I'd been seeing them all over the place and was KIND of interested, though I'm not a plush collector and that's an expensive blind box.

Nommi have vinyl or ABS faces, inset eyes, and a plush body with an armature.

After looking at all of the different Nommi on Kikagoods, I chose Interesting Fruits because I liked all of the options.

I went with the "with box" option so I could get to open a box...

One thing I don't like about some of the more recent blind box figures, especially more expensive ones that stores will open and then sell revealed ones individually is that there is often a little card in the box that reveals who's in the bag.

I did see an unboxing video on Insta today that I now know was fake because these little dolls come in bags inside their boxes, and the one that was opened didn't have a bag.

Now, there's a running.... I don't know if I'd call it a joke or a circumstance or what with my friends and me but I don't like the color red, and I VERY often end up with the red variant of blind box toys; the only one I didn't want. In the Nommi series, there is no red option! The closest is Apple, which is kind of dusty pinks.

... I got the one closest possible to red 😂

The drawings look cute and kind of sweet but my Apple looks grumpy. That might just be me being in a bad mood because I've been having a less than stellar week.

She also came out of there with her eyes um....

You ok, there, kiddo?

Even though the position is sort of fixed, there is some expression possible depending on position.

Apple is a lop-eared rabbit, and I didn't expect to find weights in her ears. The weights crunch like glass beads and are pretty heavy.

She also does have a little tail.

The fur is pretty soft. I've felt softer, but it's not bad.

Her armature is too short in her left arm so that arm doesn't pose as well, and it poked a hole in her fur shell.

That's disappointing.

It's normal to be hard on yourself, because you want to do the best you can and accomplish everything, even when your time or energy is limited. However, sometimes the criticism towards yourself is too much, and it has a negative impact on your mood and motivation. The next time you catch yourself thinking that you "should" be doing more, pause and see if that's actually helpful, because maybe you're doing as much as you can already.

Every lake belongs to the quietness desired by the swans.
