Animal Crossing Isabelle/Shizue Nendoroid Review

I ordered the Isabelle Nendoroid from AmiAmi earlier this month, mostly on a whim, but also because I've been wanting her for a while! She took about two weeks to reach me (and also got caught by a nasty customs fee *cry*)
 Her box is super cute! I especially love the design of the sides.




 She came with a little instruction book showing how to put her parts together to make expressions.
 As with all Nendoroid figures, each piece has its own place in the plastic packaging.
 Her joints are protected by plastic as well. She's so cute! And a nice size too~
 She comes with a lot of parts; two extra faces, four extra arms, and the pieces for expressions.
 Her ponytail(?) comes apart and you can see the hair tie has real bells you can attach! She jingles when you shake her xD
 Here she is on her stand with the parts she came default in.
 And here she is holding her signature clipboard and pen!

 Jingle bells~
 When you take her face apart her fringe is a separate piece
 ?
 You can switch the hair tie so you can have her with the confused expression
 "When will senpai notice me?"
 For the music notes you can attach them to her stand
 Yaay!


 Her happy face is so cute!
 Her legs also move a little bit so you can have her walking



 "Thank you for reading this review!"
 She's fit in well into my little collection!
 My figures are so dusty I'm sorry guys! ;o;
 So all in all I really love this figure, her joints are easy to move and remove and attach new ones, I love the fact she has real bells (same as the Isabelle plushie I have too!) I love her size and all the parts she comes with as well, and how expressive she can be! The only thing I will say is that when she is on the stand, the part you stick in her back to stand her up blocks some movement of her tail. Apart from that, she's perfect!
Thanks for reading! Let me know if you enjoyed this review or would like to see more/something different~

Instax Mini 8 Review + Polaroid Journal

I bought myself a Instax Mini 8 from Amazon just after Christmas, along with film refills, as a treat to myself, and I thought I would do a little review!
 I've already personalised it with stickers and a resin charm~
 It's such a pretty colour though, I love the pastel pink!


 The little resin charm I attached to it


 I took a photo of me taking a photo ooo photoception!

 The photo takes a couple of minutes to develop (a little faster if it's put in a warm place like your armpit xD)
Not the greatest selfie, but I love the way the photos look!

I bought the plain white film, and also these coloured ones which I haven't tried out yet!
 This is a random notebook which I've decided to make into my Polaroid journal

 My first photos were fails while working out that the camera is no good for close up photos, which is a shame as I'd like to have taken photos of my charms and creations for a journal.
 Selfies work well though, as does drawing on them with sharpies xD
 Crazy new year house party~ The group photo turned out really dark :c

 I had to get a photo of me and Phil too, as I needed an updated one for my purse!
Overall, I really love my camera, it's great for when I get together with friends and you get to see the photo results almost instantly, and you get a little momento to keep! Plus the photos always seem to come out looking nice, almost like with an instagram filter on them. Only thing I don't like is that the film refills are pretty expensive for the amount of sheets you get in them.
