Product Review; Tsum Tsum Advent Calendar

I think these are the cutest things and my kids will love them. I decided to do a review. I will hopefully remember to update this blog starting December 1^st when the kids first start to open each box.

What is it?; Disney Tsum Tsum Countdown to Christmas Advent Calendar

Where did I get it?: Amazon

Price; $29.99 with free prime shipping

I am sure the price of these will go up starting in November when people really start getting into the holiday shopping. I am sure they will be hard to find except for on Ebay for $100’s of dollars!

Per the box, this is what is included;

1 Advent Calendar

6 Large Figures with 6 Holiday Head Pieces

6 Medium Figures in Holiday Attire

6 Small Figures and 6 Holiday Themed Stackable Accessories

I am pretty happy so far with these, although I didn’t open the box. I suspect that the actual calendar is cardboard.

Day 1; Minnie Mouse medium figure
Day 2: Star for a mini figure
Day 3: Bambi medium figure with a cute little Christmas headband
Day 4: A cute sparkly white cat mini figure

As you can tell, after Day 4 I got super busy and just wasn't able to keep up with what they got each day. Everything was very cute, my only thought was, the box itself. Although a super cute idea at the end it was pretty flimsy.

Thoughts;

The TAT is a little longer with these, however she has to find the right decorations for your theme request, then make the product and put it all together. One thing I’ve learned about Staci is that she is a perfectionist and everything has to be just right, which is totally ok when it comes to these loaves!

Thoughts;

First off, this movie was way too long. I feel like I missed a movie, and maybe I did with all the new characters in this one. And I’m sorry, but what the heck was spider-man and ant-man doing?!

There was way too much “in” fighting between the members. They could have cut all that in half and the movie would have been much better and way easier to follow.

The thing that I do love about these movies, besides the action/adventure and the cast is that they seem like they could be a family, the bantering between the characters, the love that they show for each other. It’s great.

Thoughts;

This movie was super cute! This was one of those  movies where they show some of the funniest parts in the previews, I dislike when they do that and wish they’d leave some out.

All in all, loved the details. For instance, big cat in a little box.

It was action packed, lots going on but very fun movie for the kids to watch.

The movie starts out with the owners leaving and showing what each different pet does while. It just gets cuter from there!

What I Received;

Mystery Box

All tart shapes are miscellaneous. I will list all scents down below. This all came in a medium flat rate box and it was filled to the top. The wax all came in good shape and nothing is damaged or even broken. The box itself smelled amazing and it could be smelled as soon as it was opened!

Thoughts;

The cost was $50 for this giant box of wax and the turn around time was quick, I ordered on 9/9 and received today, the 21^st. All the scents are totally random so it’s to be expected to have some that I don’t like, which is totally ok since my daughter will take those.

I did receive some doubles, which is to be expected. All wax appears to be parasoy and going back through it, everything smells really good

Thoughts;

The first movie was good, an original concept that was creepy, scary and good. Then they just kept coming out with new ones. They say they are going to do this every year.

My whole feelings on this purge, is; if this ever happened, I’d be outta here so fast. “All crime is legal”. They say it’s to “keep costs down” but from the eyes of someone watching the movie, it seems it would cost more for this. But what do I know? Who am I to downplay the plot?

This one just had odd casting. I mean Bubba Gump was one of the main characters!! I’m not saying that Mykelit isn’t a good actor, because he is, I very much enjoyed him as Limehouse in Justified along with many others, but this role just didn’t seem to fit him.

Of course our hero is going to come ahead again and save the girl. I mean, the entire movie was just over done and it was very obvious as to what was going to happen.

All in all I was disappointed and wish they’d just stop before they get too old.
