I am a Little Twin Stars character fan. They're Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty. I grew up possessing Sanrio character toys and items and to me it's the Little Twin Stars that I like best. But we know Sanrio isn't exactly the cheapest of things to buy. Lol! Especially not when you're still a schoolkid. These things were usually gifts from my parents, friends, godparents, and relatives.
So as I became an adult and a professional, I of course eventually got my own means to buy such Little Twin Stars items. I did notice that for a time they didn't really sell stuffed dolls or miniature toys of these things. So I saw them (and bought them) with the other Sanrio characters Hello Kitty and My Melody, but not really Little Twin Stars.
Until one day in 2012, while I had nothing better to do, I decided to browse the internet to shop for Sanrio items, and saw a youtube video of these awesome little Little Twin Stars miniature collection or set which I've never come across before. Never mind Re-ment even. But it was really awesome.
I can't seem to find that video anymore but at the time there were at least two which I remember I checked out that were quite descriptive, from US collectors. But here's another one I dug up just now. The lone result I've seen so far.
Here is an image of what's on the box cover.
After seeing/watching the above, it was kind of a mad dash to find and buy my own set. Lol!
If I'm not mistaken, I believe it was probably the first of several sets of Little Twin Stars that were released by Re-ment. It was labeled as Little Twin Stars "Hoshizora"/welcome/Starry Sky party.
As I was only interested in Little Twin Stars and was a Re-ment newbie, I had thought these things were quite expensive. I got that set for more than $100 USD, from an online seller, not on eBay as I wasn't really an eBay user yet at the time. There weren't a lot of it available online and they were expensive by the time I came across it in 2012. And so I thought all Re-ment sets must cost that much and so I didn't bother checking if it had other characters. Plus I think since I was a newbie, I don't recall seeing other sets anyway...
So since then, at least every year I check out online if there could be a new release of Little Twin Stars Re-ment sets. Because out of all the Re-ment sets, the Little Twin Stars (LTS) ones are the highest priority for me to collect. Lol!!
Needless to say, I did get the subsequent sets in the following years: the Dream Room, Twinkle Sweets Factory, and Starry Sky Bakery. I think out of all my Re-ment sets since then (not just LTS), the first set has the most items. I'll blog and post pics of its contents sooner or later.
So this is how I got started with Re-ment toys. I've since purchased non-LTS Re-ment sets as these Re-ment sets are just crazy cute!
In my next entry I'll discuss what is Re-ment, for Re-ment newbie readers out there. 'Cause I was once like you and it's handy to know more about what you're getting into before you and your funds, time, and effort, dive into it. :D Ciao!!
