My First Non-Pony Brag...Japanese Spoon Pets!

[MLPforever]

Okay. So. I'm obsessed with these adorable little toys from Japan called Spoon Pets! They are tiny animals that move around on flat surfaces by vibrating (sort of like Nano Bugs in the U.S.) each one comes with a little plastic teacup and spoon, so you can scoop them up! There are also playsets, like a race track and a house! If you can't picture it, here is a Japanese commercial for them:

Anyhow, I got so obsessed so fast that I've already collected 22 (out of about 33 total) and more are on the way!

Recently I bought an entire wave at once (spoon pets are released in waves of 6) called the "storybook" wave. Each spoon pet is based on a different Fairy Tale, and their boxes are specially made to look like books! Aren't they beautiful?? From left to right, they are associated with the following fairy tales: Red Riding Hood, Peach Boy (Japanese story), Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Snow White, and Alice in Wonderland!

This one is my favorite of the storybook wave. Her name on the package is "Sakayuki" but she is based on Snow White. See the Apple on her side?

And here they all are in their teacups, along with what appears to be the rarest wave so far...the Sanrio wave! It features awesome characters like Hello Kitty and Pom Pom Purin! For some reason, I can't find any mention of the Sanrio wave except in the ebay shop where I bought them. And there only five in this wave so far...not six. Strange!

I bought this adorable "stationary" playset as well...at first it looks like a bunch of school supplies...but it becomes furniture in a tiny house for the spoon pets!

Your collection is amazing! I bought two (a blue cup and green cup) spoon pets when I was in Hong Kong at the airport and they're just so adorable! I love the little description on the instructions too

Also in love with that house playset

I love those! Both are from wave 1. I have the striped brown cat, but I don't have the pink bunny yet. I've neglected the first wave, for some reason.

I wish I hadn't watched that commercial, that just makes these little guys all the more tempting.

Veeeery cute!

[Nyssa]

Aww! They're cute! I love Japan. We need more things like this (although my wallet doesn't)

I'm sure you'll collect them all eventually
I hadn't found anything cute during my business trip, and then saw them at the airport. Now I wish I had bought more, since as soon as I unpacked them they became 10x cuter lol.

I love the snow white one!

Very cute!  Im glad you were finally able to get the storybook collection.

[SnorkMaiden]

Awww, they're so cute! I've never heard of them before. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so SO much banditpony, for telling me about amazon.jp! It was by going on there that I heard about tenso, and was finally able to buy the spoon pets I needed. You are the best! I'm going to be making another spoon pet order soon, and I would love to get one for you and send it as a gift of gratitude! Just let me know which one you like the best and I will try to find it for you!

I know--that storybook playset is the BEST! I can't wait to get it. It seems they release a playset with every wave (except the Sanrio wave...I don't know what's up with the Sanrio wave. There is no promotional material about them, no mention of them anywhere online except in the shop where I got them) the big house playset is for wave 1. The race track and stationary playset are for wave 2. The spiral tower playset is for wave 3. The book playset you linked to is for wave 4 (the storybook wave).

And I just discovered there is a new wave available for pre-order that features Moms and babies! Along with a new fashion style playset so you can dress them up!
