spreepicky haul #1

This is my very first review on spreepicky items. Spreepicky is a very cool store for everyone who loves asian fashion (((o(*゚▽゚*)o))). You can buy clothes, accessories, cosplay supplies, home accessories etc. The goods aren't expensive and they often have sales or special offers (*^^*). The shop is based in China, so you perhaps might have problems with the customs, depending on the laws in your country (I'm from Germany and I hadn't have any problems (*⌒∇⌒*)).

The order arrived within 3 weeks, which is pretty fast for a order from China to Germany.

And here is my loot(o✪‿✪o)!

Heart Hollow Neck Choker Garter (SP153292)
https://www.spreepicky.com/products/5-colors-heart-hollow-neck-choker-garter-sp153292?lssrc=recentviews&variant=6356535749
This is a very cute chocker with a heart-shaped trinket thingy (゚▽゚`*). It's available in the colors white, black, purple (lavender), pink and transparent. They're made of pleather, except for the transparent on, which is made of plasic.
I've got the pink one (*^^*).
The choker has 4 snap fastener, which allows even masculine necks to wear them 
( )!
It's very comfortable, you can wear it tight or loose. The only disadvantage I had so far is, that the choker smack intense like chemicals. But if you leave it on your balcony or somewhere outside for few days, the smell disappears (≧∇≦).


Retro Big Round Eyes Glasses (Sp141333)
https://www.spreepicky.com/collections/accessories/products/5-colors-retro-big-round-eyes-glasses-sp141333?variant=1609436932
These glasses are very big and very adorable (⁎⚈᷀᷁᷀᷁). The nose part and the outer glass part are made of metal, the main part of the frame is made of plastic. The glasses are available in the colors pink, black, white, brown and green.

I've got the brown one o(〃^▽^〃)o.

The glasses come with a hardcase, a small bag and a microfibre cloth (^O^).

They make you face look rounder and smaller and they have these typical 90s anime glasses shape (ؔ ˒̠̮ ؔ).


Pastel Cute Girly Candy Mulitcolor Diamonds Bracelet (SP130289)
https://www.spreepicky.com/collections/accessories/products/pastel-cute-girly-candy-multicolor-diamonds-bracelet-sp130289?variant=1565900676
This is just a cute, little bracelet, which looks like one of these retro candy bracelets. It's made of plastic (not real candy!). It works on almost every pastelish outfit
°(ᴖ)°.


Pastel Blue Pink Mixed Wig (SP165379)
https://www.spreepicky.com/collections/frontpage/products/pastel-blue-pink-mixed-wig-sp165379?variant=16857979653
This is a medium-length pastel blue-pink wig, which is made of "artfact heat-resisting hair fiber" (I think it's powerlon or kanekalon, but I'm not 100% sure (((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))).
The wig is approx 56cm (22,0472inch) long and has a long fringe, it's recommended to cut it or brush the fringe on one side.
The wig works well as lolita or cosplay wig o(^^)o. I'll maybe use this one for a Midori (Space Patrol Luluco) cosplay o(≧∇≦o).

Love Live! Cosplay School Uniform Bow only (SP151719) and [Custom Size] S-XL Love Live! Happy Maker Anime School Uniform Pleated Skirt (SP152108)
https://www.spreepicky.com/collections/accessories/products/love-love-cosplay-school-uniform-bow-only-sp151719?variant=3994517893
https://www.spreepicky.com/collections/cosplay/products/s-xl-love-live-anime-school-uniform-pleated-skirt-sp152108?variant=2885583236
The bow and the skirt are for my upcoming Love Live! cosplayヾ(〃^^)ノ. Can you guess the character?
The bow is made of satin and it is available in the colour blue (for 1st-year Rin, Hanayo, Maki), red (for 2nd-year Honoka, Umi, Kotori) and green (for 3rd-year Eli, Nozomi, Nico). It has a fastener similar to some bikini fasteners, that makes it super easy to apply(^ ^.

The skirt is made of polyester. It's available in S-XL (Asian size!) or in your personally custom made size. If you don't know your Asian size, you can use the size chart underneath the description (*^^*).


White/Pink/Red/Blue EVA Cosplay One-Piece Swimsuit (SP165637)
https://www.spreepicky.com/products/white-pink-red-eva-cosplay-one-pieces-swimsuit-sp165637?lssrc=recentviews&variant=18127664005
This swimsuit is a replicate of the plugsuits from the anime "Evangelion 2.22: You can (not) advance". It's available in the color blue (Shinji), white (Rei), red (Asuka) and pink (Mari) (*¬*).
I actually ordered the pink one, but sadly they send me the red one. Because the replacement would be too complicated, I've decided to keep the red one. Of cause I contacted the customer service, they were very kind and they refund me a part of the original price, which is absolute okay for me (▽≦).
As NGE is my favorite anime ever, I absolute needed one (((o(*゚▽゚*)o))). It looks sooo pretty. The only throwback is the dress and undress is a bit weird, because neck part is very tight. Meanwhile I know how to dress and undress is, but I was kind of helpless at the beginnig (tip: first the lower part, the the upper part, for undressing the other way round) (^O^).

That is everything for today. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Unboxing: Fire Embelm Fates: Special Edition (European Version)


Finally I have it: The special edition of Fire Emblem Fates! o(*>ω<*)o
Man, it was really a strain to get it... (_ )
Actually I wanted to pre-order it on amazon as usually, but it was not listed for a long time, so I've pre-ordered it at Saturn, which was the first shop that listed it. I don't have a Saturn shop nearby and I haven't ever ordered something there, but I wanted that game so bad that I took the risc °(<
About one month ago they sent a mail with the content:
"blablabla... unfortunately we have to inform you that your order 'Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition' will delay by approx 1 month ...blablabla"
YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW ANGY I'VE BEEN! I'VE ALREADY PAID IT!! Ó )
I talked to people at discussing boards, who ordered at Saturn too, and they had the same problem and they found out that they can't produce it punctual¯\_(̯̀́)_/¯. Ok... fine.. but why just Saturn sent their customers a mail and not amazon, which finally had it in lised? I was really mad until I checked my email the next day. 
Saturn sent me again a mail with the content:
"blablabla... we're happy to inform you that your order 'Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition' will be delivered as scheduled on 20th May ...blablabla"
ARE YOU F*@$!%µ KIDDING ME?!What an unnecessary emotional roller coaster ride!! (
Ok, end of my sad story. The main thing is that I have it! *:.. o(▽≦)o ..:*

 ┐(ԾԾ)┌

... and here is the back
 (*^^*)

This is the inside with the game, the CD and the mini figure (the Artbook is placed under the first layer of cardboard).

This picture on the inside of the box is so beautiful 
*(•̀•́)*



And here is the Game again. I've really fallen in love with this artwork 
(●♡∀♡))*

Here is the backside.

The CD! The soundtrack was composed by ryo from supercell. supercell is one of the most sucessful and most influential band in the purview of Japanese music and anime (yes, I'm a fan) 
( >ω<


The constellation symbols are looking great 
( ˊᵕˋ )



This the the Agnès Oblige mini figure, wearing her new outfit 
∩( ・ω・)∩
(I really wanted the Bravely Default LE, with the other Agnès figure, but I could't afford it (;**;) )


Here she is out of the box 
(*^^*)


She is ≈ 9,5 cm (3,74 inch) high.

Because of her long dress, she can stand alone, without a base 
( ^.^)

Edea was one of my favorites, and this illustration is so beautiful. Blue looks very good on her
(〃・ω・〃)


Here you can see the characters, how they are looking in the cutscenes. Image an "Bravely" game on the WiiU and it will look like this
*・゜゚・*(^O^)/*・゜゚・*

Airy is so damn cute (*)


I like this type of monsters. They're reminding me on the witches from "Mahou Shojou Madoka Magica"
(〃・ω・)

The production design looks so great, I want one as a poster
( )
