Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":202245,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_content":"More than a decade after it last appeared, one of 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s most popular modern series is to conclude this Christmas with a special final episode!<\/span>\r\n\r\nLong hoped for by fans, occult horror action series\u00a0Caballistics Inc.<\/strong><\/em> will wrap up with a special one-off story by co-creators Gordon Rennie and Dom Reardon in 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s traditional bumper end-of-year issue.<\/span>\r\n\r\n2000 AD<\/em> Prog 2111 will be available in print and digital from 12 December 2018.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe entire series, with its new final episode, will then be collected in The Complete Caballistics Inc. <\/em>trade paperback, due for release on 21st February 2019 (19th February in North America).<\/span>\r\n\r\nWriter Gordon Rennie said: \u201cCaballistics Inc.<\/em> - the beast that was never quite fully put to rest. It\u2019s been fun to go back to it, draw a line under things and scratch that final itch that\u2019s gone unscratched for too long, which was all my own fault. And also fun to work with Dom Reardon again. I can\u2019t promise we\u2019ll never see any of these characters again. But, if we do, it would be in some very different form.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\n2000 AD <\/em>editor Matt Smith said: \u201cFans were left hanging back in 2007, when the last episode ended with the undead Lieutenant Francis X.

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":202245,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_content":"More than a decade after it last appeared, one of 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s most popular modern series is to conclude this Christmas with a special final episode!<\/span>\r\n\r\nLong hoped for by fans, occult horror action series\u00a0Caballistics Inc.<\/strong><\/em> will wrap up with a special one-off story by co-creators Gordon Rennie and Dom Reardon in 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s traditional bumper end-of-year issue.<\/span>\r\n\r\n2000 AD<\/em> Prog 2111 will be available in print and digital from 12 December 2018.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe entire series, with its new final episode, will then be collected in The Complete Caballistics Inc. <\/em>trade paperback, due for release on 21st February 2019 (19th February in North America).<\/span>\r\n\r\nWriter Gordon Rennie said: \u201cCaballistics Inc.<\/em> - the beast that was never quite fully put to rest.

This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":202245,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_content":"More than a decade after it last appeared, one of 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s most popular modern series is to conclude this Christmas with a special final episode!<\/span>\r\n\r\nLong hoped for by fans, occult horror action series\u00a0Caballistics Inc.<\/strong><\/em> will wrap up with a special one-off story by co-creators Gordon Rennie and Dom Reardon in 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s traditional bumper end-of-year issue.<\/span>\r\n\r\n2000 AD<\/em> Prog 2111 will be available in print and digital from 12 December 2018.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe entire series, with its new final episode, will then be collected in The Complete Caballistics Inc. <\/em>trade paperback, due for release on 21st February 2019 (19th February in North America).<\/span>\r\n\r\nWriter Gordon Rennie said: \u201cCaballistics Inc.<\/em> - the beast that was never quite fully put to rest.

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":202245,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_content":"More than a decade after it last appeared, one of 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s most popular modern series is to conclude this Christmas with a special final episode!<\/span>\r\n\r\nLong hoped for by fans, occult horror action series\u00a0Caballistics Inc.<\/strong><\/em> will wrap up with a special one-off story by co-creators Gordon Rennie and Dom Reardon in 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s traditional bumper end-of-year issue.<\/span>\r\n\r\n2000 AD<\/em> Prog 2111 will be available in print and digital from 12 December 2018.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe entire series, with its new final episode, will then be collected in The Complete Caballistics Inc. <\/em>trade paperback, due for release on 21st February 2019 (19th February in North America).<\/span>\r\n\r\nWriter Gordon Rennie said: \u201cCaballistics Inc.<\/em> - the beast that was never quite fully put to rest.

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":202245,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_content":"More than a decade after it last appeared, one of 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s most popular modern series is to conclude this Christmas with a special final episode!<\/span>\r\n\r\nLong hoped for by fans, occult horror action series\u00a0Caballistics Inc.<\/strong><\/em> will wrap up with a special one-off story by co-creators Gordon Rennie and Dom Reardon in 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s traditional bumper end-of-year issue.<\/span>\r\n\r\n2000 AD<\/em> Prog 2111 will be available in print and digital from 12 December 2018.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe entire series, with its new final episode, will then be collected in The Complete Caballistics Inc. <\/em>trade paperback, due for release on 21st February 2019 (19th February in North America).<\/span>\r\n\r\nWriter Gordon Rennie said: \u201cCaballistics Inc.<\/em> - the beast that was never quite fully put to rest. It\u2019s been fun to go back to it, draw a line under things and scratch that final itch that\u2019s gone unscratched for too long, which was all my own fault.

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month.

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":202245,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_content":"More than a decade after it last appeared, one of 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s most popular modern series is to conclude this Christmas with a special final episode!<\/span>\r\n\r\nLong hoped for by fans, occult horror action series\u00a0Caballistics Inc.<\/strong><\/em> will wrap up with a special one-off story by co-creators Gordon Rennie and Dom Reardon in 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s traditional bumper end-of-year issue.<\/span>\r\n\r\n2000 AD<\/em> Prog 2111 will be available in print and digital from 12 December 2018.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe entire series, with its new final episode, will then be collected in The Complete Caballistics Inc. <\/em>trade paperback, due for release on 21st February 2019 (19th February in North America).<\/span>\r\n\r\nWriter Gordon Rennie said: \u201cCaballistics Inc.<\/em> - the beast that was never quite fully put to rest.

Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags.

Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":202245,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_content":"More than a decade after it last appeared, one of 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s most popular modern series is to conclude this Christmas with a special final episode!<\/span>\r\n\r\nLong hoped for by fans, occult horror action series\u00a0Caballistics Inc.<\/strong><\/em> will wrap up with a special one-off story by co-creators Gordon Rennie and Dom Reardon in 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s traditional bumper end-of-year issue.<\/span>\r\n\r\n2000 AD<\/em> Prog 2111 will be available in print and digital from 12 December 2018.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe entire series, with its new final episode, will then be collected in The Complete Caballistics Inc. <\/em>trade paperback, due for release on 21st February 2019 (19th February in North America).<\/span>\r\n\r\nWriter Gordon Rennie said: \u201cCaballistics Inc.<\/em> - the beast that was never quite fully put to rest.

Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":202245,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_content":"More than a decade after it last appeared, one of 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s most popular modern series is to conclude this Christmas with a special final episode!<\/span>\r\n\r\nLong hoped for by fans, occult horror action series\u00a0Caballistics Inc.<\/strong><\/em> will wrap up with a special one-off story by co-creators Gordon Rennie and Dom Reardon in 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s traditional bumper end-of-year issue.<\/span>\r\n\r\n2000 AD<\/em> Prog 2111 will be available in print and digital from 12 December 2018.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe entire series, with its new final episode, will then be collected in The Complete Caballistics Inc. <\/em>trade paperback, due for release on 21st February 2019 (19th February in North America).<\/span>\r\n\r\nWriter Gordon Rennie said: \u201cCaballistics Inc.<\/em> - the beast that was never quite fully put to rest.

Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n

We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji.

This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":202245,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_content":"More than a decade after it last appeared, one of 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s most popular modern series is to conclude this Christmas with a special final episode!<\/span>\r\n\r\nLong hoped for by fans, occult horror action series\u00a0Caballistics Inc.<\/strong><\/em> will wrap up with a special one-off story by co-creators Gordon Rennie and Dom Reardon in 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s traditional bumper end-of-year issue.<\/span>\r\n\r\n2000 AD<\/em> Prog 2111 will be available in print and digital from 12 December 2018.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe entire series, with its new final episode, will then be collected in The Complete Caballistics Inc. <\/em>trade paperback, due for release on 21st February 2019 (19th February in North America).<\/span>\r\n\r\nWriter Gordon Rennie said: \u201cCaballistics Inc.<\/em> - the beast that was never quite fully put to rest.

\n
Our first product this month was the already announced Christmas Ball Cushion from Sanrio. This squishable festive plush is available in two characters - Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Of which I got the adorable Golden Retriever mascot. These official mascots are well made and stuffed, with stretchy material that always returns to its original shape. The only thing I noticed was that the Christmas hat on my plush was barely stitched on in two places, but if you are handy with a needle and thread - its\u2019 a simple repair job. It\u2019s a perfect addition to any Christmas decor and will be well loved in my home for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. At the moment, SoKawaii are shipping their boxes via DHL as Japan Post is still not allowing worldwide postage from Japan. Whether you subscribe month to month, or for their 3, 6 or even 12 month package options \u2013 there are savings to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through SoKawaiis\u2019 social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cCheers To A Kawaii Year\u201d, which will feature goods from Animal Crossing, Sanrio and Sailor Moon, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media. I want to thank each and everyone of you for following my content this year and I hope you enjoyed it! I want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and I will be back again next month for the first SoKawaii box of 2021!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":202245,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_content":"More than a decade after it last appeared, one of 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s most popular modern series is to conclude this Christmas with a special final episode!<\/span>\r\n\r\nLong hoped for by fans, occult horror action series\u00a0Caballistics Inc.<\/strong><\/em> will wrap up with a special one-off story by co-creators Gordon Rennie and Dom Reardon in 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s traditional bumper end-of-year issue.<\/span>\r\n\r\n2000 AD<\/em> Prog 2111 will be available in print and digital from 12 December 2018.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe entire series, with its new final episode, will then be collected in The Complete Caballistics Inc. <\/em>trade paperback, due for release on 21st February 2019 (19th February in North America).<\/span>\r\n\r\nWriter Gordon Rennie said: \u201cCaballistics Inc.<\/em> - the beast that was never quite fully put to rest.

SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (the Japanese word for cute). They create monthly subscription boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from brands such as Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio, Studio Ghibli and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive to Japan, pack them up in a very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently trending in Japanese arcades and stores. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. They also listen to what you would like to be included in future boxes, by asking across their social media. So make sure to have your opinions heard over on their social media posts. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our first product this month was the already announced Christmas Ball Cushion from Sanrio. This squishable festive plush is available in two characters - Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Of which I got the adorable Golden Retriever mascot. These official mascots are well made and stuffed, with stretchy material that always returns to its original shape. The only thing I noticed was that the Christmas hat on my plush was barely stitched on in two places, but if you are handy with a needle and thread - its\u2019 a simple repair job. It\u2019s a perfect addition to any Christmas decor and will be well loved in my home for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. At the moment, SoKawaii are shipping their boxes via DHL as Japan Post is still not allowing worldwide postage from Japan. Whether you subscribe month to month, or for their 3, 6 or even 12 month package options \u2013 there are savings to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nhttp:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through SoKawaiis\u2019 social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cCheers To A Kawaii Year\u201d, which will feature goods from Animal Crossing, Sanrio and Sailor Moon, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media. I want to thank each and everyone of you for following my content this year and I hope you enjoyed it! I want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and I will be back again next month for the first SoKawaii box of 2021!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty.

This month\u2019s theme was \u2018Kawaii Christmas Party\u2019, which contained six items from both Sanrio, Animal Crossing, Kirby and Sumikko Gurashi. Two of which are filled with festive cheer, another three were practical and the last was a very popular Animal Crossing item in every combini in Japan. So let\u2019s get the usual info out of the way, of just how you can get your own box and subscription from SoKawaii! This box also marks SoKawaii\u2019s second anniversary!! So massive congratulations to all their dedicated team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (the Japanese word for cute). They create monthly subscription boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from brands such as Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio, Studio Ghibli and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive to Japan, pack them up in a very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently trending in Japanese arcades and stores. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. They also listen to what you would like to be included in future boxes, by asking across their social media. So make sure to have your opinions heard over on their social media posts. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our first product this month was the already announced Christmas Ball Cushion from Sanrio. This squishable festive plush is available in two characters - Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Of which I got the adorable Golden Retriever mascot. These official mascots are well made and stuffed, with stretchy material that always returns to its original shape. The only thing I noticed was that the Christmas hat on my plush was barely stitched on in two places, but if you are handy with a needle and thread - its\u2019 a simple repair job. It\u2019s a perfect addition to any Christmas decor and will be well loved in my home for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. At the moment, SoKawaii are shipping their boxes via DHL as Japan Post is still not allowing worldwide postage from Japan. Whether you subscribe month to month, or for their 3, 6 or even 12 month package options \u2013 there are savings to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nhttp:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through SoKawaiis\u2019 social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cCheers To A Kawaii Year\u201d, which will feature goods from Animal Crossing, Sanrio and Sailor Moon, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media. I want to thank each and everyone of you for following my content this year and I hope you enjoyed it! I want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and I will be back again next month for the first SoKawaii box of 2021!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by.

So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":202245,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_content":"More than a decade after it last appeared, one of 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s most popular modern series is to conclude this Christmas with a special final episode!<\/span>\r\n\r\nLong hoped for by fans, occult horror action series\u00a0Caballistics Inc.<\/strong><\/em> will wrap up with a special one-off story by co-creators Gordon Rennie and Dom Reardon in 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s traditional bumper end-of-year issue.<\/span>\r\n\r\n2000 AD<\/em> Prog 2111 will be available in print and digital from 12 December 2018.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe entire series, with its new final episode, will then be collected in The Complete Caballistics Inc. <\/em>trade paperback, due for release on 21st February 2019 (19th February in North America).<\/span>\r\n\r\nWriter Gordon Rennie said: \u201cCaballistics Inc.<\/em> - the beast that was never quite fully put to rest.

\n
Hello again my dears, the festive season is upon us once more and this month's box is like an early Christmas present to myself. We are now in the final month of what has been a chaotic 2020, a year like no other that had surprises around every corner whether we liked them or not! So in order to finish off this year, let\u2019s dive into the final SoKawaii subscription box of 2020!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This month\u2019s theme was \u2018Kawaii Christmas Party\u2019, which contained six items from both Sanrio, Animal Crossing, Kirby and Sumikko Gurashi. Two of which are filled with festive cheer, another three were practical and the last was a very popular Animal Crossing item in every combini in Japan. So let\u2019s get the usual info out of the way, of just how you can get your own box and subscription from SoKawaii! This box also marks SoKawaii\u2019s second anniversary!! So massive congratulations to all their dedicated team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (the Japanese word for cute). They create monthly subscription boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from brands such as Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio, Studio Ghibli and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive to Japan, pack them up in a very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently trending in Japanese arcades and stores. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. They also listen to what you would like to be included in future boxes, by asking across their social media. So make sure to have your opinions heard over on their social media posts. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our first product this month was the already announced Christmas Ball Cushion from Sanrio. This squishable festive plush is available in two characters - Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Of which I got the adorable Golden Retriever mascot. These official mascots are well made and stuffed, with stretchy material that always returns to its original shape. The only thing I noticed was that the Christmas hat on my plush was barely stitched on in two places, but if you are handy with a needle and thread - its\u2019 a simple repair job. It\u2019s a perfect addition to any Christmas decor and will be well loved in my home for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. At the moment, SoKawaii are shipping their boxes via DHL as Japan Post is still not allowing worldwide postage from Japan. Whether you subscribe month to month, or for their 3, 6 or even 12 month package options \u2013 there are savings to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nhttp:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through SoKawaiis\u2019 social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cCheers To A Kawaii Year\u201d, which will feature goods from Animal Crossing, Sanrio and Sailor Moon, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media. I want to thank each and everyone of you for following my content this year and I hope you enjoyed it! I want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and I will be back again next month for the first SoKawaii box of 2021!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":202245,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_content":"More than a decade after it last appeared, one of 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s most popular modern series is to conclude this Christmas with a special final episode!<\/span>\r\n\r\nLong hoped for by fans, occult horror action series\u00a0Caballistics Inc.<\/strong><\/em> will wrap up with a special one-off story by co-creators Gordon Rennie and Dom Reardon in 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s traditional bumper end-of-year issue.<\/span>\r\n\r\n2000 AD<\/em> Prog 2111 will be available in print and digital from 12 December 2018.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe entire series, with its new final episode, will then be collected in The Complete Caballistics Inc. <\/em>trade paperback, due for release on 21st February 2019 (19th February in North America).<\/span>\r\n\r\nWriter Gordon Rennie said: \u201cCaballistics Inc.<\/em> - the beast that was never quite fully put to rest.

Kawaii Christmas Party<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, with every parcel that arrives!!!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
Hello again my dears, the festive season is upon us once more and this month's box is like an early Christmas present to myself. We are now in the final month of what has been a chaotic 2020, a year like no other that had surprises around every corner whether we liked them or not! So in order to finish off this year, let\u2019s dive into the final SoKawaii subscription box of 2020!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This month\u2019s theme was \u2018Kawaii Christmas Party\u2019, which contained six items from both Sanrio, Animal Crossing, Kirby and Sumikko Gurashi. Two of which are filled with festive cheer, another three were practical and the last was a very popular Animal Crossing item in every combini in Japan. So let\u2019s get the usual info out of the way, of just how you can get your own box and subscription from SoKawaii! This box also marks SoKawaii\u2019s second anniversary!! So massive congratulations to all their dedicated team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (the Japanese word for cute). They create monthly subscription boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from brands such as Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio, Studio Ghibli and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive to Japan, pack them up in a very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently trending in Japanese arcades and stores. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. They also listen to what you would like to be included in future boxes, by asking across their social media. So make sure to have your opinions heard over on their social media posts. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our first product this month was the already announced Christmas Ball Cushion from Sanrio. This squishable festive plush is available in two characters - Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Of which I got the adorable Golden Retriever mascot. These official mascots are well made and stuffed, with stretchy material that always returns to its original shape. The only thing I noticed was that the Christmas hat on my plush was barely stitched on in two places, but if you are handy with a needle and thread - its\u2019 a simple repair job. It\u2019s a perfect addition to any Christmas decor and will be well loved in my home for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. At the moment, SoKawaii are shipping their boxes via DHL as Japan Post is still not allowing worldwide postage from Japan. Whether you subscribe month to month, or for their 3, 6 or even 12 month package options \u2013 there are savings to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nhttp:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through SoKawaiis\u2019 social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cCheers To A Kawaii Year\u201d, which will feature goods from Animal Crossing, Sanrio and Sailor Moon, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media. I want to thank each and everyone of you for following my content this year and I hope you enjoyed it! I want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and I will be back again next month for the first SoKawaii box of 2021!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":202245,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_content":"More than a decade after it last appeared, one of 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s most popular modern series is to conclude this Christmas with a special final episode!<\/span>\r\n\r\nLong hoped for by fans, occult horror action series\u00a0Caballistics Inc.<\/strong><\/em> will wrap up with a special one-off story by co-creators Gordon Rennie and Dom Reardon in 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s traditional bumper end-of-year issue.<\/span>\r\n\r\n2000 AD<\/em> Prog 2111 will be available in print and digital from 12 December 2018.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe entire series, with its new final episode, will then be collected in The Complete Caballistics Inc. <\/em>trade paperback, due for release on 21st February 2019 (19th February in North America).<\/span>\r\n\r\nWriter Gordon Rennie said: \u201cCaballistics Inc.<\/em> - the beast that was never quite fully put to rest.

Kawaii Christmas Party<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, with every parcel that arrives!!!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
Hello again my dears, the festive season is upon us once more and this month's box is like an early Christmas present to myself. We are now in the final month of what has been a chaotic 2020, a year like no other that had surprises around every corner whether we liked them or not! So in order to finish off this year, let\u2019s dive into the final SoKawaii subscription box of 2020!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This month\u2019s theme was \u2018Kawaii Christmas Party\u2019, which contained six items from both Sanrio, Animal Crossing, Kirby and Sumikko Gurashi. Two of which are filled with festive cheer, another three were practical and the last was a very popular Animal Crossing item in every combini in Japan. So let\u2019s get the usual info out of the way, of just how you can get your own box and subscription from SoKawaii! This box also marks SoKawaii\u2019s second anniversary!! So massive congratulations to all their dedicated team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (the Japanese word for cute). They create monthly subscription boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from brands such as Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio, Studio Ghibli and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive to Japan, pack them up in a very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently trending in Japanese arcades and stores. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. They also listen to what you would like to be included in future boxes, by asking across their social media. So make sure to have your opinions heard over on their social media posts. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_1\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our first product this month was the already announced Christmas Ball Cushion from Sanrio. This squishable festive plush is available in two characters - Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin. Of which I got the adorable Golden Retriever mascot. These official mascots are well made and stuffed, with stretchy material that always returns to its original shape. The only thing I noticed was that the Christmas hat on my plush was barely stitched on in two places, but if you are handy with a needle and thread - its\u2019 a simple repair job. It\u2019s a perfect addition to any Christmas decor and will be well loved in my home for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_2\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_3\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our second product this month is also the previously announced Sanrio Christmas Blanket. This super fluffy lap blanket measures in at 70x100cm and features many Sanrio mascots including Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pochacco and more. Unfortunately I saw no sign of Kuromi, which was a bit of a bummer. It is an incredibly festive blanket though, going by the symbols I see on the tag this blanket is hand wash only so make sure you don't put it in the washing machine. Although I don't see why you couldn't just have it on a cold wash, its best not to tempt faith as I would hate to see this blanket get destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_4\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_5\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next Sanrio product is a pack of eco-friendly paper straws. Which I am sure will come in very handy during the holiday season if you have guests coming over. With 30 straws inside, with two different color variations they are almost too cute to even use! We are now onto our Kirby item, which is a location exclusive Lip Cream which is available in two versions, being either Tokyo or Mount Fuji. The overall packaging is adorable and fully recyclable, however once you flip the front around you will notice how small the product actually is. Its all about the appearance for this lip cream, and it will definitely stand out in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_6\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
Our next product on the practical side is a body sponge from Sumikko Gurashi. Now I really liked the last set of sponges we got a few months back, that were also from Sumikko Gurashi. This one however is larger, looks perfect for lathering up your soap and will be needed to scrub away the negative effects that 2020 has left on all of us! This item is also available in four characters, including Shirokuma, Neko, Penguin and Tokage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our sixth and final item is the Animal Crossing Choco egg, much like a Kinder Egg it comes with a small toy inside encased in a chocolate shell. This item has been hopping off the shelves in Japanese convenience stores, as the franchise has had a massive following this year when the game came out during the first lockdown. With 18 characters to collect, you will be at it for a while to complete your collection. I want to ask you readers though, how much would you pay for this in a shop or even to import it from Japan? As I have seen footage from stores in Japan that sell it for 250Yen, which is about \u20ac2.50. Then I have come across sites that sell Japanese snacks and crates, that sell a single one for $10.00! Which is an obscene price to pay in my opinion! Just how much are devoted fans of Animal Crossing willing to pay for a single egg? Now I have eaten the chocolate and although it appears similar to a Kinder Egg, the chocolate itself is much similar to a very cheap Advent Calendar chocolate. Very cheap tasting and something I wouldn't be in a rush to buy again, however much like Kinder Eggs - its all about the surprise toy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
$\"sokawaiidecember2020_7\"$ <\/p>\n\n\n
And there we have it folks, the final SoKawaii box of 2020! So if you want to know how to get your own subscription, then continue on reading! There\u2019s even a discount code in there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here is the price breakdown of the box each month and the savings you can get. At the moment, SoKawaii are shipping their boxes via DHL as Japan Post is still not allowing worldwide postage from Japan. Whether you subscribe month to month, or for their 3, 6 or even 12 month package options \u2013 there are savings to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nhttp:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s box, rest assured that the items are different every month, for the most part. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through SoKawaiis\u2019 social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cCheers To A Kawaii Year\u201d, which will feature goods from Animal Crossing, Sanrio and Sailor Moon, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media. I want to thank each and everyone of you for following my content this year and I hope you enjoyed it! I want to wish you all a very happy Christmas and I will be back again next month for the first SoKawaii box of 2021!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello folks, I\u2019m back again with another SoKawaii box review. This months\u2019 is of course centred around the holidays, and is so jammed packed with goodies that they actually had to make a bigger box just to hold them all! This month we have some returning franchises including Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and Cardcaptor Sakura - but first, let\u2019s get down to the usual details.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec2\"$ \r\n\r\nFor those of you that are just jumping into this article, this is now my 8th consecutive month that I have gotten this box. SoKawaii is a company based in Japan, home of practically everything kawaii (Japanese for cute). They create monthly boxes, jam packed with 100% licensed products from Hello Kitty, Pok\u00e9mon, Sanrio and more. The items range from plushies to Gachapon, little figures, stationary, lifestyle, kitchenware and more. The staff at SoKawaii handpicks 6 to 8 cute & useful items exclusive in Japan, pack them up in this very decorative box and send it straight to your doorstep. You can also check out their Instagram for even more info and insights into what is currently appearing in Japanese arcades. As well as sneak peeks into what they could be including in next month\u2019s box. <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokawaii\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec3\"$ \r\n\r\nFirst off we have the Cardcaptor Sakura item, which is a nicely detailed official figure! Because of the size of this box, SoKawaii had to just make their packaging bigger. This figure is guaranteed in every December box and features the main character Sakura in her Tomoeda School Uniform. It\u2019s a pretty sturdy figure, and only takes two seconds to assemble. It also comes with a small Kero-chan to hang from her arms. Now there are two issues I have with this figure, for one her complexion is a bit on the extra pale side. Also the packaging is excessive, as the figure only takes up perhaps a fifth of the box. If you are after getting this month\u2019s box then you will know exactly what I mean. The only conclusion I could come to was that this figure was a claw machine prize at some point. Hence the uneven distribution of weight to make it more difficult to win. Now this has nothing to do with SoKawaii or the crate, but more to do with the manufacturer of the figure. Here\u2019s hoping though that SoKawaii will include more figures of this scale in their boxes in the future, or perhaps even as an annual addition to their Christmas boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec4\"$ \r\n\r\nNext up we have our Sanrio gifts, starting with an eco tote bag. There were three designs available and I got the Cinnamoroll one. A well stitched and sturdy cloth bag, which can be folded up and attached to your handbag by a clip. This is very useful for the season that\u2019s in it, as there will always be something you\u2019ll have to pick up on the way home, for example my almost daily weekday visits to the post office for the past three weeks. This tote will be staying in my bag everyday from here on out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"sokawaiidec5\"$ \r\n\r\nOur third item is a beauty product from Sanrio. A kawaii looking hairbrush that is both practical and super girly. This thick-handled brush, encases a vast amount of sparkles to give off that extra bit of magic as you start your mornings. This item was available in two designs, which I received the Kuromi version of. I think the second option may have been My Melody. I\u2019m not entirely sure if I will be using it, as I feel it would be best suited to a younger girl.<\/span>\r\n\r\nItem four is our exclusive Pok\u00e9mon item, which is known as a Furoshiki. Now on first look it does remind me of a bandana that I may have been rocking back in the 90s\u2019. It is a strong made cloth that features seasonal Pikachu designs, with four available to cover each season. Japan is really big on gift giving and wrapping presents, it\u2019s a big part of their culture over there. It goes so far that if someone at work goes away on holiday, it is expected that they bring back presents for their colleagues. So in the spirit of gift giving, the staff at So Kawaii have picked out these adorable Pikachu cloth wraps. I received Springs design, which features Pikachu and so many cherry blossom prints. This item is also Made entirely in Japan! However although its purpose is to be used to wrap a gift, I don\u2019t think I will be giving it away anytime soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nOur fifth item is one for the kitchen, as we get a box of 6 Sanrio themed resealable food bags. Yup you read that right! Food bags or sandwich bags, whichever you wish to call them. A cute way to pack your lunch each day, or if you are planning a trip away, they are great for separating your toiletries. I honestly don\u2019t know when I will be using these, I am half tempted to put them aside for our Japan trip next year. These very useful to have lying around and they come in two different designs - My Melody and My Little Twin Stars Lala and Kiki.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd lastly we have our Sanrio Christmas Edition plushie. To top off this holiday box, So Kawaii have included a Sanrio mascot decked out as Santa in every box. With 6 different ones available, they are perfect to hang on your Christmas tree, I got the adorable Pompompurin for mine.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWell folks that is the end of 2019 and this months\u2019 crate. It was once again well worth getting, even if just for the Cardcaptor Sakura figure. It was definitely a very Sanrio focussed box this month, which not only included a Christmas decoration but items for the kitchen, dad-to-day life and beauty. Once again it is a service well worth signing up to and I will be keeping my subscription going well into the new year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere is the price break down of the box each month and the savings you can get, weather you subscribe month to month, or for 3, 6 or even 12 months. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the box is each month.<\/span>\r\n\r\n1 MONTH \u2013 $35.00\/\u20ac31.77mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n3 MONTHS \u2013 $33.50\/\u20ac30.40mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n6 MONTHS \u2013 $32.00\/\u20ac29.04mo<\/span>\r\n\r\n12 MONTHS \u2013 $31.50\/\u20ac28.59mo<\/span>\r\n\r\nBetter yet, here is a 10% discount code that you can use on your first box!<\/span>\r\n\r\n http:\/\/sokawaii.refr.cc\/maryhealy<\/a>\r\n\r\nNow if you liked everything you saw in this review of December\u2019s crate, rest assured that the items are different every month. Each box has 6 to 8 items included and a few of them will be revealed online through the SoKawaii social media as the weeks go by. January\u2019s box theme is \u201cWinter Celebrations\u201d, which will feature goods from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio, with a few of the products included already announced across their social media.<\/span>\r\n\r\nClick on the link below to sign up today and get their newsletter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n https:\/\/www.sokawaiibox.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis service also offers free shipping, but I do suggest spending that extra few euros or dollars to get the tracked shipping, so you can locate your parcel once dispatched. So that is December\u2019s box and 2019, I will be back again next month to show you what January\u2019s box has in store in the new year! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the holidays and hope to see you all again at the start of the next decade.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n","post_title":"SoKawaii December Box Review","post_excerpt":"Magical Christmas","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sokawaii-december-box-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-23 14:57:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":202245,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_date_gmt":"2018-11-09 14:57:34","post_content":"More than a decade after it last appeared, one of 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s most popular modern series is to conclude this Christmas with a special final episode!<\/span>\r\n\r\nLong hoped for by fans, occult horror action series\u00a0Caballistics Inc.<\/strong><\/em> will wrap up with a special one-off story by co-creators Gordon Rennie and Dom Reardon in 2000 AD<\/em>\u2019s traditional bumper end-of-year issue.<\/span>\r\n\r\n2000 AD<\/em> Prog 2111 will be available in print and digital from 12 December 2018.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe entire series, with its new final episode, will then be collected in The Complete Caballistics Inc. <\/em>trade paperback, due for release on 21st February 2019 (19th February in North America).<\/span>\r\n\r\nWriter Gordon Rennie said: \u201cCaballistics Inc.<\/em> - the beast that was never quite fully put to rest.
