OMG, you guys, I totally get the obsession with Chibigurumis! As a huge fan of Twisted Wonderland, these adorable plushies are just irresistible. Seriously, if I could afford all 22 students, my collection would be complete, and my heart would be so full! It’s such a dream to have them all lined up. For those who might be new to this adorable world, 'chibi' means 'small' in Japanese, and Chibigurumis are typically around 11cm – the perfect size for displaying on your desk or shelf. But did you know there are also much larger ones? I heard about the 'muchamofugut' 38cm plush that debuted in crane games on October 11th, and I can only imagine how incredibly soft and huggable that would be! The sheer fluffiness, or 'howahowa' as the Japanese onomatopoeia for fluffy goes, is part of their charm, especially with the 'Howanui's' series. The WONDERLAND BRAND is certainly no stranger to creating amazing nuigurumis, and these Chibigurumis are a testament to that. These little bundles of joy really gained popularity after their debut in 2021, especially with the trend of taking photos or videos with your nuigurumis. It’s so fun to see how creative people get, posing their favorite characters in different settings. I personally love seeing the Night Raven College Chibigurumis, from all the beloved students of Heartslabyul, like Riddle, to the mischievous members of the Octavinelle dorms. Each one is designed with such care, capturing the essence of the characters perfectly. It won't be long until we see all the Night Raven College Chibigurumis available, I hope! And speaking of excitement, how amazing does the CHIBIGURUMI FEST sound? The OCR mentioned it was taking place in Ikebukuro this weekend, with an 'EXCITING TWISTED WONDERLAND MERCH NEWS!' announcement. Imagine being there, surrounded by a 'plethora of cute Chibigurumis,' with about 1,000 historical Chibigurumis on display! That’s literally a collector's paradise, celebrating the 5th anniversary of something truly special. Bandai Spirits, under the Banpresto brand, does such a fantastic job, often launching new products to coincide with the anime’s progression, keeping the excitement alive for fans. It makes hunting for new releases a continuous adventure. My biggest challenge, like many of you, is definitely affordability and finding them all. Do you have any secret spots or strategies for getting your hands on specific Chibigurumis? Are you a fan of trying your luck at crane games, or do you prefer looking for them online? I'm always looking for tips to complete my ultimate Twisted Wonderland collection dream! It feels like a genuine quest, but one filled with so much joy and anticipation. These aren't just plushies; they’re tiny pieces of the magical world we love, bringing our favorite characters to life right in front of us. Keep an eye out for upcoming releases – you never know when your next favorite Chibigurumi will make its debut! Stay twisted, everyone, and happy collecting!
