Yayy! New Unicornos!

Since I was having a hard time with my mental health last month, I wanted to try and cheer myself up and so I decided it was time to get some more unicorno blindboxes. Opening these boxes to find a surprise, beautifully-designed, colourful unicorno inside never fails to make me smile! :) If you haven't seen my unicorno posts before, they are adorable unicorn vinyl figures made by a company called Tokidoki, which sells loads of adorable mech. There are twelve to collect in each series, and I'm currently trying to complete series 4. Before ordering these new blindboxes, I had collected seven unicornos and I was so happy to discover that I'd received two new unicornos (plus a couple of duplicates!) and I can't wait to show them to you all. I hope you enjoy reading! 


 I am so happy that I finally received Cornetto! I just love his design, I think he's so pretty and adorable, and he was one of my favourites in this series from the start. Cornetto's design resembles the characters in Tokidoki's Donutella & Friends collection. 


 I love the light and dark brown colour of his body, along with the icing and sprinkles of this design, it makes me think of a chocolate-coated donut. I absolutely love the multi-coloured sprinkles, they stand out so well because of his body colour. His horn is also really eye-catching being bright white. 


Isn't he just so pretty!? I like how the Tokidoki logo is different shade of brown to the rest of the unicorno. He's just a lovely unicorno and I'm so glad that I have now added him to my collection :) 


It was my lucky day when I opened these blindboxes! I got another new unicorno, which was also on my original favourites list! This unicorno is called Cremino and his design also resembles another of the Tokidoki characters, Moofia. These characters are cow themed and many of them are designed to look like milk cartons. Latte is one of most well-known of the Moofia series, and Cremino has been made to look like him :) 


I think it's so cool that Cremino has two horns and that they are an awesome gold colour! I love his matching gold hooves & cheeks. My favourite part about his design is the pale blue colour they've used. I really like how it looks like they've dipped half of the figure in blue paint. 


I think the bright white colour of this unicorno is so pretty! It's another wonderful unicorn! I am definitely in love with these unicornos and it's going to be difficult for me to resist collecting series 1,2 & 3 but at the moment, I have no where to display anymore! I just have three more figures to collect to complete this series, two of which are chasers! Wish me luck :) 

Thankyou for reading!


Which unicorno do you prefer? Cornetto or Cremino?

More Unicorno Blindboxes

I knew that as soon as I ripped open my first unicorno blindbox, tore the silver packaging and revealed the adorable unicorn vinyl figure that was waiting inside, that I would be hooked. After watching people open these blindboxes on youtube for months, I was so excited to get my hands on one of my own! I was aware that they would be cute, but in person they are so much better! I love how every individual unicorno 'character' has so many little details that make them unique. Since opening my first two unicorno blindboxes, I've purchased six more. I get all of my unicornos from Collect & Display. I decided I wanted to complete the set and collect all twelve unicornos in the series 4 collection. I can't wait to put up a little shelf in my bedroom and line up my kawaii unicorno army! So anyhow... here are the newest unicornos to my colleciton :) 



The first new unicorno I got was 'Yuki'. She's so pretty! She's like the Elsa of the unicorno world :) I love the colour of this unicorno, the blues and whites and the silver horn, hooves and tokidoki logo. The little snowflakes are adorable, with their little smiley faces, especially the one in her hair. 



The next unicorno I got was 'Hikari', which means 'light' in Japanese. This unicorno is so lovely and is designed with a goldfish theme. The colours are very bright, with a mixture of dark and light orange, and silver patches to represent scales. I love how her cheeks are tiny orange hearts and the expression on the fishes face is cute; it looks in awe! 


 This little beauty is 'Pallina'; she wasn't one of my favourites from the pictures on the side of the box but she sure is one of them now. She is just so gorgeous! I love everything about her design. I love the bright coloured stars dotted all over her, her multi-coloured hooves, the little pink detail on her ears, the star design of her cheeks with whiskers on, the pale pink colour of her horn and how her eyelashes are a different style to the other unicornos.




She is a cat themed unicorno, how adorable is her cat nose? She also has the prettiest bow on her tail. She has a little bit of damage on the end of her horn, the point is missing, but you can barely notice it. She's just an all-around fantastic unicorno!



This unicorno is called 'Yuma' and she was one of my favourites that I really want to get! She's designed in the style of another of Tokidoki's characters, the Cactus Friends, which I've absolutely loved since I bought my hello kitty X cactus friends collaboration plushie :) I really like the illuminous pink colour of her hooves and horn. Green is also my favourite colour so that's another thing that drew me to this unicorno in particular and I just think the spikey design of her is so cool. 


 Her tail is also spikey, which is awesome! She's a great character and I really like her name.

 I know this unicorno is a really popular one, and I'm not surprised! Her colour and overall design is gorgeous. I love the mint colour of her is so pretty and the butterfly cartoons that decorate her body are so sweet. I love the mixture of pink and lilac that cover the rest of her body, and the butterfly in her hair is adorable. She's a really girly unicorno, even her eyes and eyelashes are designed in a way that makes her resemble a Disney Princess. 


She has a different decoration on the other side of her body, a butterfly and some colourful diasies. I like how two of her hooves are pink and two are mint. 

So far, I was really lucky not to get any duplicate unicornos, but my luck didn't last! My final blindbox contained one that I already had, 'Can Can', which I got in my first unboxing (see her here). Unfortunetly, this vinyl figure of Can Can was damaged and when I let the company know, I experienced fantastic customer service. They replied to my email very quickly asking if I'd like a new blindbox or a refund. Of course, I wanted another blindbox and they sent me a new one right away. I was very happy with how polite and facilitating the company were. This new blindbox also contained Can Can!! hahaha it made me laugh. Although it is a little annoying when you get repeats but the point of blindboxes is that you can get any of the unicornos so you have to be prepared to receive duplicates. I will save this unicorno to use for a future giveaway :)


 I have five more unicornos to collect to complete my entire set and two of those are chasers, which means they are harder to get! Wish me luck :) I hope you enjoyed reading today's post. 

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Tokidoki Unicorno Blindboxes


I was so excited to get my first ever tokidoki blindboxes! If you saw my latest kawaii & geeky wishlist, you'd have spotted that the first item on there was a unicorno :) I've been wanting to collect these for such a long time and I've been kind of obsessed with watching unboxing videos on youtube of these beauties and other tokidoki characters. I was really happy when I recently discovered a UK store that sold them; Collect and Display sell a few other blindboxes so if you're interested, check them out here. I decided to choose the Series 4 Unicorno blindboxes because I liked most of the unicornos available in this series. 


How gorgeous are these unicorns!? *heart eyed emoji* I have so many favourites! I love how some of the unicornos' designs are based on other tokidoki characters from different collections. Cornetto resembles the Donutella characters & Cremino resembles the Moofia ones. I think that's awesome! The ones I like the most are Yuma, Cremino, Sirena & Cornetto. You can get any of these unicorns at random, but Kingsley and Elettrico are 'chasers' meaning they are more difficult to find! So... without further ado, here are the unicorns I got!



Yayy! I was so happy that I got one of my absolute favourite unicornos in my first blindbox. Go me! I think it's fantastic that there's a mermaidy unicorn in this series. I love the detail that goes into the design of these vinyl figures. All the colours and the little additions...I mean look how pretty her shell and pearl necklace are! Does anyone else love the feel of vinyl figures? I love the smooth matte 'texture' of the paint. This post is about to get pic heavy because I want to give you all a better look at these pretty ponies! 


Sometimes, there are little mistakes on the figures. I've seen this in quite a few of the youtube videos I've watched; someone even got one without an eye painted on! As you can see, my mermaid unicorn has a bent horn! haha but I don't know, I'm just really glad that I got her. I like how there's a different pattern on each side of her, and how the tail is a different colour to the body. Next, blindbox number 2....


.... I got Can Can! She's fantastic, so bright & colourful. The feathers on her head are an awesome addition, and I love the bunting pattern on her body. Another really pretty unicorno... I can't believe how nice they are! I like the shiny gold paint on her horn and star. One thing I personally dislike about this unicorno is the grey colour used for her body. It's a little dull looking. 


On this unicorno, the patterns are the same on both sides of the body, but I love how each of her hooves are a different colour. The red stars on her ears are cute, and the blue used for her hair is one of my favourite colours! I noticed a small mistake on Can Can too. She has a white smudge on one of her eyes. It's a little annoying to have mistakes on both my new unicornos, but it's not put me off wanting to complete the whole collection.


 Overall, I'm very happy with both of my unicorno vinyl figures. They are lovely, with lots of awesome details and I can't wait to have a little army of them to decorate my bedroom. I even love the boxes, they are so pretty and include a little story on the back , 'The Unicornos were once simple little ponies that were out trotting and wandered into a magic waterfall. Passing through the waterfall, the ponies transformed into unicorns and found a hidden magical kingdom. The Unicornos live between the magic kingdom and our world'.... so sweet

 I hope you all enjoyed today's post.
