End of the week haul

Went shopping after a long week's work today, picked up these guys. I already opened Bane and he is one amazingly awesome figure. I don't even collect DC stuff, but this Arkham Asylum series look really really nice!

Moji Bakeru - Snake

So I decided to open up one of these small boxes from the Moji Bakeru set I got in my June Amiami haul.

There are three colors in available, but it is a blind box item so you don't know what you get until you open it.

Box contents: I got the gold kanji for "Snake", a sticker sheet, and a piece of gum for when you are putting it together. The instructions are printed on the inside of the box.

There were only 4 stickers in total, this is with the kanji sticker-ed up.

To transform, first you have to split the left and right part of the character.

Then twist the right side like this...

Then by removing the bottom pieces on the left side and putting them back on the side of the character...

Put the head on the body and voila you got a snake!

Overall, I really enjoyed this candy toy. It's just one of those simple toys that does not take a lot of time to make and enjoy, just like the old days. I really like the idea behind this toy though, it is a great way for kids to learn these simple kanji characters.
