 2 in all Rilakkuma Stores.
Hatsuyume (初夢) is the Japanese word for the first dream had in the new year. Traditionally, the contents of the dream would foretell the luck of the dreamer, and it is considered to be particularly good luck to dream of Mount Fuji, a hawk, and an eggplant – how awesome to see these 3 symbols in this plushie! I’m guessing a dream with Rilakkuma would make you even luckier! ;)
Apologies for the lack of updates recently: schooling and responsibilities just get in the way of things sometimes, eh?
How has your winter been going this year? Any Rilakkumas for gifts?
My family surprised me with an XL Winnie the Pooh Tsum Tsum last night!
Rilakkuma and Pooh Bear Tsum Tsum wish you a happy new year!
My family is so thoughtful! That Tsum Tsum game is way too addicting! Hope everyone is having a wonderful time as 2014 comes to a close!

Wow i hope San x makes some Rilakkuma tsum tsums– they would be even more maru than current bears!
Also whenever i see just the tsum face it looks like just a ball :O
Yeah! Though I think the transportation bears look very tsum tsum-esque hehe.
That contact lenses though seems interesting 😱 anyways Happy New Year ☺️
Yeah, I think they’re such a cool idea! Never thought about putting Rilakkuma in my eyes hahaha
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO FAITH!!😃 Really love your new XL Tsum Tsum Pooh! Your Rilakkuma has already fallen in love with it.☺️
So wonderful that your Aunt Lulu helped you to get the Kobe set. I think chick looks cute in his stripey diapers. 😄 Thank you so much for the lips syed too. I especially enjoyed reading about Hatsuyume. I was wondering why did chick have this special ‘bridle’ on.😅 I also find the cosmic Rilakkuma cute too. Rilakkuma trying his best to be like Superman. 😄
Sorry!! Typo!! Thank you so much for the latest updates too!!!😜😜😜
Yay, thanks for reading, as always :D I hope you have a very wonderful new year with your Rilakkumas, Tsum Tsums, and other plushes ;D
Nice! Happy New Year to you and I see you got some cute things!
I love how fuzzy the Kobe store plushie is, also love that striped pattern. The contacts are different, haha although I can’t help but be curious about it. I’m so tempted to somehow get my hands on that space series diorama, I love the series so much.
I got a Pooh Tsum Tsum for Christmas too! My sister got me one, although it’s a medium.
Take care :)
Yay for Pooh tsums! My sister has a medium one too, they are so adorable!!
(Wooo so sorry this reply is so delayed!!)
