Meet Marie ♥

I've been saving up for a new Alpacasso to join our little family. As soon as I saw the eden series I knew she was the one. I have two pink boys, Toulouse, from the earmuff series, and Berlioz, from the gorgeous series.

(A cookie for whoever can guess where their names are from~)

Bought: HERE!! (Anime-Dolphin eBay)

Anime-Dolphin sells a range of plushes and merchandise, mostly related to Japanese animation. They have cute ghibli, pokemon and disney collections plus lots of other series. 

Shipping: $3

When she arrived she was packed into a padded, yellow, paper envelope. In that she was sealed in a plastic bag. A little squished as you can see but being a plushie, it just took a few squishes to get her back into shape. She arrived a lot sooner than I thought she would. She was posted within 24 hours after payment, on the 15th of April. Estimated delivery was for the 30th of April but she arrived on the 24th. That is almost a week early, so I was pleasantly surprised when she arrived.

Item/Quality/Price: $39.99

She is a white, female, 17 cm Eden Series Alpacasso. She has little pink cheeks and stitched eyelashes. She has an amuse alpacasso tag on her tummy towards her back leg.

My main concern in purchasing her was that she was going to be a bad knockoff. If she is a knock off, the difference seems very minor to me, she is a very good one. I don't know if she is or isn't a genuine Alpacasso. She does have a label, and a tag, however the only thing that makes me suspicious she is not a genuine one is her label is not an 'eden series' label. I'm no Alpacasso expert so it's only a suspicion. Everything else to me screams genuine. She is a really good quality plush, knock off or not.

I was hoping for a genuine one, but the places where I know to get them had sold out of the eden series. So I took a chance on Anime-Dolphin and I love what I got.

Overall:

I love her to bits. She will get lots of cuddles and fits in wonderfully with Toulouse and Berlioz. I would advise anyone of thinking to buy from Anime-Dolphin, look at the store through the american eBay site. Her Australian site has a lot less available, this product isn't even listed in her Australian store. If you do this there will be price differences, better keep an eye out for that :)
