Furuta Choco Egg: Animal Crossing figures

Can anyone guess what I've been playing lately?  Yep! Animal Crossing New Leaf on my 3DS XL.  I gotta say, while I've never fully played the previous games, this one has me completely addicted. It's the perfect game to play while waiting for a friend, or just before going to bed at night.  I love the variety of characters, goods, and customization.  
Again, a main part of this game is enjoying the characters.  So when I saw Furuta's Choco Eggs were going to come out with a line of the little guys I had to pick up a box. Here is the box below: 
Animal Crossing New Leaf is called とびだせ どうぶつの森 Tobidase Dōbutsu no Mori or Animal Forest: Jump Out, in Japanese.
I'm sure most people recognize the little boxes that Choco Eggs come in.  For anyone that isn't familiar with buying a set box, you get 10 individual little boxes.  Don't be fooled though, Choco Egg characters are notorious for being difficult to collect.  You'll never get a full set of characters out of one of these set boxes. The Choco Egg boxes are always random, and a person can easily get 3 to 5 of the same character out of one of these set boxes.
I love the designs on the boxes.  They really fit the theme of the game, and show off the characters you can get.  I really enjoy all of these little guys so as long as I didn't get too many repeats I knew I was going to be happy.
So tiny! Here is a size comparison with my Kanji.
The wrappers on these are always shiny and adorable, plus the chocolate tastes good.
 Here is my set! Reese, Cyrus, Isabelle, Kapp'n, Tom Nook, K.K. Slider, and Digby.
 I'd say the average height for these guys is about and inch to and inch and a half, or 4 to 5 centimeters.
Being such small figures they do have some missed paint spots, and like all Furuta Choco Egg figures, they feel waxy and slick.  They look wonderful as a set though!  Like I said, doubles are bound to happen, and I suddenly have a trio of Nooks at the end of my openings.
Hope this was interesting, I should be back to more Sunday posts this for this summer.  I'm looking into filming some reviews just to change things up.  Thank you again for reading!
