Malteses part 2: 79

Not a big fan of the built-in ear bows. Or these strange little muddy eyes

Also baffled by the little holes in her ears?

Do any hamtaro collectors know about the Cocotama toy line? They are very much a spiritual successor to the Hamtaro Epoch toys. They have the same squishy figurines with holes to attach them to playsets and accessories. They're so similar you would expect them to be made by Epoch, but they were produced by Bandai with no Epoch involvement as far as I can tell. I'd like to know the backstory on how they went about producing such a similar toy line

I got this set to see what I thought of the playsets and to grab some of the figurines! The figures are beautiful and I adore them, the playset has an amazing, detailed sculpt, but I'm not super sure about the color scheme in person compared to the stock photos.

i got the top secret journal! it's... a little lacking compared to what i thought it was going to be like, but there's still some cute things to note!

prepare yourself for some terrible quality photos

i guess i thought there would be more banter or interesting facts about from hoops and yoyo (and everyone else too). but unfortunately, most of the pages are blank for you to write on with only small renders of the gang and speech bubbles :/

i did think this render was cute

oh well, there's still fun things i noticed. first, this book was published in 2011.

interesting

i can't share every render, but one thing i noticed were some characters rarely seen in h&y media, like the blue bird who appeared in early homepages, chili bear, puck, and newbie, who i didn't even know about until recently.

here are some pages and things i found to interesting:

puck in 2024?! :0

fun facts about hoops and yoyo from the book:

yoyo's best friend is hoops (awww)

hoops' best friend is newbie (but he's not sure what he is)

hoops likes to be in charge (which yoyo says isn't a secret and that he is a loud talker)

hoops wonders what it's like to be taller

hoops oftentimes goes too far with a practical joke (yoyo says it's been 17 times)

hoops likes being small

piddles is bilingual (cool fact that carried over from the ecards!)

yoyo loves donuts

yoyo doesn't have elbows (huh?)

piddles' big dream is going to move to los angeles and become a rock star

headcanoners, go nuts with these :)

another thing i noticed is there's a place to put a lock. maybe it came with a lock and key? hmmmm

for the anti-climatic

post. see ya later!
